Working on a flood-mitigation green-cover briefing. `landcover` has land-cover polygons for the Bangkok metro; `study_area` defines the BMA boundary. I need the land-cover within the study area, simplified enough that the file is small for the policy lead to preview in a browser, with the original `class` string and a per-feature `area_m2` in square metres.
Write the result to `bma_landcover_intersect.geojson` as a GeoJSON FeatureCollection with every feature stored as a MultiPolygon.

Now I understand the data: 1. `bangkok_landcover.parquet` - landcover polygons in EPSG:32647 (UTM zone 47N) with columns: id, class, geometry 2. `bma_study_area.geojson` - study area in EPSG:32647 with columns: name, geometry Both are in the same CRS (EPSG:32647, UTM zone 47N), which is metric. So area calculations in this CRS will give square metres. The task: 1. Clip/intersect landcover with study area 2. Simplify the geometry (to reduce file size for browser preview) 3. Keep the original `class` string 4. Add a per-feature `area_m2` column in square metres 5. Output as GeoJSON FeatureCollection 6. Every feature stored as a MultiPolygon Let me write the script. I'll use geopandas for this. Steps: 1. Read both files 2. Ensure same CRS (they're both 32647) 3. Intersect landcover with study area 4. Simplify geometries (e.g., with a tolerance that reduces complexity but preserves shape) 5. Calculate area in m² for each feature 6. Convert any single Polygon to MultiPolygon 7. Write to GeoJSON For simplification, I need to choose a tolerance. Since the data is in UTM meters, a tolerance of 5-10 meters should significantly reduce file size while keeping shapes recognizable for a browser preview. Let me also think about coordinate precision in the output GeoJSON - I should round coordinates to reduce file size. Let me write the script.

The clip failed due to invalid geometries in the landcover dataset. I need to fix/validate the geometries before clipping. Let me add a buffer(0) fix step.

Wait, I also need to make the study area valid too. Let me also fix the study area geometry just in case.

Everything checks out: - 3453 features, all MultiPolygon - Columns: class, area_m2, geometry - CRS: EPSG:32647 (UTM zone 47N, metric) - area_m2 computed correctly in square metres - File is 3.3 MB — small enough for browser preview - GeoJSON is a FeatureCollection - All geometry types are MultiPolygon The result is ready.
