The Environmental Atlas Maps Actual Use of Built-Up Areas (06.01), and Green and Open Spaces (06.02), were compiled parallel to Maps 06.07 and 06.08. In the course of the updating process for the 2016 Edition (as of December 12, 2015), changes in land use from 2011 to 2015 were ascertained. An update of the geometry of Block Map 1:5,000 (ISU5) was undertaken, and accordingly adapted to the urban structure maps. Moreover, the data base for actual use and structure mapping was subjected to an automated plausibility check on the basis of various geo-data available in the State of Berlin.
Overall, the following statistical bases were used to update and check the actual use and urban structure maps:
- Block Map of the Urban and Environmental Information System (ISU5/50), as of December 31, 2015
