Try this workflow:Add a field ORIG_AREA of type Double to your buff_water. In the attribute table, right-click on ORIG_AREA and select Field Calculator. Set ORIG_AERA equal to Shape_Area. I'm making a duplicate of the Shape area for use in a later step.Use Make Feature Layer to make a layer from your vegetation polygons (even if you are in ArcMap). Pay special attention to Field Info parameter and don't forget to check mark the Use Ratio Policy for Shape field (see screenshot below). Name the output as vegetation_Layer.[ATTACH=CONFIG]15119[/ATTACH]Run Clip tool with with buff_water as input and vegetation_Layer as clip features. Name the output of Clip as buff_water_Clip. This output will look like vegetation layer but will contain attributes of buff_water.Add a field VEG_RATIO of type Double to buff_water_Clip. This field will contain the percentage of vegetation in each buff_water polygon - here is how you calculate the percentage.Open the attribute table of buff_water_Clip. Right-click on VEG_RATIO field and select Field Calculator ... - Select Python as parser.In the code block set VEG_RATIO as:( !Shape_Area!/ !ORIG_AREA!) * 100
Add another field called VEG_TYPE of type TEXT/string to buff_water_Clip table. Now calculate VEG_TYPE using Calculate Field tool. Open Calculate Field tool and set parameter values using the screenshot below:[ATTACH=CONFIG]15118[/ATTACH]In case the image is not clear, use this as Expression:calc_veg_type(!VEG_RATIO!)
Use use this chunk of code in Code Block section - change the return value as per your requirements:def calc_veg_type(field): if field >= 10.0: return 'Vegetated' return 'Not vegetated'
