Description:

Abstract:

This dataset contains 2015 Religious Center Facility boundary information for the State of Florida. It contains a combination of churches, temples, synagogues, mosques, chapels, centers and other types of religious center locations, from data sources including: county specific religious locations, SuperPages address locations, and Florida Department of Revenue parcel data compiled and standardized by Panda Consulting. This data is meant to be used for planning purposes only and is not intended to represent a 100% inventory of religious center boundaries. Religious 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_RELIGION_10.

Purpose:

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

Supplemental_Information:

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.

Process_Description:

GeoPlan used 2014 Florida Department of Revenue parcel tax data records as compiled and standardized by Panda Consulting for all 67 counties in the State of Florida, to create the religious center boundaries layer. The religious center boundaries layer, GC_RELIGIONBND_OCT15 was created as follows:
(1) Parcels were selected using the already verified religious facilities from the existing GC_RELIGION_OCT15 religious centers point layer, which was created using data from county specific religious locations and SuperPage address locations for religious centers. The selection was then exported to create the layer. The GC_RELIGION_OCT15 and GC_RELIGIONBND_OCT15 layers can be linked by a unique ID found in the GCID field.
(2) A land-use code value in the 2014 parcels layer was used to identify any religious centers that were not identified via the religious centers point layer. All records with the use-code, 071 "Churches" were selected out and exported. Next, the selected parcels were examined to determine whether or not they indeed contained a religious facility. In most cases, religious center locations were checked using imagery and Google Street View. Parcels that could be verified were added to the layer.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA

Distribution_Liability:

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: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
