This descriptor classifies each tourism destination according to one of the following six tourism typologies: urban (or city tourism), coastal, nature, rural, snowy mountain, and mixed. The classification is first determined at NUTS3 level based on the proport...

This descriptor shows the number of World Heritage Sites designated by UNESCO. To be included in the World Heritage List, sites must be of outstanding value on the basis of cultural and natural criteria. A high number of UNESCO sites indicates the strong prese...

Projected potential accessibility according to the EU Reference scenario, 2010 - 2050.

Modelled average travel distances in 2010 and 2050 according to LUISA projections and a spatial interaction model (unit:meters). The results are based on a number of simulation-specific assumptions but are instrumental in informing the relative potential for s...

Potential accessibility indicator measures the potential amount of interactions one may have at different points in space. Crucial are the amount of potential interaction destinations, which in the presented indicator is observed as number of people in destina...

Data describing accurately aggregated travel times used to set up more accurate travel time models, given spatial interaction and aggregated interacting bodies. These have been used to improve the LUISA travel time estimations as documented in Stepniak and Jac...

The land function provision of leisure refers to the access to recreational services including cultural landscapes. The indicator Recreation Potential reflects the potential opportunities for nature based recreation activities provided from different ecosystem...

The indicator Water consumption is the result of the water use model which allocates sectorial statistical data on freshwater consumption. The level of detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and NUTS2. Additional publications: 1. Sarah Mubareka, Joachim Maes...

The share of industrial-commercial-services areas over the total land area indicator aims to assess the proportion of land used for economic activities over the total surface area. The level of detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and NUTS2.

Location accessibility indicates the travel times to the largest cities in the country or neighbouring countries. The level of detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and NUTS2. Additional publications: 1. Jacobs-Crisioni C, Batista e Silva F, Lavalle C, et a...

This dataset describes counterfactual public transport networks that were simulated for 36 world cities, and the aggregate data discussed in the paper in which these data are published. UNIT OF MEASURE: Meters of network length. RESOLUTION: 1:1000000. COMPLETE...

This dataset describes the inferred central role of settlements, established by repeatedly verifying if a settlement is the largest for incremental car travel time bands. UNIT OF MEASURE: Travel timebands in which settlement is largest. RESOLUTION: 1:1000000. ...

A composite indicator reflecting the relative flood risk within urban areas by taking into account the natural exposure (predicted flooded area and mean depth), and the sensitivity of the city to flooding (population and infrastructure affected).

This indicator measures the temporal concentration of tourism activity throughout the year, potentially revealing unbalanced pressure and economic activity, as well as vulnerability to demand shocks. As such, a high seasonality is potentially detrimental for s...

This indicator measures the average economic value generated per night spent at the tourist destination, revealing tourism contribution to the economy of the destination country. The average tourism expenditure was adjusted taking into account the living costs...

This descriptor measures the average duration of stays at tourist accommodation establishments. It is calculated by dividing the total number of nights spent by the total number of tourist arrivals. Longer lengths of stay can potentially generate higher touris...

The indicator presented here measures the share of Green Infrastructure at different regional levels (in %). Green Infrastructure (GI) is defined as a strategically planned and delivered network of high quality green spaces and other environmental features (EC...

Daily accessibility indicates the amount of people that live within four hours of driving from the location at hand.The level of detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and NUTS2. Additional publications: 1. Jacobs-Crisioni C, Batista e Silva F, Lavalle C, et...

Gross domestic product (GDP) is defined by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as standard measure of the value of final goods and services produced by a country during a period minus the value of imports. The projected GDP in Mi...
