EEA geospatial data catalogue
Average percentage of urban green space within 300m distance from healthcare facilities in European cities, 2021
This metadata refers to the vector dataset presenting, for Urban Audit cities across EEA member countries, the average percentage of urban green space within 300m distance from healthcare facilities.
The data sources behind the dataset are the Eurostat data on location of healthcare facilities and the data contained in the EEA 'Urban green Infrastructure, 2018' dashboard, which was developed based on "Green Infrastructure Elements in the urban and commuting zones in 2018 - version 1, May 2021"
Temporal coverage: 2018/2021 (green space data is from 2018; the healthcare facilities data is from 2021)
The data is included in the European Climate and Health Observatory: https://climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu/observatory. The European Climate and Health Observatory platform provides easy access to a wide range of relevant publications, tools, websites and other resources related to climate change and human health .

The points representing the healthcare facilities located within the spatial extent of the Urban Audit cities were selected. For each healthcare facility, a buffer of 300m was created, within which the total area of land classified as urban green space was calculated. The total area of urban green space in the buffer was divided by the area of the buffer to obtain the percentage. An average (mean) of this percentage for all healthcare facilities was calculated per city.
The sources that underpin the dataset are: Urban Audit spatial boundaries 2018 (French cities based on the 2020 Urban Audit spatial boundaries): ( https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/administrative-units-statistical-units/urban-audit), the Eurostat data on location of healthcare facilities ( https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/healthcare-services), and the data contained in the EEA 'Urban green Infrastructure, 2018' dashboard ( https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/dashboards/urban-green-infrastructure-2018) which was developed based on "Green Infrastructure Elements in the urban and commuting zones in 2018 - version 1, May 2021"
