The enclosed map was developed by the Puerto Rico Gap Analysis Project (PRGAP) and displays
a land use classification of Puerto Rico. The map identifies three land use regions; Urban,
suburban, and rural, and displays developed (built-up) surfaces. Urban areas are predominantly
developed (greater than 20% developed land surface within a surrounding 1 km). Suburban and
rural areas are predominantly natural land cover with suburban areas having a higher population
density. The suburban areas could also be considered densely-populated rural and as the wildland
urban interface (WUI). The classification was made using information on the density of developed
land and on human population distribution. The classification can aid in the understanding of how
people use and develop the island and serve as a tool in land use planning.

We have developed three land use regions for Puerto Rico: GTR-39. Rio Piedras, PR; U.S. Departmenl of Agriaiilure, Forest Service. Internationa] Instituí
Urban. Suburban, and Rural (Gould et al. 2008; Martinuzzi et al.
2007). These three regiorrs can also be considered urban,
dertscly-populated rural, and sparsely-populated rural or as urban Rural use
and wildland with a wildland-uiban interface. The suburban use is 430 962 ha
