Commercial Gulupa Cultivation Suitability Zoning for Colombia at 1:100,000 Scale

A geospatial zoning map for commercial gulupa (Passiflora edulis f. edulis) cultivation suitability in Colombia. The dataset categorizes land into five suitability classes—High, Medium, Low, Not Suitable, and Legal Exclusion—based on physical, socio-ecosystem, and socio-economic criteria. It was published on the datos.gov.co platform and last updated on 2026-05-18.

Use Cases

• Classify land suitability for gulupa cultivation using the Aptitud column and associated area in hectares (Área (ha)) from 9 available columns.
• Aggregate suitability zones by administrative region using Municipio, Departamento, Código Municipio, and Código Departamento columns for regional planning.
• Perform spatial analysis and mapping of suitability classes using the_geom geometry column to visualize zoning patterns.
• Calculate total area per suitability category by summing the Área (ha) column for national agricultural resource assessment.

Strengths

• Defines five detailed suitability categories (Aptitud) based on a documented methodology for commercial crops.
• Includes explicit geospatial geometry (the_geom) for mapping and analysis at a 1:100,000 scale.
• Provides administrative linkage with Municipio and Departamento columns for regional analysis.

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.
• The license and original author are not specified in the provided input.
