Urbanised, suburban and rural Flanders, classification based on statistical sectors – status 2013

This dataset contains the digital vectorial version of all the plan elements – indicative of the type of points – of the regional spatial implementation plans, both the final approved and those in formatting. The suspensions and destructions of the Council of State are also included. A plan element is an object by which the government concerned reflects on the graphic plan the scope of (part of) the spatial option it has taken on the basis of certain urban planning regulations, if it considers it necessary. This object can always be conceptually traced back to a plane, line or point, to which a certain legend symbol has been assigned. To ensure the link between a “location” and the “full set of regulations that apply in that location”, it is necessary to unravel a plan in some complementary vector-format geodata layers. In this way, we obtain a clear link between prescription texts and their accompanying plan elements. Rules linked to linear or point shaped plan elements, unlike those linked to planes, can never cover underlying plan elements in the sense that they replace them. In a plan, urban planning regulations can be added that apply to an area, line or place that the planner does not want to determine geometrically accurate. These are the so-called indicative indications. There are three types of indicative indications: points, lines and overprints.
