This dataset contains 2015 Cultural Centers and related Cultural Association Facility Boundary Information for the State of Florida. A cultural center is an organization, building or complex that promotes culture and arts. This dataset defines culture centers as; aquariums & zoological facilities, arboreta & botanical gardens, dinner theaters, drive-ins, historical places & services, libraries, motion picture theaters, museums and art galleries, performing arts centers, performing arts theaters, planetariums, studios and art galleries, and theater producers stage facilities. This layer is a combination of cultural centers and related cultural association addresses from online sources including; Art-Collecting.com, Association of Zoos and Aquariums, Florahome USA, Florida Artists Registry.com, Florida Association of Museums, Florida Department of Emergency Management - HSIP, Florida Department of State - Division of Library and Information Services, USA Zoos, and Yellowbook.com. This dataset contains fields denoting the physical address, and contact information for culture and related cultural association facilities located in Florida. This data is meant to be used for planning purposes only and is not intended to represent a 100% inventory of cultural facilities. Culture Center locations that have been verified are marked with the letter V in the FLAG field. This layer is an update of the previously released FGDL layer PAR_CULTURECENTER_10.
- Purpose:
-
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for
a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

What is Geocoding?
Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching. Geocoding
is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address
(such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map.
Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one
side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the
street contains odd house numbers.
The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location
of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and
street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using
the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side
of the street the building is located. Geocoding Accuracy
The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural
areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of
addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent
along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban
areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas.
Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually
more reliable than those in rural areas.
For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly
off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others
may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses
are distributed evenly along the route.

Please Note: This layer has not been ground-truthed and should not be the sole
data source used to identify culture center locations. There are known errors in
this layer where parcels included may not physically include a culture center
building. Some parcels identified in this layer have been assigned their land use
designation based on the owner of the property rather than their current use. In
such cases, these lots may actually be vacant and/or used for parking or other
purposes related to the owner. To better identify spatially accurate culture center
locations, this layer should be used in conjunction with FGDL Layer Culture
Centers (FGDL layer name = GC_CULTURECENTER). The locations in
GC_CULTURECENTER can be used to cross-reference the culture center
parcels included in this layer.

of Library and Information Services' library database at <http://www.fllibraries.org/>.
The database was downloaded in Excel format on August 11, 2011. The appropriate
information was extracted and placed in the proper format for geocoding. There were
1208 records in the original database and 1136 were able to be matched during the
geocoding process.
-Sources for Motion Picture Theaters
1) Yellowbook.com
GeoPlan obtained information for motion picture theaters at
<http://www.yellowbook.com/yellowpages/?where=florida> during August 2011. The
term "Movie Theater" was searched for all locations in Florida. The appropriate
information was extracted and placed in the proper format for geocoding. There were
374 unique records extracted and 359 were able to be matched during the geocoding
process.
-Sources for Museums and Art Galleries:
1) Art-Collecting.Com
GeoPlan gathered information for art galleries listed at
<http://art-collecting.com/galleries_fl.htm> during the month of August. Each website
listed (if available) was visited and the appropriate information was extracted and
placed in the proper format for geocoding. In total 191 unique records
were extracted and all were matched during the geocoding process.
2) Florida Artists Registry.com

placed in the proper format for geocoding. In total 8 unique records were extracted and all
were able to be matched during the geocoding process
- Sources for Theaters and Performing Arts Centers
1)Florahome USA
GeoPlan gathered information for theaters and performing arts center listed at
<http://florahomeusa.blogspot.com/2011/03/theatres-and-performing-art-centers-in.html> during
the month of August 2011. The appropriate information for each theater and performing arts
center was extracted and placed in the proper format for geocoding. In total 108 unique records
were extracted and all were able to be matched during the geocoding process.
All records were standardized, any remaining duplicates were removed and converted
to a general database file (.dbf). The dbf was then geocoded against a statewide 2010 NAVTEQ
street dataset and converted into a shapefile with the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection.
(See "Map Projection Parameters" below). After geocoding the following steps were applied.
- Unmatched locations or locations receiving a score below 80 were
reevaluated using Google Maps. Locations' addresses that were
successfully located were modified to reflect the correct address using
the geocode rematch tool in ArcGIS.
- 90 records were unable to be matched and removed from the database.
- Added and calculated the COUNTY, TYPE, OP_CLASS, USNG_FL_1K, LONG_DD, and, LAT_DD fields.
- Added the OPERATING, HOURS, YR_BUILT, COMMON_USE, USE, FLAG and UPDATE_DAY fields.
- Added FGDLAQDATE based on the date GeoPlan acquired the

- Process_Description:
-
The GeoPlan Center performed the following steps in order to create the October 2015
statewide culture center facilities data layer.
Locations were checked using imagery and Google Street View and either
marked as Verified or Not Verified in the FLAG field, please see the FLAG field
Attribute Definition for more information.
Next GeoPlan Center performed the following attribute table adjustments:
- FEDERAL_ID was manually added to federal library database
- Libraries were replaced with updated features from federal library database
- Correctional Facilities listed as libraries were removed
- 14 Art Council points previously found in the Social Services layer were appended
- 14 Attraction points were added from the FDEM HSIP Attraction layer update
- 59 Libraries were added
- Duplicates were located and removed using GCID
- Addresses were standardized
- Latitude and longitude were updated
- Socio-Cultural Effect data fields were updated.
- MGRS was updated using spatial location
- DESCRIPT field added based on NAME
- FGDLAQDATE field added based on most recent update
- Uppercased all fields
GeoPlan created the parcel boundaries by selecting and exporting parcels
that contained the geocoded cultural center points. Any parcels that
contained culture center points were exported and manually examined
for accuracy. Parcels were kept for any points with 'NV' for the FLAG field.
For best results, use parcel layer in conjunction with point layer using GCID field.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
