The c. 2000 and c. 2010 land cover maps and land use maps were created using high spatial resolution, commercial satellite imagery (e.g., IKONOS, QuickBird, WorldView, and GeoEye) collected around 2000 and 2010 for Kumasi, Ghana.  Classes 1-4 (vegetation, impervious, soil, and water) correspond to land cover classes, classes 5-7 (residential, non-residential, and undeveloped) correspond to land use clases, and classes 8 and 9 indicate cloud or cloud shadow presense in the imagery utized.
