Land use — Flanders — condition 2019

This map shows the actual land use for every 10 m cell within the Flemish Region, and this for condition year 2019. The concept of land use refers to the actual use of the land for specific human activities such as housing, industry and services, recreation,... or crops, such as arable, grass-growing,... or natural vegetation, such as forest, bushes,... The actual land use of a site is not necessarily identical to the legal-planological destination of this site. Land can be used as a residential area, but effectively used as grassland or arable land. This map does not contain any information on the planological destination. The actual land use, as shown on this map, has been compiled on the basis of the 4 data levels of the 2019 Land Use File. In particular, this is done by combining and aggregating a number of categories from the different data levels of this land use file. For more details on the creation of the underlying ‘land use file’ (with 4 data levels) and the composition until this resulting land use map, reference is made to the technical report ‘Land use and space seizure in Flanders, condition 2019’, which can be found at https://archief-algemeen.omgeving.vlaanderen.be/xmlui/handle/acd/449392
