Notes: From 2000 onwards, a new survey method by using remote sensing technology and a new classification of land uses have been adopted. |
The results of the survey provide a set of more detailed land uses, particularly in the rural non-built-up areas. Hence, figures presented |
above are not strictly comparable with those for years 1999 and before. |  |
Figures are as at December of the year. |  |

Scheme (PSPS) and temporary housing areas. |  |
