NPScape Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) - Housing

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

This standard operating procedure (SOP) provides guidance on how to process current (2010), past (1970-2000), and projected (2020-2100) NPScape housing density metrics from the Spatially Explicit Regional Growth Model, SERGoM. The purpose of this SOP is threefold. First, because these directions were followed in the processing of the NPS dataset, it provides detailed documentation on the methodology used by NPScape to calculate density metrics for the Housing 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 housing density data other than SERGoM, this SOP provides a processing template for recalculating focal metrics associated with the Housing measure.
