KZN 2005 land cover dataset version 3
The 2005 KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Land-Cover dataset is a geographically combined output of the previously released 2005 KZN Coastal Land-Cover dataset (see project report: KZN Coastal Land-Cover Mapping, 2006), and the follow-on KZN Interior Land-Cover dataset. The two land-cover datasets have been derived from equivalent SPOT2 & SPOT4 20 m imagery captured in 2005-06 and contain the same land-cover information classes and legend format.

Methodology:
This file represents second editorial improvements to the original KZN 2005 Land Cover Version 1 produced by GeoTerraImage - see KZN Province Land-Cover Mapping (From SPOT 2/4 Satellite Imagery 2005-06: Data Users Report and Metadata (version 2.0). This release has been created using time-stable components of the 2008 land-cover dataset to correct mapping errors identified within the 2005 dataset (Version 2) during compilation of the 2008 dataset (also available). These primarily relate to corrections associated with some of the natural vegetation classes, wetland areas and road and rail networks. This dataset is intended to replace the previous release of the 2005 KZN land-cover dataset (Version 2). The corrected 2005 land-cover dataset is based on the standard KZN landcover
legend. This coverage was clipped to reflect the KZN Provincial boundary as of 2008. This still incorporates the Matatiele region, though this is currently under dispute as to whether this is in fact part of the Eastern Cape.
This coverage is merely a grid conversion of the original KZN 2005 Land Cover Version 3
(kzn-2005-landcover-corrected-geographic-wgs84.img).
