Forest Reserves overview: Overview map on main dataset listing view

[LeScruf]

This is for the map on the dashboard that shows all the CFRs on one single map.

There should be an interactive map on the main Forest Reserve list view (page) (https://brms.stg.envs.utils.nfa.go.ug/forest-reserves) above the filter(s). We should take as reference this: https://forests.nfa.go.ug/

• Old polygons - as currently uploaded - in grey
• Newly digitized polygons
• Range boundaries - in purple
• Sector boundaries - in orange

Additional layers viewable and controllable through a layer widget control should include:

• Basemap type - Google or OSM
• Water management zones
• District boundaries
• Roads
• Settlements
• Water bodies and rivers
• Landcover series (multiple years 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2017, 2019)

(This data will be provided - in the appropriate format - vector data is easiest)

For each CFR record, the interactive map needs:

A layer control widget to control the visibility of the following layers (the list may grow): Old polygon - in grey (coordinates) Newly digitized polygon - Cutline - solid line

• Inter-protected area cutline -
• Natural boundary - water - dashed line
• Natural boundary - ridge - dashed line Location of pillars / way points - Cardinal / corner pillars - red circle with an annotation of pillar and coordinates
• Intermediate pillars - red dot with an annotation of pillar and coordinate There should be form fields for each of these additional attributes.

All layers can be turned on and off at the layer control widget. A key security feature is that once uploaded, geospatial data cannot be removed from the system (without admin intervention). This ensures that data-tampering is more difficult to effect.

Provide a way to upload the kml and provide a polygon textarea.

• Would NFA need in the future range and sector pages and individual management for those?

[LeScruf]

@ygoex - yes I think this would be a nice touch (also perhaps reproduced in forests.nfa.go.ug - at least at the range level since the sector level is already covered through the Forest Management Plan level).

Comment merged from CFR Master Maps: List of additional features required for the interactive map of each CFR Master Map record (Map features)#22

We will need to add the following fields:

A field (taxonomy type, called Polygon descriptor) to the Geo-layer to flag the old maps. A field (status) defining if the maps is old or new. A taxonomy term for the descriptors:

Basemap type - Google or OSM
Water management zones
District boundaries
Roads
Settlements
Water bodies and rivers
Landcover series (multiple years 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2017, 2019)
UTM Y733 1:50,000 series grid
UTM XXX 1:10,000 series grid

The layer types are: ONE This theme (Layer) is meant Only for the line Geometry features and these are the subtypes included; 1 cutline 2 riverline 3 shoreline 4 Inter protected area line TWO This theme (Layer) is meant Only for the point Geometry features and these are the subtypes included; 1 Corner pillar 2 Intermediate pillar 3 FD numbered markstone 4 cairn

Hi @LeScruf . The forest reserves overview map is ready for testing at https://brms.stg.envs.utils.nfa.go.ug/forest-reserves. I have added some geolayers to Abera. You will see that the map layer control allows you to toggle on/off layer types.

Hi - apologies for delayed reply - I had looked at this quite some time ago. Looking good. I believe there are some missing base layers - e.g. Districts, Ranges and Sectors - but certainly nothing critical right now. Thanks!
