1 Figures may not sum due to rounding.
2 The figures for Aberdeen City, East Ayrshire, Highland, Moray and West Lothian are not included as they were unable to participate in the 1998 survey.
3 The figures for Dundee are since the 1996 survey, as they did not participate in the 1997 survey.
10.2 Between 1997 and 1998, the total area of land reclaimed or brought back into use, excluding sites removed for definitional reasons, was 823 hectares comprising 545 sites. Fifty seven per cent of this area was derelict land that was reclaimed, of which 24 percent was in North Lanarkshire, and 18 per cent was in Falkirk. Of the vacant land that was brought back into use (355 hectares), 22 per cent was in Glasgow and 21 per cent in Falkirk.
10.3 The new use of sites, or parts of sites, being reclaimed or brought back into use was also recorded in the 1998 survey and can be seen, in Table 18 (excluding sites removed for definitional reasons).
