Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database (CAPAD) 2014 (Not current release)

The Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database (CAPAD) 2014 provides both spatial and text information about government, indigenous and privately protected areas for continental Australia. State and Territory conservation agencies supplied data current to 30 June 2014. This is the ninth version of the database, with previous versions released in 1997, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012. \n\nThe Department also publishes protected areas data for the marine environment. "CAPAD 2014-marine" contains spatial and text information about offshore protected areas, for both State and Commonwealth waters. Previous versions of CAPAD marine information have been published in 1997, 2002, 2004, 2008, 2010 and 2012. \n\nCAPAD provides a snapshot of protected areas that meet the IUCN definition of a protected area:"A protected area is an area of land and/or sea especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological diversity, and of natural and associated cultural resources, and managed through legal or other effective means" (IUCN 1994).\n\nThe department publishes a summary of the CAPAD data biennially on its website at http://www.environment.gov.au/capad/ This version of CAPAD 2014 is a public and downloadable version of CAPAD 2014 data, available for use through the CC-BY licencing model. \n\nMain attributes in the full version of CAPAD 2014 include:\n\nPA_ID: The protected area ID code. Created from RES_NUMBER if unique, otherwise it is a DoE generated number.\n\nNAME: the name of the protected area. Gazetted PAs with no name are flagged as "Unnamed" with a reserve number. \n\nTYPE: the type of protected area according to the protected area establishment mechanism. \n\nTYPE_ABBR: the abbreviation of the TYPE.\nACCP\tConservation Covenant\nASMA\tAntarctic Specially Managed Area\nASPA\tAntarctic Specially Protected Area\nBG\tBotanic Gardens\nCA\tConservation Area\nCCA\tCoordinated Conservation Area\nCCAZ1\tCCA Zone 1 National Park\nCCAZ3\tCCA Zone 3 State Conservation Area\nCOR\tCoastal Reserve\nCP\tConservation Park\nCR\tCoastal Reserve\nFLR\tFlora Reserve\nFR\tForest Reserve\nGR\tGame Reserve\nHA\tHeritage Agreement\nHIR\tHistorical Reserve\nHPOT\tBiodiversity Hotspot\nHR\tHeritage River\nHS\tHistoric Site\nHTR\tHunting Reserve\nIPA\tIndigenous Protected Area\nKCR\tKarst Conservation Reserve\nMA\tManagement Agreement\nMAA\tManagement Agreement Area\nMCP\tNational Parks Act Schedule 4 park or reserve\nMNP\tMarine National Park\nMR\tMiscellaneous Reserve\nMS\tMarine Sanctuary\nNAP\tNature Park\nNCA\tNatural Catchment Area\nNCR\tNature Conservation Reserve\nNFR\tNatural Features Reserve\nNP\tNational Park\nNPA\tNational Park Aboriginal\nNPC\tNational Park (Commonwealth)\nNR\tNature Reserve\nNRA\tNature Recreation Area\nNREF\tNature Refuge\nNRS\tNRS Addition - Gazettal in Progress\nOCA\tOther Conservation Area\nOCA/NAP\tOther Conservation Area / Nature Park\nOP\tOther\nPA\tProtected Area\nPNPA\tProposed National Parks Act park or park addition\nPNR\tPrivate Nature Reserve\nPPP\tPermanent Park Preserve\nPS\tPrivate Sanctuary\nRA\tReference Area\nREP\tRegional Park\nRNA\tRemote and Natural Area - not scheduled under NPA/Remote and Natural Area - Schedule 6, National Parks Act (Abbreviated as Remote and Natural Area - not scheduled under Nat Parks Act) \nRP\tRecreation Park\nRR Regional Reserve\nS5G 5(1)(g)\tReserve\nS5H 5(1)(h)\tReserve\nSCA\tState Conservation Area\nSP\tState Park\nSR\tState Reserve\nWPA\tWilderness Protection Area\nWP\tWilderness Park\nWZ\tWilderness Zone\n\nIUCN: the IUCN protected area management category ascribed by the Managing authority, as outlined in the publication: CNPPA/WCMC "Guidelines for Protected Area management categories". Gland: IUCN, 1994. (ISBN: 2-8317-0201-1).\n\nDefinitions include:\nIA\tStrict Nature Reserve: managed mainly for science;\nIB\tWilderness Area: managed mainly for wilderness protection;\nII\tNational Park: managed mainly for ecosystem protection;\nIII\tNatural Monument: managed mainly for conservation of specific natural features;\nIV\tHabitat / Species Management Area: managed mainly for conservation through management intervention;\nV\tProtected Landscape / Seascape: managed mainly for landscape/seascape conservation and recreation;\nVI\t Managed Resource Protected Area: managed mainly for the sustainable use of natural ecosystems.\n\nGAZ_AREA: area in hectares as described in the nomination document (e.g. parliamentary gazettal), to the nearest hectare. Some protected areas do not have a specific area in the designation.\n\nGIS_AREA: area in hectares based on current spatial data and an Albers equal area projection for Australia. Where protected area consists of multiple polygons (parts) the GIS_AREA is the sum of all the polygons with the same name, type, state and IUCN category. It is this field that is used to calculate the statistics provided in spreadsheets at: www.environment.gov.au/capad/\n\nREPT_AREA is the same with GIS_AREA (previously REPT_AREA is in hectares from the GAZ_AREA attribute and if this is a null value then the GIS_AREA is used. For Protected areas with multiple records, REPT_AREA is a calculated by dividing GAZ_AREA by GIS_AREA of the total then applying this factor to the GIS_AREA of the record). Due to the fact that not all received data have REPT_AREA, it is incomplete and inconsistent if REPT_AREA is used for analysis. \n\nGAZ_DATE: the first gazettal or proclamation date that established any protected area at this site. \n\nLATEST_GAZ: the date of the most recent gazettal or proclamation to add land to the protected area. It can be the same date as the GAZ_AREA.\n\nNRS_PA: This attribute indicates the status of the protected area as part of the National Reserve System (NRS). "Y" = Yes. A protected area located within the State and Territory jurisdiction "I" = an interim protected area - in the process of being gazetted/established. "N" = No. A protected area that does not meet the NRS criteria. "ND" = No Data. A protected area that does not meet NRS criteria, but compliments the NRS with sympathetic management.\n\nSTATE: The state is the state that the protected area is located in. EXT= protected areas located in Australian external territories.\n\nAUTHORITY: The Authority responsible for the management of the protected area mechanism. \nAAD\tAustralian Antarctic Division\nAC_SA\tAlexandrina Council\nACT_TAMSD\tACT Territory and Municipal Services Directorate\nAWC\tAustralian Wildlife Conservancy\nAWC & BA\tAustralian Wildlife Conservancy & Birds Australia\nBBT\tBookmark Biosphere Trust\nBHA\tBush Heritage Australia\nCCC_QLD\tCaloundra City Council\nCR PTY LTD\tConservation Reserves PTY LTD\nDOE\tAustralian Government, Department of the Environment\nEAC_QLD\tEwamian Aboriginal Corporation\nEL Inc._NSW\tEnduring Landscapes Inc.\nFC_NSW\tForestry Commission of NSW\nFPR Inc.\tFriends of the Porongurup Range (Inc)\nGCC_NSW\tGosford City Council\nHCR_CMA\tHunter - Central Rivers Catchment Management Authority\nILC_NT\tIndigenous Land Corporation\nIMG\tIndigenous management group\nIMG, LILC\tIndigenous management group and Local Indigenous Land Council\nKRGC_NSW\tKu-ring-gai Council\nLHI_Board\tLord Howe Island Board\nLILC\tLocal Indigenous Land Council\nLVRC_Q_EPA\tLockyer Valley Regional Council and QLD EPA\nMINCA_QLD\tMagnetic Island Nature Care Association\nNF SA Inc.\tNature Foundation SA Inc\nNSC_QLD\tNoosa Shire Council\nNSW_OEH\tNSW Office of Environment and Heritage\nNT_PWCNT\tParks and Wildlife Commission of the NT\nQLD_DERM\tQueensland Department of Environment and Resource Management\nQLD_EHP\tQueensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection\nQLD_EPA\tQueensland Environment Protection Agency\nQLD_NPRSR\tQueensland Department of National Parks, Recreation, Sport and Racing\nSA_DEH\tSouth Australian Department of Environment and Heritage\nSA_DEWNR\tSouth Australian Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources\nF_SA\tForestry South Australia\nSCRC_QLD\tSunshine Coast Regional Council\nTAS_DPIPWE\tTasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment\nTAS_WPMT\tWellington Park Management Trust Tasmania\nTFN_VIC\tTrust for Nature (Victoria)\nTLC Inc_TAS\tTasmanian Land Conservancy Inc.\nTSRA\tTorres Strait Regional Authority\nTTTN\tThe Trustee for the Trust for Nature\nU.

