Description

Land use data in 72 basic categories, 17 and 27 classes and 4 main categories, obtained by visual interpretation of sample points from a regular 100-metre grid on three-dimensional, digital aerial photographs. Land use and land coverage are surveyed separately since 1979, making two items of information available for each sample point, which could be evaluated individually (as "pure" use and coverage) and in almost any combination. The 2004 standard nomenclature (NOAS04) includes 72 combined basic categories of this kind.
