Scale as linked to D2.2 framework

• City
• Neighborhood

Data source [ link to data framework]

required data:

• geographical data of land use / land cover
• typology of areas supporting biodiversity : depending on the type of biodiversity supposed to be considered in the region and the type of habitats
• cartography of the areas supporting biodiversity within the NBS solution

source:

• Different sources may be used, depending on the NBS scale and the type of habitats defined in the attended typology
  • Corine Land Cover (at the big city scale)
  • National databases (ex. Urban Atlas (only for big cities) ; OSGE in France…)
  • Local spatial databases
  • Statistic databases (without spatialization)

Needs

• GIS software
• Spatial data

Expected Outputs

• Quantitative results
