Footpath Polygons in City of Canning with Construction Attributes

City of Canning data contains footpath polygons digitized from aerial photography. The dataset includes attributes for street name, suburb location, path type, and construction material.

Use Cases

• Map footpath network coverage by suburb using the Location field.
• Analyze the distribution of path types (FP, SP, SP-NTS) across different streets via the Type column.
• Assess infrastructure material composition by querying the Material attribute (e.g., concrete, asphalt).
• Identify footpath ownership patterns by correlating polygon locations with the St_Name field.

Strengths

• Data includes specific path type classifications (FP, SP, SP-NTS) and material attributes.
• Polygons represent a comprehensive network, including paths owned by multiple organizations.
• Digitized from aerial photography, providing a spatially accurate representation.

Limitations

• Unknown row count and sample size prevent assessment of statistical representativeness.
• Data scope is limited to the City of Canning, not generalizable to other regions.
• Potential for positional inaccuracies inherent in digitization from aerial imagery.
