  Description:
    Abstract:
      Land use areas based on 3-digit SIC code representing undeveloped areas
      within New Hanover County located in high-risk areas based on natural hazard
      summary risk area coverage.
    Purpose:
      To assist planners in decision-making and prioritize hazard mitigation
      activities.

    Process_Step:
      Process_Description:
        New Hanover County staff provided an INFO file containing land use codes
        (numeric) and a unique parcel identifier.  Residential areas were selected
        out from this dataset and Coastal Services Center staff joined these tables
        by the "PID" attribute, removed several attributes that were not useful to
        the larger work project and saved the shapefile.  To identify undeveloped land
        use parcels within high-risk areas, an ArcInfo intersect operation was performed
        to locate all parcels with the natural hazard high-risk areas.  All parcels whose
        center fell within a natural hazard high-risk area were saved to the new shapefile.
