Title DESCRIPTION IMPORTANT ATTRIBUTES
Accessibility

Road Access rating based on distance from Main roads and Tracks

Slope Access rating based on the difficulty for forest access on steep slopes.
 
Biodiversity Biodiversity use by villagers through participatory mapping. For example, use of plants for medicinal purposes, non-timber forest products, and selective use of timber.

Bio_type is the biodiversity use information provided by villages

Date is the date of the survey
Commune Commune boundaries

Commune is the commune name
District is the district name
Total_pop is total population
Area_ha is area in hectares
Pop_dens is population density

Conservation Value The Conservation Value is based on an assessment conducted by the Green Corridor Project. Please refer to the Documents section of the Toolkit for more information.

CV_Class5 provides 5 classes of conservation value:  very high, high, medium, fair, and low
CV_Class3 provides 3 classes of conservation value:  high, medium, and low

Contours Contours, which have a 20 m elevation interval in most cases. Val is elevation is metres above sea level
Contours (Hong ha detailed) Detailed contours, which cover the majority of the area of Hong Ha. The contours do not exactly match the location of the TEK Hills data.  
Dams / reservoirs Three datasets showing the main dams in Thua Thien Hue  
District District boundaries Name is the district name
Elevation Elevation in metres above sea level. The format is a grid and the DEM was derived from the contours.  
Flagship Species

Flagship Species records based on surveys conducted as part of the Green Corridor Project. Please refer to the Documents section of the Toolkit for more information.

Flagship species rating for each commune, according to survey data and local knowledge

Critical – surveys indicate commune contains habitat critical for several flagship species
High - surveys indicate commune contains high priority habitat for several flagship species
Medium - surveys indicate commune is contains medium priority habitat for several flagship species
No data no survey data

Forest Classes Forest classes derived from SPOT imagery. The forest classification was produced as part of the EO-STEM Project in collaboration with FIPI, FIPG and FPD. Water
Rich Forest (FIPI class IIIA3 and IV)
Medium Forest (FIPI class IIIA)
Poor Forest (FIPI class IIIA1)
Regenerating Forest (FIPI Class II and 1C)
Plantation / logging
Non-forest
Forest Integrity

Distance to Major Rivers rating based on a simple distance threshold.
Forest Elevation rating based on the priority for forest conservation.
Forest Cover – percent forest cover, based on analysis of medium and rich forest cover.

 
Forest Quality - Forest classification produced as part of the EO-STEM Project in collaboration with FIPI, FIPG and FPD. Rich Forest (FIPI class IIIA3 and IV)
Medium Forest (FIPI class IIIA)
Poor Forest (FIPI class IIIA1)

Regenerating Forest (FIPI Class II and 1C)
Forest Quality Forest quality in terms of FIPI Forest classes. The forest classification was produced as part of the EO-STEM Project in collaboration with FIPI, FIPG and FPD. Please refer to the Documents section of the Toolkit for more information. Rich Forest (FIPI class IIIA3 and IV)
Medium Forest
(FIPI class IIIA)
Poor Forest
(FIPI class IIIA1)
Regenerating Forest
(FIPI Class II and 1C)
Forest Sector Forest Sector. This is a generalized data set, and the boundaries match the commune boundaries. TK is the Forest Sector
Forest Subsector Forest Sub-sector. This is a detailed data set, and the boundaries do not match the other boundaries because the scale of the data is different. TK is the Forest Sector
KH is the Forest Sub-sector
Forest Surveys Waypoints and Tracks from two forest surveys conducted as part of the EO-STEM Project. A guide to field data collection is included in the Documents section of the toolkit.  
Green Corridor Boundary of Green Corridor Project Area  
Hillshade Hill shade shows the topography, and was derived from the elevation data.  
Hydrology Two datasets showing rivers, streams, and lakes.  
Protected Area Protected area boundaries in Thua Thien Hue Province. AreanamePl is the name of the protected area
Roads Main roads and smaller roads. Type_new is a classification of Main roads and tracks
Slope Slope in degrees. The format is a grid.  
Social Population density for each commune, based on Provincial Statistics provided to the Green Corridor Project. Pop_dens is population density
Soils Soil types, identified through participatory mapping. soil_type is the soil type information provided by villages
Date
is the date of the survey
Sub-sector Forest Type

Forest type for each Forest Sub-sector. Each Forest Sub-Sector can have more than one Forest Type, but usually there is a dominant forest type; for example a Protection Sub-sector may have a small area of production forest.

Some Forest Sectors are not planned for forestry and do not have a forest type. There are some Forest Sub-sectors that have no data.

TK is the Forest Sector
KH
is the Forest Sub-sector
AreaDD
is the area in hectares of Special Use Forest calculated from the spreadsheet.
AreaKhac
is the area in hectares of Other Land calculated from the spreadsheet.
AreaPH
is the area in hectares of Protection Forest calculated from the spreadsheet.
AreaSX
is the area in hectares of Production Forest calculated from the spreadsheet.
DOMFT
is the dominant forest type, for map display purposes.
Sub-Sector Protection Status Forest protection level for each Forest Sub-sector. Forest Sub-Sectors have a protection level, which is related to watershed protection. Most sectors have only one protection level; some Sub-sector have multiple protection levels. TK is the Forest Sector
KH
is the Forest Sub-sector
Protect_ST
is the protection level code from the spreadsheet:
- RXY
- Very critical
- XY
- Critical
- IXY
- Less critical
- Multi
– More than one type of protection level

In some cases, DD, PH and SX may appear as part of the protection level code.
TEK Streams and River Streams identified on 1:5,000 and 1:10,000 topographic maps through participatory mapping. Name is the name of the stream or river in English
TEK Hills Hills identified on 1:5,000 and 1:10,000 topographic maps through participatory mapping. Name is the name of the hill in English
Names_viet
is the name of the hill in Vietnamese
Thua Thien Hue Province Boundary of Thua Thien Hue Province  
Vegetation Index Classes The landscape is classified based on the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). High, Medium, and Low
Vegetation Index NDVI calculated on the Near-infrared and Red bands of the SPOT image. See the glossary for more information.
