1 Requirements for Land Cover Standard from the Perspective of Implementation in China ZHOU Xu National Geomatics Center of China

2 Contents 1. Background 2. The LC Classification System 3. The Implementation

3 1 Background With accelerated industrialization and urbanization, we face more rigorous ecological and environmental pressure and greater demand from the people to protect the environment and treat pollution. Resource conservation and environmental protection have become China s basic national policy. The government gives prominence to ecological situation and set the goal to build a resource conserving and environmentally friendly society and a beautiful China. To take practical action, We need high quality and detailed data to identify problems and find the way to fix the problems.

4 1 Background Forestry Administration dynamic monitoring and evaluation of forest resources; management of forestland and forest ownership; supervising acquisition, occupation and development & utilization of forestland managing state-owned forest resources Environmental protection Guide, coordinate and supervise ecological conservation Guide, coordinate and supervise the environmental protection of various kinds of nature reserves, scenic spots and forest parks; coordinate and supervise such activities as conservation of wildlife, wetland environmental protection and prevention and control of desertification. Coordinate and guide eco environment protection in rural areas, supervise environmental safety of biotechnology; Water Resources water resources management and supervision, to ensure water resources are rationally developed and utilized Take charge of water resource protection flood control and drought relief soil and water losses control water facilities construction and management

5 1 Background Land and Resources To develop policies and regulations concerning cultivated land, especially those that protect and encourage the development of cultivated land ; to enforce the control over the different purposes of land used for agriculture; to organize the protection of capital farmland ; to administrate and supervise the development of unused land and cultivated land, land revitalization and reclamation so as to ensure the increase instead of decrease of cultivated land ; Agriculture To organize the zoning of agricultural resources, ecological agriculture and sustainable agricultural development; to guide the exploitation of agricultural land, fishery waters, grasslands, shoals and swamps suitable for agricultural purposes.

6 Why not use existing Land use data? About the 2 nd National Land Survey Started: July,1, 2007 Cut-off time: Dec,31,2009 Result released : 30 December 2013 Updated annually

7 Difference between LC and LU Different concept LC: put focus on the physical nature of the earth surface LU: put focus on the social nature of the land Climate Change Natural duration gradual Land Cover Type 3 change Physical System sudden Land Cover Type 1 Land Cover Type 2 Driving Forces Impacts from environment Driving Forces Social Environment Land Use Type 1 Land Cover Type 4

8 Why not use existing Land use data? LU is the direct driving force for LC changes, and LC is the result of LU LC data reflects the current status of physical environment Different method of identifying parcels LU: onsite investigation is required LC: more easy to be monitored by remote sensing method

9 Requirement of LC data LU data can not always meet the needs, especial for ecological issues. Carbon Sinks Evaluation Eco-system protection evaluation A high resolution LC data covering the whole country was not exist in China.

10 2. The Classification System

11 Existing Land Cover Classification work Land Use Classification System land cover classification scheme used by some projects of environment protect, forestry, agriculture and land management sectors. FAO:LCCS European CORINE land cover classification system USGS land use and land cover classification system Global Land Cover Project Conducted by China Others Problems: Based on 30 meters or lower resolution imagery data Used for a local area or the classification system is not detailed enough A commonly used system for the whole country is in need. 11

12 Requirements for a LCC system of China The wide geographic coverage, varied physical environment How to decide the scale or minimal parcel size According to the most used display devices, use 20*20 pixel (equivalent to 5mm*5mm) as the minimal parcel size Monitoring oriented or general investigation oriented Monitoring takes snap shot, general investigation cares the average state which need multi-temporal information to detect Feasibility of quality control The classification system item is identifiable not only for data acquisition but also for quality control Cost for time and financial investment All work must be finished before the deadline with high-quality result Others:quality of imagery data: cloud or snow cover, poor coverage, different resolution, different photo time and varied remote sensing platform and so on. 12

13 Pre-conditions for the LCC system With ISO /2 as a guide, we set pre-conditions as: 1. Use the identifiable natural features of the objects as classification criteria. 2. Use images which resolution is better than 5m as data source, usually better than 2m even 1m. 3. Reduce the reliability on multi-temporal imagery. 4. Most of 1 st -2 nd level class items could be identified from remote sensing imagery data in office by skilled operators, only for some 3 rd level class items need necessary further field check 5. Provide interface for sectors existing specifications 13
