SKEP Framework for Action 2002 (SKEP_Framework_for_planning.shp)
SKEP Framework for Planning. Combination of irreplaceability and vulnerability value per planning units. Irreplaceability captures the biodiversity significance
of each planning unit in terms of vegetation types and expert features. Vulnerability reflects the potential of future
transformation based on urban, crop, ostrich, and mining potential.

-
Combination of irreplaceability and vulnerability value per planning units. Irreplaceability captures the biodiversity significance of each planning unit in terms of vegetation types and expert features. Vulnerability reflects the potential of future transformation based on urban, crop, ostrich, and mining potential.
The Framework field in the dataset has the following meanings:
Combination of irreplaceability and vulnerability. Values from 1 to 6 characterise areas of low irreplaceability values (by increasing order of vulnerability; 1: none, 6: high vulnerability). Values from 11 to 15 characterise areas of medium irreplaceability values (by increasing order of vulnerability). Values from 101 to 105 characterise areas of high irreplaceability values (by increasing order of vulnerability)
The purpose of this data was to help in setting priority areas for conservation in the SKEP region.
Irreplaceability was calculated using C-Plan. Area-based targets were assigned for each biodiversity feature. Vulnerability was
developed using expert knowledge. Topology was checked using ARCINFO software.
