| Notes: From 2000, a new survey method by using remote sensing technology and a new classification of land uses has 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. |
| ¢ÙResidential land developed by private developers except village houses, Home Ownership Scheme (HOS)/Private Sector Participation |
| Scheme (PSPS) and temporary housing areas. |
| ¢ÚInclude HOS/PSPS and temporary housing areas. |
| ¢ÛInclude temporary structures. |
| ¢ÜInclude open storage areas. |
| ¢ÝInclude parks, stadiums and playgrounds. | |
