description:
|
The burnt areas were obtained as polygons from the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) of the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) (http://effis.jrc.ec.europa.eu). The polygons were dissolved in order to create one layer for all the years; therefore, if an area has been affected by fires on multiple occassions, it will just present as affected by fires.The areas affected by fires were overlaid with the polygons representing the Urban Audit cities' administrative boundaries (2011-2014 dataset from Eurostat: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/administrative-units-statistical-units/urban-audit#ua11-14). This allowed calculation of the total percentage of area that was affected by wildfires in the period of 2000-2017 in the city's administrative area. |
