Analysis of land use and land cover maps suitability for modeling population density of urban areas – redistribution to new spatial units based on CLC and UA databases

Abstract

The series of articles contains a comparison of the possibilities of using data from three sources for mapping people, with different spatial, thematic and time accuracy. These are data from Corine Land Cover (CLC) and Urban Atlas (UA) projects and the result of object classification (OBIA) of RapidEye data. The information on the existence of building zone included on the land use and land cover maps (LULC) constituted a limiting variable in the dasymetric method of population mapping. Categories related to building types allowed for the introduction of variable relationships, diversifying population density. These treatments enabled multi-variant development of maps of spatial population occurrence at a higher level than the original census units.
The experiment was carried out in the area of Krakow. Statistical data from 141 urban units (u.u.) of the city were used.  Generation of population maps was carried out in several variants. Divisions of buildings were made depending on its characteristicsand functions. The results of population conversion were analyzed on Central Statistical Office (hereafter referred as CSO, in Polish: GUS) data in a kilometer grid and on a specially prepared map of the population including a part of Krakow. The applied double verification allowed to rank the obtained population maps and provide border spatial accuracy of their cellular representation.
The first part of the cycle presents the state of knowledge about population mapping and population conversion using the dasymetric method. The area of research is described. Spatial and statistical data used in the research were characterized. Works related to population conversion based on CLC and UA were presented. Six maps of the population distribution of Krakow were obtained. A multi-variant process of recalculating and setting weights for various types of buildings is described by providing for urban units the values of RMSE and MAPE. Population using the surface-weight method based on UA data was considered the best (MAPE 66%, RMSE 3442 people/u.u.). On CLC data, these errors were: MAPE 168%, RMSE 5690 people/u.u.
In the subsequent parts of the cycle, the population conversion will be presented using object-oriented classification. The methodology for the verification of results will be described based on a photointepretation map of the population and the GUS perimeter grid. A discussion will be conducted related to the use of RMSE and MAPE measures. The ranking of methods and recommendations improving the results of population redistribution based on CLC, UA and OBIA will be given.
