| 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. |
| 1*Residential
land developed by private developers except village houses, Home Ownership
Scheme (HOS)/Private Sector Participation |
| Scheme (PSPS) and temporary housing areas. |
| 2*Include
HOS/PSPS and temporary housing areas. |
| 3*Include
temporary structures. |
| 4*Include open
storage areas. |
| 5*Include
parks, stadiums and playgrounds. |
