The LUM Geodatabase

What is it?

The LAMASUS land use management (LUM) Geodatabase contains a series of spatial data sets, developed to support the modelling work in the LAMASUS project. The LUM Geodatabase includes:  

  • Corine land cover annual time series from 2000 to 2018 based on Corine accounting layers for 2000, 2006, 2012 and 2018 produced by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and indicators of change from the high-resolution land-cover time series produced by OpenGeoHub.  
  • Land use management layers for 2000, 2010 and 2018 for forest, cropland, grassland and urban land use management classes. The data sets were aggregated from 100 m to 1 km and NUTS2 levels using a procedure that involved fitting Corine land cover to official statistics on forest, cropland and grassland from FAO and Eurostat.  
  • Area estimates of changes in major land cover/land use types between 2000 and 2018 with uncertainty estimates. The uncertainties were calculated from a validated sample using Geo-Wiki and visual interpretation of satellite imagery with a time series tool to verify if changes in Corine had occurred.
