Victorian Land Use Information System 2016-2017

The Victorian Land Use Information System (VLUIS) 2016/17 dataset has been created by the Spatial Information Sciences Group of the Agriculture Victoria Research in the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport, and Resources. It covers the entire landmass of Victoria and separately describes the land tenure, land use and land cover across the state at the cadastral parcel level.The methodology for creating the VLUIS is described in Morse-McNabb et al. (2015) with the following notable changes:1. Land use data provided by the Office of the Valuer-General of Victoria for the 2014 year has been used as a base input. Readily available sources of land use information from government and industry have been used to provide updates to the land tenure and land use components of the 2016/17 dataset. The source dataset and source date are recorded for each parcel. The land cover mapping method remains unchanged to previous versions of the VLUIS.2. The Australian Land Use and Management (ALUM) Classification, version 8, has been added to the attribute table. The VLUIS land use code fields have been translated across to the ALUM classification. Version 8 has been used you can find the ALUM Classification on the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources ABARES ALUM page: http://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/aclump/land-use/alum-classification. 3. Land parcels within urban areas, mapped in previous versions, have been masked out and have been renamed as Built Up Areas vastly reducing the size of the 2016/17 dataset. Land cover for Built Up Areas (LC_CODE = BUILT) is listed as null.4. Road reserves and road parcels have been merged together and renamed Voids. Land cover for Voids (LC_CODE = VOID) is listed as null.5. Parcels

维多利亚州土地利用信息系统（Victorian Land Use Information System, VLUIS）2016/17年度数据集由经济发展、就业、交通与资源部下属的维多利亚农业研究局空间信息科学小组编制。该数据集覆盖维多利亚州全域，以地籍宗地为基本单元，分别描述了全州范围内的土地保有权、土地利用与土地覆被状况。
VLUIS的编制方法详见Morse-McNabb等人（2015）的研究成果，本次版本存在如下显著更新：
1. 以维多利亚州估价总长办公室2014年提供的土地利用数据作为基础输入，并通过政府与行业公开可得的土地利用信息源，对2016/17年度数据集的土地保有权与土地利用模块进行更新。每条宗地的源数据集与源数据日期均已完成记录。土地覆被制图方法沿用VLUIS过往版本的既定方案。
2. 新增澳大利亚土地利用与管理（Australian Land Use and Management, ALUM）分类体系第8版至属性表中，将VLUIS原有土地利用代码字段映射至ALUM分类体系。本次版本采用第8版分类体系，该分类体系可通过澳大利亚农业与水资源部ABARES的ALUM页面获取：http://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/aclump/land-use/alum-classification。
3. 过往版本中已标注的城区内地块已被掩膜剔除，并重新命名为「建成区」，此举大幅缩减了2016/17年度数据集的体量。建成区的土地覆被代码（LC_CODE = BUILT）标注为空值。
4. 道路预留地与道路宗地已完成合并，并重新命名为「空地（Voids）」，其土地覆被代码（LC_CODE = VOID）标注为空值。
5. 宗地
