This data set serves as documentation of land use within the Lower West Coast (LWC) Planning Region of the South Florida Water Management District as it existed in 2011-2012. Land Use data was updated from 2008-09 LCLU by photo-interpretation from 2011-2013 aerial photography and classified using the SFWMD modified FLUCCS classification system. Features were interpreted from the county-based aerial photography (1 ft pixel) and updated on screen from the 2008-09 vector data. Horizontal accuracy of the data corresponds to the positional accuracy of the county aerial photography. The minimum mapping unit for classification was 2 acres for wetlands and 5 acres for uplands. The update was completed on 11/13/2014. Please note: The field names in the original attribute table from SFWMD were renamed by the GeoPlan Center. The original field names from SFWMD are listed in the Process Steps (Data Quality Section) and in the Attribute Definitions (Entity and Attribute Information section). All Water Management District land use datasets distributed via FGDL will contain these standardized field names, for ease of using land use data at the statewide extent. This is an update to the FGDL data layer LU_SFWMD_2008.
This data supports various missions of the District (SFWMD).

The FLUCCS codes used in this update are similar to the 2004-05 LCLU codes
with some minor modifications. In the 2008-09 update, the LCLU code of 7440 -
Levees in the 2004-05 version of the FLUCCS has been re-mapped to 7470 -
Dikes and Levees; The LCLU code for Abandoned Groves has been changed
from 3230 to 2240; Wet Prairie 6430 was remapped to Fresh Water Marshes
6410.

SFWMD Water Supply Bureau is responsible for the 2011-13 Land Use Mapping Update project.
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
Assessment of classification Accuracy: IT-GIS assessed overall quality and classification accuracy using a standardized quality control process to meet accuracy criteria. Each section deliverable, as well as the pilot, had a overall classification accuracy of 90% for each Level I category, 85% for each FLUCCS Level II category and 75% for FLUCCS Level III and IV categories.
Minimum mapping unit for land cover/land use polygons was 2 acres for wetlands and 5 acres for uplands.
The 2008-09 update uses the 2004-05 LCLU dataset as the basis. The delineations were performed in a heads-up digital environment relative to the 2008-09 natural color county aerial photography. All boundaries were updated through on screen digitizing to ensure accurate and coincident registration of LCLU data that reflects the 2008-09 aerial photography.
This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan
Spatial and Attribute Information
An overview of the mapping methodology and work flow which was utilized during the project is demonstrated in "Database Design" document stored in Documentum. The typical workflow for each check in-and-out cycle includes 1) check out data from SDE to FGDB; 2) perform editing on screen based on 2008-09 aerial photography as the background; 3) validate topology rules; 4) eliminate coincidental attribution with some exceptions such as polygons connected to each other with a corner point or polygons share the same boundary but one of them has not the latest aerial photograph available as the background; 5) assess overall accuracy using Kappa statistics; and 6) check in data to SDE. No line work was transferred from the county parcel data.

Feature Dataset: LAND_USE_2014_UPDATE
The partial district-wide Geodatabase Feature Dataset was originally in the following projection:
NAD_1983_HARN_StatePlane_Florida_East_FIPS_0901_Feet
GeoPlan exported the LAND_USE_2014_UPDATE feature dataset to shapefile
using ArcMap
The shapefile was then reprojected to the FGDL albers projection.
The shapefile was then renamed to lu_sfwmd_2013_lwc.shp

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
