Other(s)

This datatset contains a land use classification of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) at the street block level. It was created following the methodology presented in [1].

Description of the files:

• "Ouagadougou_landuse.gpkg" : GeoPackage with two layers: (1) layer of the street blocks extracted from OpenStreetMap using [2] with classification results in the attribute table. (2) layer with manual correction made by GEORGANOS Stefanos (sgeorganos@ulb.ac.be).
• "Ouagadougou_landuse_style_QGIS.zip" : Files for style for rendering in QGIS.

Attribute table content:

• "CAT", "GID" : ID of the street block
• "PROB_ACS" : Probability to belong to class ACS
• "PROB_BARE" : Probability to belong to class BARE
• "PROB_PLAN" : Probability to belong to class PLAN
• "PROB_UNPLA" : Probability to belong to class UNPLAN
• "PROB_VEG" : Probability to belong to class VEG
• "FIRST_LABE" : Class with the highest classification probability
• "SEC_LABEL" : Class with the second highest classification probability
• "FIRST_PROB" : Value of the highest classification probability
• "SEC_PROB" : Value of the second highest classification probability
• "UNCERTAIN" : Difference between "FIRST_PROB" and "SEC_PROB"
• "BUILT_PERC" : Percentage of the street blocks covered by built-up (from land cover map)
• "MAP_LABEL" : Final classification label with uncertainty and different density classes. Depending on the layer, the label is with or without manual corrections

Legend classes label:

• "VEG" : Vegetation
• "BARE" : Bare soils
• "ACS" : Non-residential built-up (administrative, commercial, services, etc.)
• "PLAN" : Planned residential built-up
• "PLAN_LD" : Planned residential low density built-up
• "UNPLAN" : Unplanned residential built-up
• "UNPLAN_LD" : Unplanned residential low density built-up
• "UNCERT" : Uncertain classification
• "WET" : Wetlands
• "AGRI" : Agricultural land
