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, which are presented in latter part of this table.
Figures are as at December of the year.
①Residential land developed by private developers except village houses, Home Ownership Scheme (HOS)/Private Sector Participation
Scheme (PSPS) and temporary housing areas.
②Include HOS/PSPS and temporary housing areas.
③Include temporary structures.
