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.

This was derived from the grid version of the KZN 2008 Land-cover Version 1 as produced by GeoTerraImage. This is a binary ArcView grid indicating areas transformed and untransformed (natural). The categories selected for transformed/untransformed are listed in the “How the 2008 V1 LC was reclassified” text file.
