Removal by urban vegetation was calculated as the product of deposition velocity and PM10 concentration in areas covered by vegetation. Air pollutant deposition velocity was assessed following the approach proposed by Pistocchi et al. (2010) that estimates dep...

Land Use Regression mode (LUR), were used to simulate PM10 concentrations at very high resolution (100m) built using pollutant concentrations for 2010 from monitoring sites as dependent variable, and several parameters (independent variables) defined within a ...

Removal by urban vegetation was calculated as the product of deposition velocity and NO2 concentration. Air pollutant deposition velocity was assessed following the approach proposed by Pistocchi et al. (2010) that estimates deposition velocity (DV) as a linea...

Annual rate of change in urban population proportion - proportion of the population living in Local Administrative Units - 2 (LAU2s) classified as cities, towns and suburbs. Classification of LAU2s as cities, towns and suburbs is based on the LUISA degree of u...

This indicator measures the annual mean concentrations of PM10 (µg / m3). PM10 is one of the main pollutants emitted by household and (to a lower extent) commercial and institutional fuel combustion, followed by industrial activities and transport. Because of ...

To simulate NO2 and PM10 at very high resolution (100 m), a Land Use Regression model (LUR) was built using pollutant concentrations for 2010 from monitoring sites as dependent variable and several other parameters (independent variables) were defined within a...

Urban population proportion. Proportion of the population living in Local Administrative Units - 2 (LAU2s) classified as cities, towns and suburbs. Classification of LAU2s as cities, towns and suburbs is based on the LUISA degree of urbanization projections. T...

Green Infrastructure (GI) is defined as a strategically planned and delivered network of high quality green spaces and other environmental features that are structurally and functionally “interconnected and therefore bring added benefits and are more resilient...

This indicator measures the total number of people exposed to an annual mean concentrations of PM10 exceeding 30 microgram /m3 of air. PM10 is one of the main pollutants emitted by household and (to a lower extent) commercial and institutional fuel combustion,...

Build-up areas cover the land classified as urban, industrial and abandoned urban and industrial. Land take means the total land taken by built-up areas, in other words the amount of change in built-up areas, within a specific period. In this indicator, first ...

Public, local, nature-based, outdoor recreational activities include a wide variety of practices ranging from walking, jogging or running in the closest green urban area or at the river/lake/sea shore, riding bike in nature after work, picnicking, observing fl...

Build-up areas cover the land classified as urban, industrial and abandoned urban and industrial. Besides the built-up areas, artificial areas cover the infrastructure and the green urban green leisure land classes. This indicator gives artificial areas per in...

This indicator cover the land classified as urban, industrial and commercial and urban green leisure. It provides data on residential, industrial and commercial areas per inhabitant in square meters for a specific year.

Total quantity of PM10 emitted by human activities (100 kg/year).

This indicator sums up populations (total number of inhabitants) issued from LUISA model runs at a specified administrative level.

Green Infrastructure (GI) is defined as a network of high quality green spaces and other environmental features. GI includes natural and semi-natural areas, features and green spaces in rural and urban, terrestrial, freshwater, coastal and marine areas. This i...

Historical population data from 1961 to 2011, based on a project supported by the Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (see Gløersen and Lüer, 2013, population data collection for European local administrative units from 1960 onwards).  It contain...

This indicator estimates the capacity of urban ecosystems to provide recreational opportunities. These include a wide variety of practices ranging from walking, jogging or running in the closest green urban area.

Total population divided by total area (person/km2). This indicator is calculated by dividing the projected population in a region by the total area of the region.
