GISCO - Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics 2021 (NUTS 2021), May 2021

The 'GISCO NUTS 2021' data set represents the NUTS 2021 regulation and statistical regions by means of multipart polygon, polyline and point topology. The NUTS geographical information is completed by attribute tables and a set of cartographic help lines to better visualize multipart polygonal regions. The NUTS nomenclature is a hierarchical classification of statistical regions defined by Eurostat. The NUTS classification subdivides the EU economic territory into 3 statistical levels. The NUTS 2021 classification has been established through the Commission Delegated Regulation 2019/1755, which entered into force on 8th August 2019 and applies from 1st January 2021. A non official NUTS-like classification has been defined for the EFTA countries and the candidate countries. At present, six scale ranges (100K, 1M, 3M, 10M and 20M, 60M) are maintained in the GISCO geodatabase. The polygon and boundary classes delineate the regions, while the points provide an anchor for each region. Associated tables contain basic information such as the name of the region. The public data set will be available at 1M, 3M, 10M, 20M, 60M, while the full data set at 100K is restricted. The data set covers EU Member States, EFTA countries, EU candidate countries and the UK. Following the departure of the UK from the European Union, the UK is no longer flagged as an EU Member State but retains its place in the NUTS and statistical regions data set. This dataset (NUTS_2021) is derived from the EuroBoundary Map 2020 (EBM2020) from Eurogeographics as well as GISCO NUTS 2016 (from Türkiye). The list of NUTS2021 codes including changes with respect to NUTS2016 is available on https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/345175/629341/NUTS2021.xlsx. The public metadata for NUTS 2021 released by Eurostat is available here: https://gisco-services.ec.europa.eu/distribution/v2/nuts/nuts-2021-metadata.xml. This revision (May 2021) includes minor changes in the dataset such as (see https://gisco-services.ec.europa.eu/distribution/v2/nuts/nuts-2021-release-notes.txt): * 2020-10-05 Point snapping is disabled in all datasets, number of decimals increased for 01M datasets. * 2020-11-18 Inclusion of Jan Mayen and Svalbard in to Norways Statistical Regions.

Copernicus Boundary Layers with 250m buffer

The Copernicus boundary layers cover the EEA38 member states and United Kingdom including the French DOM (French Guiana GF, Guadeloupe GP, Martinique MQ, Mayotte YT and Reunion RE). The Copernicus Boundary Layer provides both land masks for the countries as well as national boundaries. The datasets are based on a rasterisation of the Boundary Layer vector product. The raster products are available with 250 m buffer in these resolutions: raster 10m, raster 20m and raster 100m. The production of the Border Products was coordinated by the European Environment Agency in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme. The use of the raster 10m, raster 20m and the vector data has to be agreed with EEA.

Geographic Information System of the European Commission (GISCO)

This metadata refers to the whole content of GISCO reference database, which contains both public datasets (also available for the general public through http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata) and datasets to be used only internally by the EEA (typically, but not only, GISCO datasets at 1:100k).

Bathing Water Directive - Status of bathing water

The EU Bathing Waters Directive requires Member States to identify popular bathing places in fresh and coastal waters and monitor them for indicators of microbiological pollution (and other substances) throughout the bathing season which runs from May to September

WISE WFD Protected Areas under the Water Framework Directive

The WISE WFD protected areas data set contains the location of areas which have been designated as requiring special protection of their surface water and groundwater, or for the conservation of habitats and species directly depending on water, including economically significant aquatic species (e.g. shellfish). According to the Article 6 of the Water Framework Directive (WFD, Directive 2000/60/EC), Member States shall ensure the establishment of a register of all areas lying within each River Basin District which have been designated as requiring special protection under specific Community legislation for the protection of their surface water and groundwater, or for the conservation of habitats and species directly depending on water, including the protection of Natura 2000 sites and economically significant aquatic species (e.g. shellfish).

