  Land Use Map LUM 1990 2008 2012 2016 v002 Chatham Islands

The Chatham Islands Land Use Map is composed of 12 land use classifications nominally at 1 January 1990, 1 January 2008, 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2016 (known as "1990", "2008", "2012" and "2016") and was created using broadly the same methodology as was used for mainland LUCAS NZ LUM 2016. These date boundaries were dictated by the First and Second Commitment Periods of the Kyoto Protocol. The layer can therefore be used to create either a 1990, 2008, 2012 or 2016 land use map depending on what field is symbolised.

Purpose
LUM tracks and quantifies changes in New Zealand land use so that Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector carbon accounting can be calculated for national Net Position, Kyoto Protocol and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) reporting.

Statement

*1990 land use mapping*

The 1990 land-use map was derived from 15 m spatial resolution SPOT 1 satellite imagery taken between March and August 1989. In addition to orthorectification and atmospheric correction, the satellite images were standardised for spectral reflectance using the Ecosat algorithms documented in Dymond et al, (2001), Shepherd and Dymond (2003) and Dymond and Shepherd (2004). These standardised images were used for the automated mapping of woody biomass and the classification of woody land use classes. These land-use classes at 1990 included natural forest, pre-1990 planted forest and grassland with woody biomass.

This classification process was validated using 30 m resolution Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery acquired mid-2000.

To determine the spatial location of the other land-use classes as at 1990, 2008 and 2012, information from three land cover databases, LCDB1 (1996), LCDB2 (2001) (Thompson et al, 2004) and LCDB3 (2008), the New Zealand Land Resource Inventory (Eyles, 1977) and hydrological data from Land Information New Zealand were used (Shepherd and Newsome, 2009a,b).

The NZLRI database was used to better define the area of high and Low-producing grassland. Areas tagged as ‘improved pasture’ in the NZLRI vegetation records were classified as Grassland – high producing in the land-use maps. All other areas were classified as Grassland – low producing.

An interpretation guide for automated and visual interpretation was prepared and used so that all mapping processes were undertaken on a consistent basis (Ministry for the Environment, 2012). Independent quality control was undertaken for all mapping. This involved an independent agency looking at randomly-selected points across mainland New Zealand and using the same data as the original operator to decide what land use the point fell within. The two operators were in agreement at least ninety-five percent of the time.

*2008 land-use mapping*

The 2008 land-use map (land-use as at 1 January 2008) was derived from 10 m spatial resolution SPOT 5 satellite imagery which was processed into standardised reflectance images, using the same approach as for the 1990 imagery. The SPOT 5 imagery was taken September and October 2008. An earlier Landsat 7 scene taken January 2008 was used to supplement the SPOT 5 evidence.

*2012 land-use mapping*

SPOT 5 satellite imagery was again used in 2013 to create the 2012 land use map. This map was based on imagery acquired January 2012.

All imagery was pre-processed as for the 2008 map; however, in this instance, the 2008 and 2012 standardised imagery was then combined into an image stack in order to detect areas of change.

*2016 land-use mapping*

Sentinel 2 satellite imagery was used in 2018 to create the 2016 land use map. This map was based on imagery acquired December 2016 and February 2017.

All imagery was pre-processed and the 2012 (SPOT 5) and 2016 (Sentinel 2) standardised imagery was analysed in a stack to detect areas of change.

Note that improvements made to the mapping of high and low-producing grassland in the mainland NZ LUCAS LUM using data fusion techniques developed by Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research as part of the Innovative Data Analysis project (Manderson et al., 2018) could not be applied to the Chatham Islands mapping due to a lack of input evidence.
