UTRF classification

Based on (Tornay et al. 2017) method, GeoClimate classifies the RSU areas according urban classes.

The Urban Typology by Random Forest (UTRF) is defined in table below with a proposed color to map them (default .sld file format can be downloaded at this adress).

Type	Type definition	Hexa Color code
ba	Industrial building	#8f8f8f
bgh	High-rise building	#000d00
icif	Block of buildings on closed urban islet	#d52623
icio	Block of buildings on open urban islet	#f07923
id	Detached building	#eccb27
local	Informal building	#d728ac
pcif	Residential on closed islet	#2b6724
pcio	Residential on open islet	#36884a
pd	Detached house	#22be2f
psc	Semi-detached house	#05ff58
-	Undefined	#ffffff

Output urban typologies layer

By default, 3 tables are calculated: building_utrf, rsu_utrf_area, rsu_utrf_floor_area

UTRF at building scale

Field name	Field type	Definition
ID_BUILD	INTEGER	BUILDING's unique id
ID_RSU	INTEGER	RSU's unique id the building belongs to
THE_GEOM	GEOMETRY	Building's geometry
I_TYPO	VARCHAR	Building urban typology

UTRF at RSU scale based on building area

The building typology is aggregated at RSU scale based on building area fraction

Field name	Field type	Definition
ID_RSU	INTEGER	RSU's unique id
THE_GEOM	GEOMETRY	RSU'S geometry
TYPO_MAJ	VARCHAR	Main urban typology
UNIQUENESS_VALUE	DOUBLE	The value of the uniqueness main class for the RSU defined as (FRACTION TYPO_MAJ - FRACTION TYPO_SECOND) / (FRACTION TYPO_MAJ + FRACTION TYPO_SECOND)
TYPO_BA	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "BA"
TYPO_BGH	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "BGH"
TYPO_ICIF	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "ICIF"
TYPO_ICIO	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "ICIO"
TYPO_ID	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "ID"
TYPO_LOCAL	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "LOCAL"
TYPO_PCIF	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "PCIF"
TYPO_PCIO	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "PCIO"
TYPO_PD	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "PD"
TYPO_PSC	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "PSC"

UTRF at RSU scale based on building floor area

The building typology is aggregated at RSU scale based on building floor area fraction

Field name	Field type	Definition
ID_RSU	INTEGER	RSU's unique id
THE_GEOM	GEOMETRY	RSU'S geometry
TYPO_MAJ	VARCHAR	Main urban typology
UNIQUENESS_VALUE	DOUBLE	The value of the uniqueness main class for the RSU defined as (FRACTION TYPO_MAJ - FRACTION TYPO_SECOND) / (FRACTION TYPO_MAJ + FRACTION TYPO_SECOND)
TYPO_BA	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "BA"
TYPO_BGH	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "BGH"
TYPO_ICIF	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "ICIF"
TYPO_ICIO	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "ICIO"
TYPO_ID	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "ID"
TYPO_LOCAL	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "LOCAL"
TYPO_PCIF	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "PCIF"
TYPO_PCIO	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "PCIO"
TYPO_PD	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "PD"
TYPO_PSC	VARCHAR	Fraction of type "PSC"
