A system for assigning space (buildings) to parcels to establish a base-year parcel-level description of built form is described. The system was applied repeatedly to Autauga County, Alabama, where a land use–transport interaction model is being developed. The system sorts parcels according to suitability for different space types, with the details of the sorting process controlled by user parameters. Parameters were adjusted to achieve appropriate assignment in one county for which target data were available to compare the assignment with observed data. Three map comparison techniques were applied. The resulting parameters will be used in the other counties in the Montgomery, Alabama, Metropolitan Planning Organization and may be transferable to other areas in the United States. Major findings include the importance of an accurate zonal-level inventory, the usefulness of quantitative map comparisons, and the need for some information to identify vacant parcels.
