Need for high resolution data

RAUMIS: German sector model for agricultural environmental impact assessment County as highest spatial resolution(>15 years of history)

For environmental impact assessment frequently data with a higher spatial resolution needed:

• Phytosanitary issues• Erosion• Biodiversity• Water protection• Greenhouse gas emissions

Legal limitations on the availability of data

Data published by Statistical offices must comply with data protection regulations (cf. EUROSTAT, 2009), i.e. data are censored if a

• value is aggregated of less than 3 observations• single observation contributes more than 80% to the aggregate Primary confidentiality

Additional data are censored to avoid a univocal retrival of censored data

Secundary confidentiality

The higher the reolution the more data are censored

FSS is generally not available on local level for scientific use (exemptions U.K.: EDINA; Austria: IACS)

The aim (from county to municipality)

Build a data set for 31 agricultural activities on local level Data should be consistent to the agriculural statistics on county

level Not only distribute already published agricultural activities

according to a priory rules Extract as much information from the Statistical office as legally

feasible

Data flow of the algorithm

A) Consistent municipality data set

B) Data set with test statistics

1) Data preparation

4) Calculate test statistics

3) Estimate consistent municipality data set

Farm Structure Survey Microdata(FDZ 1999, 2003, 2007)

GIS land use data(BKG, 2008)

Control of Compliance with data protection regulations

Processing at FDZ

Processing at Office

2) Calculate Municipality clusters

Country aggregates for activities(FDZ, 2010)

The Clustering Step

Calculate 3 independent kMeans-cluster models (general landuse; arable farming livestock husbandry)

Clustering based on relative data

Each model has 8 to 13 Variables

In each Model ~ 9,000 municipalities are atttributed to ~ 180 clusters

Median and std. of the clusters are used as parameters in the further processing

Problem

Sum(Cluster(median) * GIS(extent))

County data

Estimation of a consistent data set

Estimation (Highest Posterior Density (HPD))

Algorithm

Search production level that comply with the constraints and mimize the deviation to the prior information

Prior Information

Relative values for 31 groups of Activities from (Cluster)

(Median and Std.)

Size of some types of land use (arable land, grass land …)(GIS)

Constraints

Aggregated activity levels per county (published statistic)

Summary

• Validated map of agriculture on municipality level from ’99 till ’07

• Data set consistent to agricultural census (county)

• Compared to GIS complete mapping of livestock husbandry

• Better estimates compared to county averages

• In most cases the deviation to the censored data on local level is negligible

• The approach allows disaggregation of RAUMIS-modelling results to the local level

• Particular relevance for environmental indicators

• Analysis of land use change with high resolution

Outlook

• Include computation of envrionmental indicators

• Modification of the symetric penalty function (distribution of municipalities in the clusters frequently skewed)

• Modify GIS confidence estimator(Currently ad-hoc approach)

• Use in information of the other years in the estimation framework
