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 ...

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...

Population weighted density refers to a metric which measures the density at which the average citizen lives. It is calculated by taking weighted average of the density of all parcels of land that make up a city, with each parcel weighted by its population (us...

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.

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 ...

Historical (observations) data and projections (modelled) of total employment per metro region (unit:employees). Historical regional data were extracted from EUROSTAT's online database and missing data were calculated in order to complete the historical series...

Historical (observations) data and projections (modelled) of total GDP per person employed in purchasing power parities (PPS) per metro region. Historical regional data of GDP per person Employed were calculated from the completed historical series of values o...

Removal capacity is calculated as the product of dry deposition velocity and pollutant concentration (Wesely and Hicks, 2000), derived on the context of the LUISA modelling platform.

Network efficiency is an index that indicates the distance between the connectivity offered by an existing, planned or modelled transport network and the connectivity offered by an ideal network. A network efficiency value of 1 indicates that the network conne...

The share of residential areas over the total land area indicator aims to assess the proportion of land used for residential, sport and leisure purposes and green urban areas over the total surface area. The level of detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and N...

The industrial/commercial/services (ICS) economic output per unit of ICS area- is the ratio of the Gross Value Added (GVA) of the industrial, commercial and services sectors by the industrial, commercial and services land use, and it is expressed as million EU...

This indicator is calculated by dividing the projected population in a region by the region total area. The level of spatial detail of this indicator is per NUTS0 and NUTS2.

The food and feed production indicator aims to assess the intensity of the agricultural production in Europe. The unit of measurement is thousands of tons per hectare.

The indicator reflects productivity in terms of water use, so gives a measure of a country's water use efficiency.

The indicator measures the degree to which species movements between different parts of the landscape are interrupted by barriers. The more barriers fragmenting the landscape, the more difficult will be the species movement through the landscape. This is measu...

The indicator measures the capacity of ecosystems to avoid soil erosion assigning values ranging from 0 to 1 at pixel level, covering the EU-28 territory. This indicator is related to the capacity of a given land cover type to provide soil protection.The level...

The EU urban population exposure to air pollution by particulate matter indicator shows the population weighted annual mean concentration of PM10 in agglomerations expressed in ug/m3.

Soil retention, is calculated as soil loss without vegetation cover minus soil loss including the current land use/cover pattern. Specifically, this indicator takes into account climate data (observed measurements for rainfall and modelled for snow), topograph...
