Which information can I find here?
The land use / cover area frame survey (LUCAS) is an in-situ survey. It provides detailed information on specific points as well as harmonised and comparable statistics on land use and land cover for the EU territory.
3 types of information are obtained from LUCAS surveys:
- microdata: land cover, land use, and environmental parameters associated with the individual points surveyed
- point and landscape photos in the 4 cardinal directions
- estimates on land cover and land use, which are produced from microdata based on weighted point data.
