Quebec Agricultural Land Use Authorization Decisions

CPTAQ decisions document applications for land use authorizations under Quebec's agricultural protection acts. The dataset includes rulings on lot inclusion, non-agricultural use expansion, and resource exploitation. File formats include HTML, SHP, and PDF.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of land use decisions using the SHP file format for geographic mapping
• Track the legal history of contested decisions referenced in the HTML and PDF documents
• Study authorization trends for non-agricultural uses and resource exploitation described in the decision texts

Strengths

• Data is sourced from authoritative topographic and cadastral references like the BDTQ at 1:20,000 scale
• Includes decisions from two Quebec acts: LPTAA and LATANR, covering multiple authorization types
• Maintained by the Government and Municipalities of Québec organization

Limitations

• The digital mapping is a working document and not exhaustive, with some decisions absent or represented as points
• Positioning of some decisions may be inaccurate due to reliance on older cadastral compilation maps
• Data completeness is affected by the ongoing cadastral renovation process, creating potential inconsistencies
