Average percentage of urban tree cover within 300m distance from educational facilities in European cities, 2020

This metadata refers to the vector dataset presenting, for Urban Audit cities across EEA member countries, the average percentage of urban tree cover within 300m distance from educational facilities. The data sources behind the dataset are the Eurostat data on location of educational facilities and the data contained in the EEA 'Urban tree cover' dashboard, which has been developed based on the Copernicus services: "Urban Atlas - Street Tree Layer 2018", "High Resolution Layer: Tree Cover Density 2018" and "Urban Atlas 2018".

Temporal coverage: 2018/2022 (green space data is from 2018; the educational facilities data is from 2022).

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 .

Statement

The points representing the educational facilities located within the spatial extent of the Urban Audit cities were selected. For each educational facility, a buffer of 300m was created, within which the total area of land classified as urban tree cover was calculated. The total area of urban tree cover in the buffer was divided by the area of the buffer to obtain the percentage. An average (mean) of this percentage for all educational 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/statistical-units/urban-audit), the Eurostat data on location of educational facilities ( https://gisco-services.ec.europa.eu/pub/education/), and the data contained in the EEA 'Urban tree cover' dashboard ( https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/dashboards/urban-tree-cover), which was developed based on:
