Long-term spatially explicit information on land use 1830-1960-2015: Case study of the municipalities Waidhofen/Ybbs and Paldau, Austria
Description
The dataset contains historical land use/land cover (LULC) pattern for the Austrian municipalities Waidhofen/Ybbs (Lower Austria) and Paldau (Styria). Three time cuts comprising nearly 200 years were digitized using various spatial data sources:
- 1820: Maps of Franciscan Cadastre
- 1960: Aerial photographs
- 2015: Aerial orthophotos combined with IACS (Integrated Administration and Control System)
The dataset consistently discerns four LULC categories (forest land, cropland, grassland, and “settlement and other”) and provides additional information on biomass extraction.
The following files are available:

- Paldau.zip: Spatial data of Paldau, Styria
Notes
The data was created within the Integrating Land Use Legacies in Landslide Risk Assessment to Support Spatial Panning (ILLAS) project funded by the Austrian Climate Research Program (ACRP), grant number ACRP9-ILLAS-KR16AC0K13226. The contribution of S. Gingrich was also financially supported by the European Research Council (ERC-2017-StG 757995 HEFT).
