Inspire WMS Service Land Use Tyrol

Based on the results of the research project Land Information System Austria LISA (cf. LISA 2014), the current use of land for Tyrol is being prepared on behalf of the Tyrolean state government. The land uses are derived from existing public spatial data of the Tyrolean spatial information system tiris. The aim is to provide a digital, homogeneous, quality-controlled and up-to-date land monitoring dataset. Lisa distinguishes between two sets of classes: Land cover and land use. The ground cover reflects the actual state of the terrain surface and is generated exclusively from remote sensing data. Land use, on the other hand, focuses on the actual, human-influenced or caused use aspect of the Earth’s surface. The land use dataset is divided into six main classes, which are referred to as blocks: Settlement, traffic, agriculture, forest, natural areas and waters. Land use is assigned to the INSPIRE data topic Land Use (Annex III)
