Assessing environmental and social sustainability at the landscape level poses significant challenges related to the availability of accurate cultural, economic, and ecological information. In this sector, decision-making must take this intersectional information into account to develop management strategies that enhance the sustainability of the territory, prevent detrimental actions to ecosystem services, and defend against poor socioeconomic management of a region.

To obtain key information in planning and land use planning processes, it is important to generate accurate spatial data associated with land cover and/or land use. This data is crucial to create monitoring and follow-up indicators of socio-ecological sustainability, as well as define actions that enroll different actors to work towards the sustainable management of said territory-landscape. This report aims to give an approximation on how to obtain land cover maps at different cartographic scales with aims to facilitate the analysis of information and ultimately evaluate which scale and method combinations offer the best balance between precision of data generated and resources invested.