G = Government, C = Community (conserved areas including indigenous peoples or local communities), J = Joint or P = Privately managed.\n\nENVIRON: A protected area gazetted as terrestrial may have a marine component and vice versa. A protected area can be 'T' terrestrial, marine 'M' and both 'B'. Terrestrial CAPAD 2014 contains 'T' and 'B'. Marine CAPAD 2014 contains 'M'.\n\nOVERLAP: Shows whether or not the protected area is overlapped by another. Protected areas with a value of '1' are the primary protected area in that area. A protected area with a value of '2' is completely overlapped by another protected area.\n\nX_COORD: is the longitude in decimal degrees east within the object closest to the centre of the object using the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994.\n\nY_COORD: is the latitude in decimal degrees south within the object closest to the centre of the object using the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994.\n\nMGT_PLAN: The code of the status of the management plan for the protected area.\n\nDefinitions Include:\nP - In Preparation - Some form of management document was being prepared.\nD - Draft - A draft management document was released for comment by the public, management board or equivalent.\nS - Statutory - Enabling legislation establishes the management of a protected area and separate management document is not required.\nI - Management Intent - A formal statement of management intent has been prepared that clearly sets out the management objectives for the protected area but includes little else.\nM - Management Plan - A formally adopted management plan that has been through consultation and contains strategies and actions for implementation for this protected area. \nR - Regional Plan - A formally adopted management plan has been through consultation and contains general strategies and actions for implementation over a group of protected areas.\nN - Unknown - No form of management document could be found.\n\nRES_NUMBER: The reserve number (if declared) as used by the controlling authority.\n\nOBJECTID *, Shape *, SHAPE.AREA and SHAPE.LEN are automatically generated ESRI attributesCC - Attribution (CC BY)\nThis dataset is available under the CC-BY data licencing model and users are required to acknowledge the Australian Government, Department of the Environment as the source of the data in any of their uses. When citing the data please use ‘Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database (CAPAD) 2014, Commonwealth of Australia 2014’.\nThe data is supplied to the Commonwealth for compilation by States and Territories of Australia and custodianship rests with the source agencies. A list of the agencies is available in the acknowledgements section of the metadata entry.\n \nThis CAPAD data has been supplied to the Commonwealth for compilation over a 3 month time frame and has taken several months to get to publication stage. Please note that the information supplied is not up-to-date at the time of publication and release by the Commonwealth.\n \nIt is the responsibility of the person using the CAPAD dataset to always check the metadata for the currency date within each jurisdiction and if required seek advice from the individual agencies on details of more recent gazettals of protected areas.\n \nDue to privacy issues in relation to some covenants on private lands, these data in some jurisdictions are not included in the spatial data, but are included in the published CAPAD summary statistics. The Department can advise in which bioregions this is likely to be an issue.

