figure 2 aerial photograph with cross grid, enlarged x 2,
original scale 1 : 10,000 and interpretation recording sheet of the
same area, reduced to x 2.5. An extension of the existing upper
middle class residential area with large houses compared with those
in figure A and B. Interpretation of two land use classes:
0 = non-residential
1 = residential, according to the operational definition
interpretation notes:
1 = the terrain is walled in, but no sign of a house
2 = building under construction, still no roof
3 = the cross centre point is just at the edge of the building
4 = the location of the cross centre point is difficult to see
5 = is the building under construction?
6 = short slope to overcome a height difference in the terrain
In the area 89 dots are interpreted as residential; at a
scale of 1 : 10,000 this represents 3.6 hectares. The accuracy
depends on sampling errors (inherent to the cross grid) and
interpretation errors.
