LULC Raster and Polygon Intersect and Calculate areas for each type of LULC

ducksunlimited — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:27:52 GMT

Hello All,

I have a LULC raster layer and parcel polygon layer for our project area. I wanted to know the area and area percentage of each type of LULC within each polygon. Is there a tool or script already out there for this kind of purpose? If not, can you please tell me how I can achieve this such as python scirpting or geoprocessing model?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Russel

You can use the Zonal Tools in Spatial Analyst for this type of analysis. Specifically, Tabulate Area will calculate cross-tabulated areas between two datasets and outputs a table.
