Mapping of portions of land which have undergone human transformation: urbanised area, infrastructured surface, surface consumed reversibly.The data were produced from an automatic aggregation of elements derived from the BDTRE — Territorial Reference of the Entity Data Base and subsequent geographical processing (buffer). The polygons demarcating the areas consumed were then divided into the municipalities to allow statistical calculations at municipal and/or provincial level.In addition, they were cross-checked with the data from the land use capacity map to highlight consumption on areas belonging to the first three classes of use capacity.The data production methodology and the results of the monitoring are available in the document “Monitoring of Soil Consumption in Piedmont” — 2015 edition available at the URL https://www.regione.piemonte.it/territorio/dwd/documentazione/pianificazione/Monitoraggio_consumo_2015_Allegato_1%20.pdfTali data are related to the 2008 and 2013 surveys.The data are available by direct unloading of a single package (zip), consisting of shapefiles and tables up to the last edition of the historical series, to the end of the year.
