APIExecutable4/7Query nowOpen workbench Subscribe🇨🇭Switzerland

This API provides access to data on ground cover type (nature du sol) for the canton of Geneva, Switzerland, maintained by the Geneva territorial information system (SITG). It classifies land surfaces into six categories intended to eventually form, together with above-ground buildings and road infrastructure, a complete partition of the territory: hard surface, green space, water, wooded area, unvegetated area, and related types. The dataset supports land-use analysis, planning, and environmental monitoring at the cantonal level.Sous la terminologie usuelle de nature du sol sont regroupés les différents types de nature devant former à terme, avec les bâtiments hors-sol et le domaine routier, une partition complète du territoire. On distingue 6 types de natures du sol : - revêtement dur - verte - eau - boisée - sans végétat…
