Manual Land Classification

Here I created a polygon feature class, digitizing all land cover in a given study area. Used to measure the total impact of newly proposed developments on existing undeveloped land in order to determine if the impact would be greater than 0.25% of the area of undeveloped land.

Methodology

• ArcGIS Pro feature creation/edit tools

• Raster Mosaic to show satellite imagery for full study area

• Topology to ensure no gaps/overlaps

• Intersect on land-cover polygons with proposed developments to find impacted area

• Adherence to MMU of 0.4 hectares
