Description

'get_ARPA_Lombardia_zoning' returns the geometries (polygonal shape file) and a map of the ARPA zoning of Lombardy. The zoning reflects the main orographic characteristics of the territory. Lombardy region is classified into seven type of areas: large urbanized areas, urbanized areas in rural contexts, rural areas, mountainous areas and valley bottom. For more information, visit the section 'Zonizzazione ARPA Lombardia' at the websites https://www.arpalombardia.it/temi-ambientali/aria/rete-di-rilevamento/classificazione-zone/ and https://www.arpalombardia.it/temi-ambientali/aria/mappa-della-zonizzazione/

Usage

get_ARPA_Lombardia_zoning(
  plot_map = TRUE,
  title = "ARPA Lombardia zoning",
  line_type = 1,
  line_size = 1,
  xlab = "Longitude",
  ylab = "Latitude"
)

Arguments

plot_map	Logical value (FALSE or TRUE). If plot_map = TRUE, the ARPA Lombardia zoning is represented on a map, if plot_mat = FALSE only the geometry (polygon shapefile) is stored in the output. Default is plot_map = TRUE.
title	Title of the plot. Deafult is 'ARPA Lombardia zoning'
line_type	Linetype for the zones' borders. Default is 1.
line_size	Size of the line for the zones. Default is 1.
xlab	x-axis label. Default is 'Longitude'.
ylab	y-axis label. Default is 'Latitude'.

Value

The function returns an object of class 'sf' containing the polygon borders of the seven zones used by ARPA Lombardia to classify the regional territory. If plot_map = 1, it also returns a map of the zoning.
