Purpose

The CORINE Land Cover 2012 Belgium data set has been produced within the framework of the CORINE Land Cover 2012 project, which is managed by the European Environment Agency. The aim of this agency is to produce a complete soil use cover for 38 European countries. This product is regarded as the third update of the CORINE Land Cover 1995 data set. The previous updates took place in 2000 and 2006. The CORINE Land Cover data set is intended for environment management at European level.

CORINE Land Cover 2012 Belgium

Statement

The data set contains two polygonal layers: CLC2012 and CHA12_BE.

The CLC2012 layer has been produced by making the intersection between the revised CORINE Land Cover 2006 layer and the layer with changes between 2006 and 2012 (CHA12_BE).

The CHA12_BE layer has been produced by a visual comparison of the i2006 and i2012 images, SPOT/IRS and SPOT/IRS images respectively which cover Belgium. The topographic maps at the 1:10 000 and 1:50 000 scales and orthophotographs have been used as additional data.

Description

Correction of some flagrant errors in the CORINE Land Cover 2006 data set.
