Survey characteristics are the floor areas according to the type of actual use. The survey units of the area survey are the municipalities and unincorporated areas. The authorities responsible for maintaining the real estate cadastre under state law are responsible for providing information for the area survey. According to the real estate cadastre decree, the geodata center at Geobasis NRW performs this task in NRW. For this purpose, the secondary data stock real estate cadastre is evaluated. All usage types of the usage type groups for the areas of settlement, traffic, vegetation and water are prepared according to the usage type catalog NRW (see Annex 1 to the real estate cadastre decree NRW at www.recht.nrw.de). A complete list including further information can be found in the document "Supplementary Information". The areas are determined from the geometric ALKIS objects of the actual use, taking into account the image distortion, and are not compared to the book area of ​​the underlying parcels.
