e
the distribution of developed land cover in Puerto Rico. Developed land cover refers to urban, r
t
built-up and non-vegetated areas that result from human activity. These typically include built o

structures, concrete, asphalt, and other infrastructure. The developed land cover was created R
through remote sensing analysis of Landsat ETM+ satellite imagery ranging from the years 2000 i
c
to 2003. For these years Puerto Rico had 95 342 ha of developed lands, 11% of the country’s o

surface, with most developments occurring in coastal plains and valleys.
