The amazonULC package aims to provide land cover classification maps
of Brazilian Amazonian cities. Land cover maps can contribute to urban
planning in Amazonian cities, with applications for monitoring urban
sprawl, environmental protection areas, assisting in urban zoning, and
identifying areas of high building density, among others. The
amazonULC provides a urban land cover classification for the cities of
Altamira, Cametá, Marabá, Santarém and part of the Metropolitan Area of
Belém, all in the state of Pará, Brazilian Legal Amazon.
The maps have the following land cover classes: “Shrub Vegetation” (SV), “Herbaceous Vegetation” (HV), “Water” (Wa), “Exposed Ground” (EG), “High Gloss Cover” (HG), “Ceramic Cover” (Ce), “Fiber Cement Cover” (FC), “Asphalt Road” (As), “Terrain Road” (Te), “Cloud” (Cl) and “Shadow” (Sh).
You can install the development version of amazonULC from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("dias-bruno/amazonULC")This is a basic example that shows you how to plot the map of the city of Altamira:
library(amazonULC)
library(ggplot2)
data(altamira_class)
altamira <- altamira_class
ggplot(data = altamira, aes(fill = CLASS)) + geom_sf()
