Generalized Land Use 1984

Contains the 1984 General Land Use Map (GLUM), which identifies high-level, general land uses across the Region of Peel in polygon format along with associated land use attributes. The GLUM assigns a broad category to all lands within the Region, thereby identifying trends and patterns in land uses. Updated in July 2014 with polygons split by current municipality boundaries and with topology checked and fixed. Field names were also changed to align with more recent names, although the classification scheme was not. Landsat 5 multispectral (true colour) imagery was used for the update of the dataset. The imagery has a spectral resolution of 30 metres. The acquisition date was 1984-09-17. Data Comparison The Generalized Land Use (GLU) before 2009 use different base data and classification schemes and shouldn't be directly compared to the newer years. For comparison purposes in cartography, it will provide a general picture of land consumption through the decades that may be useful.
