Agricultural Security Areas

This GIS layer represents the geographic boundaries of Agricultural Security Areas (ASAs) within York County, Pennsylvania, which are designated regions within a municipality where agriculture is encouraged and protected. ASAs are established under state or local legislation to promote the continued use of farmland for agricultural production and to limit non-agricultural development that may negatively impact farming operations. This dataset includes spatial information such as parcel boundaries, ASA designations, and associated attributes (e.g., approval dates, municipalities, landowner participation). The layer supports land use planning, farmland preservation initiatives, and policy development by providing critical spatial context for assessing agricultural viability and development pressures.本GIS图层展示了宾夕法尼亚州约克郡内的农业安全区（Agricultural Security Areas, ASAs）地理边界，此类区域为市镇范围内划定的、旨在鼓励与保护农业发展的特定区域。农业安全区依据州级或地方立法设立，旨在推动农田持续用于农业生产，并限制可能对农业生产造成负面影响的非农开发活动。本数据集包含宗地边界、农业安全区划定信息及相关属性数据（如审批日期、所属市镇、土地所有者参与情况等）。该图层可为评估农业生产可行性与开发压力提供关键空间背景信息，助力土地利用规划、农田保护举措及政策制定工作。
