Who it is for
Public-private partnership (PPP) investors and government bodies: to identify unbuilt public land, its size and zoning before proposing a project on it.
Method: what we add to the raw data
- Parcels recorded as public land, of all sizes, were used.
- An unbuilt parcel contains no interior point of a main or under-construction building footprint and no address point, the same definition as the vacant-land product.
- Each parcel was assigned its current zoning class and block from its representative (interior) point and placed in one of four size classes.
- Remarks, request numbers, user names and an undocumented status field were removed.
- The map is classified with Natural Breaks (Jenks) on unbuilt public land area per block.

Limitations
- 'Unbuilt' does not mean 'available for investment': a parcel may be a garden, square, car park or earmarked for a project; the data contains no allocation status.
- Custody category is a class, not an entity name, reproduced as recorded; the meaning of code 01 (CMC) is not documented, and 146 parcels have no recorded category.
- The last update of the public-land record, building footprints and addresses is not documented.
- Some parcels have no recorded parcel number; parcel_no is NULL for them.
- Parcel area is computed from the drawn boundary and may differ from the registered area.
- 6 unbuilt parcels (176.6 ha, 18.2% of unbuilt area) lie on reclaimed or coastal land beyond the drawn block boundaries. They are summed in an 'Outside blocks' row of the block table (block number NULL) and shown on the map with hatching.
- Hawar Islands are included in the data but lie outside the map frame.
