Description
A land suitability map for commercial granadilla (Passiflora ligularis J.) cultivation in the Nariño department of Colombia, produced at a 1:100,000 scale. The dataset results from a 2017 inter-administrative contract between UPRA and the University of Nariño, applying a methodology that integrates biophysical, socioeconomic, and socio-ecosystem components. It categorizes land into five aptitude classes, from 'High Aptitude' to 'Legal Exclusions', with data last updated in May 2026.
Use Cases
Classifying land aptitude for granadilla using the Aptitud column to train a supervised model on geospatial features.
Calculating total suitable area in hectares by aggregating the Área (ha) column filtered by Aptitud categories.
Mapping suitability zones by joining the the_geom geometry data with the Aptitud and Consecutivo attributes for visualization.
Identifying regions with legal restrictions by filtering for the 'Exclusiones legales' value in the Aptitud column.
Strengths
Includes a geospatial geometry column (the_geom) enabling map-based analysis.
Provides explicit area calculations in hectares (Área (ha)) for each suitability polygon.
Defines five clear, legally-informed aptitude categories (Aptitud) based on integrated assessment criteria.
Limitations
Row count and total dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale processing.
Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness require manual inspection after download.
