| Abstract: |
The enclosed map was developed by the Puerto Rico Gap Analysis Project (PRGAP) and displays the distribution of developed land cover in Puerto Rico. Developed land cover refers to urban, built-up and non-vegetated areas that result from human activity. These typically include built structures, concrete, asphalt, and other infrastructures. The developed land cover was created through remote sensing analysis of Landsat ETM+ satellite imagery ranging from the years 2000 to 2003. For these years Puerto Rico had 95 342 ha of developed lands, 11% of the country's surface, with most developments occurring in coastal plains and valleys. |
