Point without Area is treated as 4 hectares

What the Information System does

It accepts the point and sets its area to four hectares: "If it is not provided, then it will be set by default to "4" (four) hectares" (GeoJSON File Description, File Variants Description, important notes); "If the user provided no data, the value 4 (ha) is introduced by default for the area" (Information System validation rules, Geolocation area for point).

A broken example

{
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [
    {
      "type": "Feature",
      "properties": {
        "ProducerCountry": "CI",
        "ProductionPlace": "No area"
      },
      "geometry": {
        "type": "Point",
        "coordinates": [-5.123456, 6.123456]
      }
    }
  ]
}

What the checker reports for this file:

1. This point has no Area, so the Information System will record it as 4 hectares., line 6, column 21

Fix it in EUDRplot

1. Open the file in the checker. Points without an Area are listed as notes, not errors: the file will be accepted.
2. Add the real area. Add "Area": 1.25 (the plot's real size in hectares, as a number) to each point's properties.
3. Or map the plot. A polygon needs no Area: its area is measured from the boundary.

Fix it in QGIS

1. Add the Area field. Field Calculator: create a Decimal number field named Area, or update it if it exists, from the column that holds the plot size in your source data.
2. Check the units. Area is in hectares. If your source is in square metres, divide by 10,000; in acres, multiply by 0.4047.
