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. |
|
| ¢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. |
