NPScape Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) - Roads

NPS Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Inventory and Monitoring Division:. 2014. NPScape Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) - Roads

This standard operating procedure (SOP) provides guidance on how to process NPScape roads metrics: road density, distance from roads, and areas without roads. The purpose of this SOP is threefold. First, because these directions were followed in the processing of the NPS datasets, it provides detailed documentation on the methodology used by NPScape to calculate metrics for the Roads measure. Second, this SOP provides any user with the ability to replicate the creation of these data for custom areas of analysis. Finally, if an I&M park or network has a need to analyze roads data other than ESRI Streetmap, this SOP provides a processing template for recalculating focal metrics associated with the Roads measure.
