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.

土地利用信息是支撑理解地表景观动态变化及其对自然资源与区域社区产生关联影响的核心数据集。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开发，旨在为土地利用评估提供支撑。该项目于2007年启动，通过利益相关方参与的方式确定了数据集的格式、分类体系、更新频次与空间分辨率等产品需求。其开发理念与传统方法存在显著差异：通过整合多辖区的多源数据，打造可定期持续生成并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范围，分别对土地保有权（land tenure）、土地利用（land use）与土地覆被（land cover）三类要素进行描述。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GIS空间要素类（spatial GIS feature class）格式产出。
