Potential quiet areas in Europe, based upon Quietness Suitability Index (QSI) and Natura 2000 protected areas, Jul. 2016
Within the European Union, the Environmental Noise Directive (END; 2002/49/EC) defines quiet areas outside cities as those areas delimited by national authorities that are undisturbed by noise from traffic, industry or recreational activities. In this dataset, two datasets has been brought together to visualize how human made noise have an impact on nature protected areas: the Natura2000 dataset and the quietness suitable index dataset.
The data set is provided by countries both in Geodatabase and Geopackage formats.

Calculation and intersections of layers:
1. Calculation of QSI for european countries.
2. Intersection with Natura 2000 protected areas.
Data sources:
- END: major roads, major railways and major airports noise contour maps (2012)
- END: location of major roads and major railways and major airports
- Urban morphological zones (UMZ) from CLC 2006
- E-PRTR register: industries' location and attributes: Europe-wide register that provides easily accessible key environmental data from industrial facilities in European Union Member States and in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Serbia and Switzerland. It replaced and improved upon the previous European Pollutant Emission Register (EPER). Access 2014.
- Corine Land Cover and Land Use data 2006 (CLC) (100 × 100 m grid)
- Corine Land Cover 2000 for Greece
- EuroRegionalMap v. 6.0: roads, railways and airports infrastructure. (Version 6.0, 18.12.2012)
- Natura 2000
- The population of each UMZ in 2000 (year of reference) was added by using the last version (v. 5) of the population density grid constructed by the European Commission research centre (Gallego, 2010). Raster data on population density using Corine Land Cover 2000 inventory.
