Pasca Municipality Land Cadastre with Economic Destination and Geometry

A shapefile containing the land cadastre for the municipality of Pasca, Colombia. The data includes columns for economic destination, geometry, sector, geometric area, DIVIPOLA code, and property number. It was last updated on 2026-05-18 and is hosted by the Colombian open data portal, www.datos.gov.co.

Use Cases

• Analyze land use patterns by mapping `dest_econo` (economic destination) against `sector` using the `the_geom` column.
• Calculate total land area by property type by aggregating the `area_geom` values filtered by `dest_econo`.
• Join with other municipal datasets using the standardized location code `divipola` for regional analysis.
• Identify property distribution and density by visualizing the `num_pred` (property number) associated with each geometric feature in `the_geom`.

Strengths

• Includes specific geospatial geometry data (`the_geom`) for mapping and spatial analysis.
• Contains a standardized Colombian municipal code (`divipola`) for interoperability with other national datasets.
• Provides a direct link to economic land use through the `dest_econo` column.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• The `last_updated` date is in the future (2026-05-18), indicating a potential metadata error.
