That looks to me like a population map rather than a landuse one, but I'd have to see the key. >From Wikipedia: "Land cover is distinct from land use despite the two terms often being used interchangeably. Land use is a description of how people utilize the land and socio-economic activity - urban and agricultural land uses are two of the most commonly recognised high-level classes of use." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_cover "Forest", is not land use.
