Dear Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department,

I am writing to request the digital boundary of Designated Country Parks and Special Areas and the files provided in shapefile or dwg format are appreciated.

The boundary of Country Parks and Special Areas is available in pdf on https://www.afcd.gov.hk/english/country/..., however they are blurred and inconsistent with the land use under Outline Zoning Plan on https://www1.ozp.tpb.gov.hk/gos/default..... No accurate boundary of Country Parks can be found.

Thank you very much.

Yours faithfully,
Val Chan

Dear Val,

Currently, there are altogether 24 Country Parks and 22 Special Areas in
Hong Kong. From the map attached in your email, it only shows the
distribution of 24 Country
Parks and 11 Special Areas outside country park areas.  Please also be
advised that the boundaries of country parks and special areas in
shapefile format only show the approximate boundaries interpreted from the
original gazette plans of country parks and special areas.  Therefore, the
data are for general identification and reference purposes only, and
require further interpretation.  

To facilitate our processing of the information requested by you, grateful
if you would clarify the coverage of the requested information, and advise
the purpose for collecting these geospatial data or how you will use them
so that we can state their limitations when providing the information to
you?  In fact, the boundaries of country parks and special areas are
available from the gazette plans and existing Lands Department's
publications (e.g. countryside series), or could be viewed from Lands
Department's GeoInfo map website ([1]https://www.map.gov.hk).  You may
wish to consider whether the existing information (i.e. publications and
website) could suit your intended use.

Dennis WONG
