This dataset was generated to publish a set of Land Use Land Cover (LULC) polygons to serve multiple management and planning needs at the Local, Regional or Statewide level, thereby providing a detailed dataset for further analysis within the state, including climate change, natural disasters, the effect of cultural and natural traits on vegetation, resource assessment, emergency response planning, fuel assessment, fire management planning, and other State management and conservation issues. The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), working through an existing contract with Whitman, Requardt & Associates, LLP (WRA), tasked Aerial Information Systems, Inc. (AIS) to update the state of Delaware’s existing 2012 GIS Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) and Impervious Surface (IS) datasets to 2017 conditions. In addition, New Castle County provided funding to map residential density classes for the County. |
