Dear Mr. WONG,

Freedom of Information request - Request of Land Use Distribution Data

        I refer to your enquiry dated 15.5.2019.
2.        The data you referred to in your enquiry was the working data
for preparing the plan of Land Utilisation in Hong Kong (LUHK) using
satellite images dated December 2017, which was in format of raster image
with geo-referencing (GeoTiff).  Planning Department (PlanD) is now in the
final stage of preparation for releasing the latest version of LUHK (using
satellite images dated December 2018 and January 2019) in the same format
as open data, which will be available to the public via PlanD’s website
([1]https://www.pland.gov.hk) and the Public Sector Information Portal
([2]https://data.gov.hk) in or before Q3/2019.   We will let you know by
email once the data is available for public's download via the above
websites.  However, if you consider that the working data of the old
version of LUHK using 2017 data could still be used to serve your
purposes, you may send me your personal email so that we can arrange to
give you the data.

Dear Mr. So,

Thank you for your help. So do you mean it is just geocoded image file? Is there any attribute table behind, such as area of each land use?
I appreciate for your help. I think you have my personal email. Please advise and arrange to send the data. Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Andy Wong
