Description: <abstract>Landscape is a precious national asset. County Galway is richly endowed with a variety of landscape types ranging from the quartzite mountain ranges and blanket bogs of Conamara to the fertile patchwork of farmland in east Galway and the bare karst pavements of the Aran Islands and South Galway. Human interaction with the natural heritage has produced a great variety of characteristic landscapes and landscape features. The natural diversity of the landscapes of the County coupled with built and cultural heritage features has given the County its distinctive character. The increasing development pressure of recent years has caused changes in the national landscape, which are unprecedented in scale and nature, and has led to the Government setting out guidelines for landscape appraisal. This assessment of the landscape is to ensure that “the environment and heritage generally are maintained in a sustainable manner, while at the same time enabling a proactive approach to development”.</abstract>

This assessment was prepared in accordance with the Government’s Draft Guidelines for Landscape and Landscape Assessment (2000), the aim of which is to: Heighten awareness of the importance of landscape in all aspects of physical planning; Provide guidance to planners and others, as to how to deal with landscape considerations; Indicate specific requirements for development plans and for development controls. In all, 9 Landscape Character Areas were identified in County Louth.</abstract>

Description: <abstract>Landscape Character Types in Roscommon County. Landscape Character Types are distinct landscapes that are relatively homogeneous in character. They are generic in nature in that they may occur in different areas in different parts of the country, but wherever they occur they broadly share similar combinations of geology, topography, drainage patterns, vegetation, historical land use and settlement pattern. For example drumlins and mountain moorlands are recognisable and distinct.</abstract>

Display Field: LANDSCAPE_
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: <abstract>The LCA prepared for the Wexford County Development Plan 2007-2013 was prepared with regard to these guidelines following an objective assessment of: physical attributes, for example, topography, ridge lines, slope, altitude and coast sensitivity to development; geology and soils; vegetation and land cover; settlement patterns; historical activity. The number of landscape character units has been reduced from 11 to four. This was achieved by combining units which have broadly similar physical characteristics and sensitivity to development. The four landscape character units are: (1) Uplands (2) Lowlands (3) River Valleys (4) Coastal.</abstract>

Description: <abstract>Northern Ireland has a great variety of scenic countryside and although there are no National Parks, large areas of landscape of distinctive character and special scenic value have been designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs). In Northern Ireland AONBs are designated under the Amenity Lands Act (Northern Ireland) 1965 and the Nature Conservation and Amenity Lands (Northern Ireland) Order 1985.</abstract>

Description: <abstract>The Northern Ireland Landscape Character Assessment subdivided the countryside into 130 Landscape Character Areas (LCAs), each based upon local patterns of geology, landform, land use, cultural and ecological features. For each LCA, the key characteristics were described and an analysis of landscape condition and its sensitivity to change was made.</abstract>

Description: This folder contains datasets, compiled or commissioned by the Environmental Protection Agency, identifying Ireland’s land-cover at a 25ha scale (1:100,000) and land-cover change over time at a scale of greater than 5ha.
Description: <abstract>Corine Land Cover Dataset: The CLC1990 (Ireland) database was the first complete land cover database produced for the Ireland. A number of these land cover classes were further subdivided to address particular national needs and conditions. The first CORINE release - CLC1990 - was undertaken as a cross-border initiative by the Ordnance Survey of Ireland and the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland. The aim was to produce a land cover map for the entire island of Ireland. The land cover database was based on the interpretation of satellite images for 1989 and 1990, with land cover types in 44 standard classes. The map was created in GIS ARC/INFO format, at an original scale of 1:100,000, which was consistent and comparable with similar land cover databases in other European countries.</abstract>

Description: Corine Land Cover Dataset:
The CLC1990 (Ireland) database was the first complete land cover database produced for the Ireland. The development of this database was based on the visual interpretation of satellite imagery (for 1989 and 1990) and the allocation of land cover types to one of 35 standard land cover classes. A number of these land cover classes were further subdivided to address particular national needs and conditions. The 1990 dataset has Level 3 and level 4 codes. The level 4 codes provide greater Land Cover resolution on Bogs in Ireland.

Description: <abstract>Corine 2000 Revised Level 3. The CLC database was updated in the year 2000. This update facilitated an assessment of land use change in Ireland between 1990 and 2000. The CLC2000 project involved the assessment and correction of the CLC1990 land cover database and satellite images for geometric and thematic content, followed by mapping of land cover changes using year 2000 satellite imagery and ancillary data. Revision of CLC2000 was required to delineate changes accurately during production of CLC2006. Corine Land Cover (CLC) is a map of the European environmental landscape based on interpretation of satellite images. The CLC2000 database was created by first assessing and correcting the existing CLC1990 land cover database and images for geometric and thematic content, then land cover changes were mapped using 2000 satellite imagery and ancillary data. The 2000 CORINE update was managed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Ireland.</abstract>

Description: <abstract>During the production of CORINE 2012, a new, semi-automated production methodology was designed and implemented by the Irish CORINE team. This approach utilised national in-situ geo-spatial information on agriculture, forestry and water bodies from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM), the Forest Service, Coillte and the EPA. These data sources were used alongside remote sensing based interpretation of satellite imagery to extensively revise the 2006 CORINE dataset, improving the spatial delineation (boundaries) of landcover features and also their internal thematic classification. The 2006-2012 change dataset then mapped any changes > 5ha within the reference period of 2006-2012, also making use of up to-date national in-situ vector data. The change dataset was integrated into the revised 2006 dataset to produce the new 2012 landcover ‘update’ dataset. By revising the 2006 dataset first then mapping changes on from this dataset, accurate statistics on landcover change were produced whilst at the same time ensuring that revisions undertaken on the 2006 dataset were carried through to the 2012 dataset.</abstract>

Description: <abstract>From 2006 to 2012 the main landcover type change was afforestation (planting of forestry on previously un-forested land). This accounted for a 0.13% increase in the national area covered by forestry. Afforestation took place on agricultural and peatland areas, resulting in a 0.12% and 0.04% respective reduction in these landcover types nationally. In the same period the rate of increase in artificial areas reduced markedly down to just 0.04% of the national area. There was minimal new construction but there was significant completion of existing construction sites, in particular the completion of motorways (3,295 ha). Apart from these ‘cross-type’ changes, the change statistics were dominated by cyclical land management practises such as arable-pasture rotation (38.45% of total change) or clearfelling and re-planting of forestry (37.61% of total change). Whilst these changes are within their respective Level 1 landcover categories, they are still significant for applications such as greenhouse gas emissions analysis.</abstract>
