The Florida Landuse Import was completed on the 4th of January 2024
The Florida Landuse Import is an import of the landuse dataset by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection which covers all landuses in Florida.
Goals
Fill Florida with high-quality landcover/landuse data.
Import Data
Background
Data source site: https://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/datasets/FDEP::current-landuse-landscape-support-index-lsi/about
Data license: Public domain
ODbL Compliance verified: yes
The dataset was created in 2017, the data is thus pretty up-to-date. Some areas are even newer, with up to 2019.
Import Type
- I import the data from the processed .osm file on a countywide scale. For the objects in the table below with extra notes for review, I look at these with extra scrutiny. SherbetS (talk) 02:10, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Public Comment and Testing Periods
Changeset got a lot of flak when Hiausirg initially posted to mailing list and OSMUS slack around February 2022[1], Approval was received on the mailing list August 2022. [2]

Data Transformation
Making your data file
The first step in working with the data is downloading the data from FDEP and translating the tags to OpenStreetMap.
- Download dataset.
- Load shapefile into QGIS.
- Use the field calculator to translate the FDEP number codes into the corresponding OpenStreetMap tags laid out on the table above.
- Save the file to your computer. I recommend making a folder for your Florida data and creating subfolders for each county that you import.
Loading OpenStreetMap data
Be sure to download your data the same day that you plan to upload. If your data isn't fresh, there can be mismatches between what's on OSM and what's imported.
- Open JOSM. you will be downloading all the OpenStreetMap data you'll need for conflation here.
- Start by downloading the county boundary as a geojson. I normally make a small bbox around one node of the boundary way, and download the relation + members.
- Close and reopen the geojson, combine all ways into a single way, make sure the boundary line is the only data loaded, save the file
- Using this query download all main road highways into JOSM
- using the search tool, select all highway=residential and highway=unclassified roads. Using your discretion, remove city roads from your selection and only purge the rural roads from your file. This minimizes the quality lost due to poor quality road data.
- Select a way, press ctl+shift+E several times to select all connected roads. Invert selection and unselect nodes to select all ways that are not connected, then delete.
- Save your highway file as a geojson in your county project folder.
- Download this query into a new layer
- Go through the objects, delete anything that has bad geometry or would detract from the quality of the import. Most objects without a name are safe to delete since they don't provide any special metadata. The exception to this is basin retention ponds which should not be deleted.
- Find businesses mistakenly tagged to landuse objects. an example would be a McDonald's tagged on a landuse=retail object or a factory tagged on a landuse=industrial object, move the data to a node representing the business and delete the landuse object. If you can't change the data from the landuse for any reason, the landuse should be left to be included in the final file.
- Once you've finished deleting and modifying objects, upload the data to the OpenStreetMap server using your main account, then delete the data layer.
- Wait a few minutes for the overpass server to update, then run this query in JOSM.
- purge any building=*.
- Split any extra large areas (greater than 500 nodes) into smaller chunks and save as your landuse geojson
Preparing data for import
- Open QGIS.
- Load the prepared data file you've made from the FDEP data plus the data you've prepared from the county you're working on
- Use the lines to polygons function on the boundary line to create a polygon. Use the polygon to cut out the data using the clip function
- Use the buffer tool to create a 0.00003 degree wide buffer around the boundary, and use the difference tool to crop the boundary buffer out of the landuse file.
- Next, create a buffer around the roads, configuring the settings to set a buffer of 0.000035, square ends, and bevel corners. run the difference algorithm on the data with the road buffer.
- Create a 0.00003 degree buffer around the landuse area extract, use the difference tool to crop out of the file.
- Save the conflated data as a shapefile, then open in JOSM.
Final JOSM Instructions
- After loading the file, use the search function to select all objects with 'areasize:-750', then remove from the selection all 'role:inner', then delete selection.
- Run the validator. Solve all issues except water area inside water area. (glitched warning)
- Use the search tool to find all cemeteries. Delete any cemetery if the cemetery already existed on OSM, or correct tagging if church is present.
- Delete any extra small objects that surround the landuse data you clipped. For example, the import might have small chunks of reservoir next to the actual OSM object.
- Correct the tags cut off by the shapefile. (residentia=* >> residential=* intermitte=* >> intermittent=*)
- Upload data to OSM server. Use import account + the changeset tags above.
Data Transformation Results
- https://cloud.disroot.org/s/dGoZMaTbnJ3di5K - This is the final processed file created after 'Making your data file' was complete.
- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kw76oj9sWAqe6HXFow5yuo4btkdFWZvO/view?usp=sharing - This is an old file and should not be seen as reflective of the quality of the rest of the import.
