    <abstract lang="eng" displayLabel="Abstract">The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones and fault traces as shown on the Official Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones Map of the Santa Clara County. Alquist-Priolo fault zones do not correspond with fault rupture zones. The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act was passed in 1972 to mitigate the hazard of surface faulting to structures for human occupancy. This state law was a direct result of the 1971 San Fernando Earthquake, which was associated with extensive surface fault ruptures that damaged numerous homes, commercial buildings, and other structures. Surface rupture is the most easily avoidable seismic hazard. It directs the State of California Department of Conservation - Geological Survey to compile detailed maps of the surface traces of known active faults. The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act's main purpose is to prevent the construction of buildings used for human occupancy on the surface trace of active faults. The 1:24,000-scale (24K) U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle boundary data set contains the approximate boundaries of the various 24K USGS quadrangles and the names and indexing codes associated with each 24K quadrangle.</abstract>
    <abstract lang="eng" displayLabel="Purpose">The Santa Clara County Planning Office is part of the Department of Planning and Development. Their primary function is to plan and regulate land use and development within the unincorporated portions of Santa Clara County. Other responsibilities include policy analysis, GIS services, research and technical assistance relating to land use, housing, environmental protection, historic preservation and demographics. The Geographic Information Services Department has taken on all those activities related to GIS data and GIS process and procedures that cross organizational boundaries. Santa Clara County encompasses 15 cities and approximately 1.7 million people. This coverage can be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analyses of geospatial data. </abstract>
