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) to limit the spatial extent af analysis. Within the cities' administrative boundaries, the burnt areas were overlaid with the Geostat 1km grid population data for 2011 (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/population-distribution-demography/geostat). The population within the extent of burnt areas was divided by the total population for the city to calculate the percentage. |