AG-InstitutionsNaturalResources - Institutionenökonomik natürlicher Ressourcen

Im Rahmen des Forschungsprojektes wird - teilweise interdisziplinär - theoretische und empirische Forschung betrieben, um das Handeln von Landwirten angesichts institutioneller Sachzwänge bei der landwirtschaftlichen Wasserbewirtschaftung und der Landnutzung besser zu verstehen. In etlichen Transformationsländern sind Eigentrumsrechte sowie Rechte auf Zugang und Nutzung von Wasser nur unzureichend definiert und es mangelt an Anreizen für gemeinsame Maßnahmen um Bewässerungsinfrastrukturen zu erhalten. In anderem Umfang, von Land zu Land verschieden, trifft dies auch auf die Land- und Waldnutzung zu. Die Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler nutzen hauptsächlich quantitative Methoden und arbeiten hier mit Primärdaten, die in einigen Transformationsländern erhoben wurden. Sie sind aber grundsätzlich für qualitative Methoden offen. Regionale Forschungsschwerpunkte sind Transformationsländer wie China und ausgewählte Länder Zentralasiens und Südosteuropas. Folgende Qualifikationsarbeiten sind Bestandteil des Projekts: - Tapping two sources: Farmers conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water in North West China (Bearbeitung: Eefje Aarnoudse) - The land and water nexus in a transition context: the case of Tajikistan (Bearbeitung: Frederike Gehrigk) - Too much but not enough: Issues of water management in Albania (Bearbeitung: Klodjan Rama).

Stakeholders, Interests and Power as Drivers of Community Forestry: Comparative Analysis of Albania, Germany, Cameroon, Indonesia, Namibia, Nepal and Thailand

Community forestry has not met the great public expectations on a significant contribution to sustainable forestry yet. Recent research in the management and policy of community forestry describes a complex process of multi level social choice which determines the outcomes. Our hypothesis is that the key factors determining the outcomes of community forestry are the interests and power of the external stake holders. This hypothesis will be tested in a comparative quantitative and qualitative analysis. In seven countries comprising developed and developing countries 84 cases will be used for comparison. The comparative analysis will be carried out by one PhD student financed by the project. He will do the field work in close cooperation with PhD students who are already conducting their PhD analysis the different countries. The comparative analysis is aimed to explore key drivers of community forestry which are not yet identified in literature.

Fossile Faunen und Floren Kretas/Albaniens und ihre stratigraphische und ökologische Bedeutung

Im Anschluss an ältere, vor allem in der zweiten Hälfte der achtziger Jahre durchgeführte Untersuchungen in Griechenland und später Albanien sind einige ergänzende Geländearbeiten mit Kollegen der genannten Länder geplant, wozu alleine Reisemittel beantragt werden. Die biostratigraphisch ungegliederten Plattenkalke des Lefka-Gebirges führen nach Funden auf sekundärer Lagerstätte offensichtlich Fossilien, die im Anstehenden gesucht werden sollen. Die besonders von unserer Arbeitsgruppe gut untersuchten neogenen marinen Schichten Kretas sollen jetzt zusätzlich isotopen-stratigraphisch erfasst werden, wozu eine Mitarbeiterin die Proben nehmen muss. Rezente und fossile Algen-Vermetiden-Riffe Westkretas sind einer ersten Untersuchung unterzogen worden, jedoch fehlt noch eine quantitative Aufnahme bzw. Beprobung. Im Rahmen eines größeren Projektes über die Molassesedimente in der albanischen periadriatischen Depression wird ein Mitarbeiter an ausgewählten Profilen Beprobungen zur Untersuchung des Mikro- bzw. schwerpunktmäßig des Nannoplanktons durchführen und im Rahmen einer Dissertation untersuchen.

Nationally designated areas

The European inventory of Nationally designated areas holds information about designated areas and their designation types, which directly or indirectly create protected areas. The Nationally designated areas is the official source of protected area information from the 38 European member countries to the World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA). The Nationally designated areas data can be queried online in the European Nature Information System (EUNIS). Two versions of the public dataset are provided. The full dataset includes the entire geographical coverage including nationally designated areas in overseas entities. The European dataset excludes the overseas entities. The datasets are accompanied by tabular data which 1) includes information on the nationally designated sites and designated boundaries for public dissemination; and 2) contains information about designation types and the national and international legislative instruments, which directly or indirectly create protected designated areas in Europe.
