Return one of the available geospatial data sources representing administrative areas

Returns an administrative geospatial data source. The coordinate reference system is 'BD72 / Belgian Lambert 72' (EPSG-code 31370).

read_admin_areas(
  file = file.path(locate_n2khab_data(), c("10_raw/flanders", "10_raw/provinces",
    "10_raw/sac")),
  dsn = c("flanders", "provinces", "sac")
)

Arguments

file

file	The absolute or relative file path of the data source. The default follows the data management advice in the vignette on data storage (run `vignette("v020_datastorage")`). It uses the first `n2khab_data` folder that is found when sequentially climbing up 0 to 10 levels in the file system hierarchy, starting from the working directory.
dsn	A string, conforming to one of the data source names listed under Usage. Considering the default values of the `path` and `file` arguments, it is recommended to just use this argument. Defaults to `"flanders"`. Different data sources are handled differently by the function. The `dsn` argument states which data source is requested. It is also used to determine `file` if that argument is not specified, in order to select the right data file(s) from the `n2khab_data` folder.

Value

A Simple feature collection of geometry type MULTIPOLYGON or POLYGON.

Details

See section Usage to see which N2KHAB data sources are available. You get a list of the data source names and related information with XXXXXXXXX. You are referred to the raw N2KHAB-data collection at Zenodo to learn more about these data sources.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
flanders <- read_admin_areas(dsn = "flanders")
provinces <- read_admin_areas(dsn = "provinces")
