Variable : Land Utilisation Survey farmland categories

Variables serve as the dimensions of nCubes, and are generally based on the questions on forms such as the census schedule. However, in the aggregate data held in the Vision of Britain system we do not store the individual responses but counts of the number of each kind of response, so variables are made up of categories, such as age groups.

Variable (V)

Text:

L. Dudley Stamp's 1930s Land Utilisation Survey of Great Britain categorised farmland as either 'arable' or 'permanent grass'. In our main presentation of the LUSGB data we combine these into a single 'farmland' category, as the distinction between permanent grassland and fields sown with grass as part of a crop rotation was problematic, but here we divide them.
