The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) compiled inventories of generalized land use in 1971, 1975, 1980, 1986, 1990, and 1995. In addition to tracking the changes in land use over time, these inventories are used in conjunction with other databases for many types of projects, such as General and Community Plan updates and transportation modeling efforts.
The 1995 Land Use Inventory used technology from the 1990 inventory as well as new technology. Prior to the 1995 inventories, the land ownership database was developed separately from the land use database. Alignment to the San GIS Land Base (lots and Parcels) improved the spatial accuracy of the 1990 data and allowed consistent updates of the data through time and between existing layers (1990 and 1995 land use, ownership, and planned land use).
As in 1990, the 1995 land use inventory used multidate satellite imagery change detection procedures to update the previous land use database. This technology was used to highlight areas that had changed physically between 1990 and 1995. Access to other detailed digital databases also enhanced the accuracy of this project. Digital orthophoto imagery allowed refinements to the database via aerial reconnaissance of urban areas of the City of San Diego. Other digital databases such as Thomas Brothers and local jurisdiction inputs also greatly improved the accuracy of detail of the land use and ownership databases.
Several sources were used to identify and verify land use designations. By obtaining the assessor's parcel number (APN) of parcels from the SanGIS Landbase file, the country tax assessor's master property record file could be cross-referenced. This SanGIS file contains a land use code that assisted in identifying land uses. Secondary sources, such as the telephone book, the Haines Directory, the Ariel Foto-Map were also used to verify land use descriptions. In 1998, the City of San Diego Planing Department updated the land use inventory.
Four sources were used to create the data layers in the International Border Planing Area Atlas: The San Diego Geographic Information Source (SanGIS); San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG); San Diego State Department of Geography (SDSU); Tijuana's Municipal Planing Institute (IMPlan). The original sources of the data layers are noted below.
SanGIS and SANDAG developed and maintain data layers using the California State Plane Coordinate System (feet), Zone VI, North American Datum 83 (NAD83). SDSU uses the Universal Transverse Mercator (meters), Zone 11, IMPlan uses the Universal Transverse Mercator (meters), Zone 11, NAD27. SanGIS, SANDAG, and SDSU use the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcInfo and ArcView software. IMPlan uses ArcView.
The geoprocessing for each layer depended upon the data type, either point, line, or polygon. Most of the Processing was done at SANDAG. The process for the layers south of the border included the following: converting AutoCAD drawings to ArcView shape files; converting shape files to ArcInfo coverages; converting coverages to state plane coordinates; and clipping coverages to the study area boundary. The process for the layers north of the border simply required clipping the coverages to the study area boundary. The north and south coverages were joined. For polygons and lines, manual edits using ArcEdit were done to fix any gaps or overlaps along the border. The coverages were then converted to UTM NAD83.
Once the coverages were completed by SANDAG, they were transferred to the San Diego State University Department of Geography for map rendering. The ArcInfo coverages were converted to ArcView Shapefiles and imported into Macromedia FreeHand through MaPublisher, a third party software produced by Avenza Corporation, which allows GIS attributes to be directly queried in the drawing program. Once the final page was size was determined, map design and symbolization proceeded through numerous iterations until the final maps were approved.
