Data from: VLUIS, a land use data product for Victoria, Australia, covering 2006 to 2013

Land Use Information is a key dataset required to enable an understanding of the changing nature of our landscapes and the associated influences on natural resources and regional communities. The Victorian Land Use Information System (VLUIS) data product has been created within the State Government of Victoria to support land use assessments. The project began in 2007 using stakeholder engagement to establish product requirements such as format, classification, frequency and spatial resolution. Its genesis is significantly different to traditional methods, incorporating data from a range of jurisdictions to develop land use information designed for regular on-going creation and consistency. Covering the entire landmass of Victoria, the dataset separately describes land tenure, land use and land cover. These variables are co-registered to a common spatial base (cadastral parcels) across the state for the period 2006 to 2013; biennially for land tenure and land use, and annually for land cover. Data is produced as a spatial GIS feature class.

土地利用信息是助力理解景观动态变化特征及其对自然资源与区域社区产生相关影响的核心数据集。维多利亚州土地利用信息系统（Victorian Land Use Information System，VLUIS）数据集产品由维多利亚州政府研发，旨在支撑土地利用评估工作。该项目于2007年启动，通过利益相关方参与确立了数据集的格式、分类体系、更新频率与空间分辨率等产品需求。其研发思路与传统方法截然不同：通过整合多辖区来源的数据，构建可定期持续更新且保持一致性的土地利用信息产品。该数据集覆盖维多利亚州全域陆地，分别对土地保有权（land tenure）、土地利用（land use）与土地覆被（land cover）进行描述。2006年至2013年期间，上述三类变量均协同配准至全州统一的空间基准（地籍宗地，cadastral parcels）；其中土地保有权与土地利用数据每两年更新一次，土地覆被数据则每年更新一次。数据集以地理信息系统（Geographic Information System，GIS）空间要素类的格式产出。
