Geographic Information System of the European Commission (GISCO) - full database, May 2021

GISCO (Geographic Information System of the COmmission) is responsible for meeting the European Commission's geographical information needs at three levels: the European Union, its member countries, and its regions. In addition to creating statistical and other thematic maps, GISCO manages a database of geographical information, and provides related services to the Commission. Its database contains core geographical data covering the whole of Europe, such as administrative boundaries, and thematic geospatial information, such as population grid data. Some data are available for download by the general public and may be used for non-commercial purposes. For further details and information about any forthcoming new or updated datasets, see http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata. This metadata refers to the whole content of GISCO reference database extracted in May 2021, 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). The database is provided in as a single GDB and also as individual GPKG file per feature, with datasets at scales from 1:60M to 1:100K, with reference years spanning until 2021 (e.g. NUTS 2021). Additional information and metadata is provided with the dataset in the folder docs. The database manual, a file with the content of the database, a glossary, and a document with the naming conventions are included in this folder. The document GISCO-ConditionsOfUse.pdf provided with the dataset gives information on the copyrighted data sources, the mandatory acknowledgement clauses and re-dissemination rights. The license conditions for EuroGeographic datasets in GISCO are provided in a standalone document "LicenseConditions_EuroGeographics.pdf". The main updates with respect to the previous version of the full database in the SDI (from June 2020) are the addition of the following datasets: - Coastline boundaries, 2020 (COAS_2020) (N.B.: An update is expected soon) - Degree of Urbanisation, 2020 (DGURBA_2020) - Exclusive Economic Zones, 2020 (EEZ_2020) - FAO Fishing Areas, 2020 (FAO_FISH_2020) - Healthcare services (HEALTH) - LAU Historical Census data (LAU_CENS_1961-2011) - Local Administrative Units, 2017 (LAU_2017), 2019 (LAU_2019) and 2020 (LAU_2020) - LUCAS, 2018 (LUCAS_2018) - Metropolitan Regions, 2021 (MREG_2021) - Postal Codes, 2020 (PCODE_2020) (N.B.: DE is to be updated soon) When available, the model specifications of these new layers are also provided with the database (under the folder docs). NOTE: This metadata file is only for internal EEA purposes and in no case replaces the official metadata provided by Eurostat. For specific GISCO datasets included in this version there are individual EEA metadata files in the SDI: NUTS_2021, MREG_2021 and CNTR_2020. For public products, continuous updates are being published in the public website of GISCO: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata. The original metadata files from Eurostat for the different GISCO datasets are available via ECAS login through the Eurostat metadata portal on https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/inspire-sdi/srv/eng/catalog.search#/home For more information about the full database or any of its datasets, please contact the SDI Team (sdi@eea.europa.eu).

Copernicus National Boundary Layer with 250 m buffer, version 3, Jan. 2019

For the provision of land monitoring services within COPERNICUS, a consistent, stable, sufficiently detailed boundary layer is required at EEA, which provides a “land mask” for the area that needs to be monitored. This metadata refers to the National Boundary layer both in vector formats (GDB, SHP) and in raster format (TIFF) at 10, 20 and 100m resolution, of each of the EEA member and cooperating countries as well as the United Kingdom (former EEA39). This is a product derived from the EEA 39 Border Expert product, generalised to a scale of about 1:1 000 000 by applying a buffer of 250m and selecting the outline. Each country boundary has been projected to its respective national system(s), which are specified together with the EEA. The Border Expert product is based on the EU-Hydro Coastline Version 3 from EEA, the EEA coastline for analysis Version 2, the EBM GISCO Hybrid Layer from EEA, the EuroGeographics EuroBoundary Map Version 12, the “Water and Wetness High Resolution Layer 2015” from EEA and the JRC-Global Surface Water Occurrence layer. The production of this Border Product was coordinated by the European Environment Agency in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme.

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. Amendment to Serbia NUTS BN line status. * 2020-12-05 Fixed broken utf-8 encoding. * 2021-03-15 Added LAU 2011,2012,2013,2014,2015,2020 * 2021-04-26 Fixed country labels 2001, 2006 (incorrect Kosovo coordinates) IMPORTANT NOTE: Additional information, including the conditions of use and acknowledgement notice is included in the document provided with the dataset "GISCO NUTS 2021 Additional Information.pdf". Public access to this data set is restricted due to intellectual property rights. It shall only be used internally by the EEA, its ETCs and subcontractors working on behalf of the EEA. This metadata has been slightly adapted from the original metadata information provided by Eurostat (European Commission) and is to be used only for internal EEA purposes. An introduction to the NUTS classification is available here: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/nuts/overview.

Anwendungspotentiale für Biokohle aus organischen Abfällen in Albanien unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Wasseraufbereitung

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.

Auswirkungen von Migration und Rücküberweisungen auf die Landwirtschaft und die ländliche Entwicklung in Kosovo und Albanien

Die Mehrheit der internationalen Abwanderungen aus dem Kosovo und Albanien entstammen ländlicher Gebiete, die durch geringes Pro-Kopf-Einkommen, niedrige landwirtschaftliche Produktivität und hohe Arbeitslosenquoten gekennzeichnet sind und wo Familienbetriebe zum Eigenbedarf mit einfachen Landbaussystemen, hohem Grad an Ausschuss und schlechten landwirtschaftlichen Methoden die Norm sind. Die Migration in urbane Gebiete oder auf lukrativere westliche Arbeitsmärkte ist ein wesentlicher Teil der Existenzstrategien ländlicher Haushalte geworden. Die übergreifende Ziele dieser Forschungsarbeit sind: a) ein umfassendes Verständnis der Auswirkungen der internationalen Migration auf die Landwirtschaft und die ländliche Entwicklung im Kosovo und in Albanien zu schaffen, b) diese Auswirkungen auf ländliche Einkommensungleichheit und Armut, landwirtschaftliche Produktivität sowie Investitionen auf und außerhalb der Höfe zu quantifizieren, und c) Politikempfehlungen zu geben, wie die internationale Migration wirksam für die Entwicklung von einkommensschwachen ländlichen Gebieten in Albanien und im Kosovo eingesetzt werden kann. Für die Studie werden sowohl primäre, durch Feldforschung erhobene Daten verwendet, als auch zwei existierende Mikroleveldatensätze aus Albanien und dem Kosovo (Living Standard Measurement Survey - LSMS 2012 für Albanien und die UNDP 2011 Kosovo Remittance Survey).

Elevation map of Europe based on GTOPO30

WARNING: this dataset is outdated and we suggest using the much higher resolution (90m, 30m (public) and 10 m (restricted)) Copernicus DEM - Global and European Digital Elevation Model accessible at https://doi.org/10.5270/ESA-c5d3d65. The data is made using the global digital elevation model (DEM) derived from GTOPO30. Note that the values in the file are not the original elevation data. The data has been processed to create an image for presentation purposes streching a predefined colour template over the derived values. GTOPO30 is a digital elevation model for the world, developed by United States Geological Survey (USGS). It has a 30-arc second resolution (approximately 1 km)