澳大利亚协同保护区数据库（CAPAD）2014版提供了澳大利亚大陆范围内政府、原住民及私人保护区的空间与文本信息。各州及领地的保护机构提供了截至2014年6月30日的最新数据。本数据库为第九版，此前版本分别于1997年、2000年、2002年、2004年、2006年、2008年、2010年及2012年发布。

IUCN：由管理机构指定的世界自然保护联盟（IUCN）保护区管理类别，详见出版物《保护区管理类别指南》（CNPPA/WCMC，1994年，Gland：IUCN，ISBN：2-8317-0201-1）。

定义包括：
IA 严格自然保护区——主要用于科学研究管理；
IB 荒野区——主要用于荒野保护管理；
II 国家公园——主要用于生态系统保护管理；
III 自然遗迹——主要用于特定自然特征保护管理；
IV 栖息地/物种管理区——主要通过管理干预进行保护；
V 保护景观/海景——主要用于景观/海景保护及游憩管理；
VI 资源管理保护区——主要用于自然生态系统可持续利用管理。

GAZ_AREA：提名文件（如议会公告）中描述的面积（单位：公顷），精确到最近的公顷。部分保护区在指定时无具体面积。

GIS_AREA：基于当前空间数据及澳大利亚阿尔伯斯等积投影计算的面积（单位：公顷）。若保护区由多个多边形（部分）组成，则GIS_AREA为所有同名、同类型、同州及同IUCN类别的多边形面积之和。本字段用于计算www.environment.gov.au/capad/网站表格中提供的统计数据。

REPT_AREA与GIS_AREA相同（此前REPT_AREA基于GAZ_AREA属性的公顷数，若该值为空则使用GIS_AREA；对于多记录的保护区，REPT_AREA通过将GAZ_AREA除以总GIS_AREA得到系数，再将该系数应用于记录的GIS_AREA计算得出）。由于并非所有接收数据均包含REPT_AREA，使用该字段进行分析存在不完整性与不一致性。

GAZ_DATE：首次公告或宣告在该地点设立保护区的日期。

LATEST_GAZ：最近一次公告或宣告将土地纳入保护区的日期，可与GAZ_AREA日期相同。

NRS_PA：该属性指示保护区作为国家保护区系统（NRS）组成部分的状态。"Y"=是（位于州及领地管辖范围内的保护区）；"I"=临时保护区——处于公告/设立过程中；"N"=否（不符合NRS标准的保护区）；"ND"=无数据（不符合NRS标准，但通过协同管理补充NRS的保护区）。

STATE：保护区所在的州/领地。EXT=位于澳大利亚海外领地的保护区。

AUTHORITY：负责保护区机制管理的机构。
