Household density with good metropolitan facilities - Flanders - State 2013

This map indicator shows per ha the number of households that are well or very well equipped with metropolitan facilities within cycling distance. The map with the level of 'basic facilities per ha' is divided into 4 categories: moderate, limited, well and very well provided. Only for the areas that are well and very well provided, the map of households 2013 is used and therefore limited to those areas. Households that are limited or moderately served by metropolitan facilities are therefore not shown. What facilities were taken into account to define the metropolitan facilities can be found in the final report of the research study: Verachtert, E., I. Mayeres, L. Poelmans, M. Van der Meulen, M. Vanhulsel, G. Engelen (2016), Development opportunities based on node value and proximity facilities. This study was carried out by VITO on behalf of the Department of Space Flanders and published on 29-02-2016. See https://www.ruimtelijkeordening.be/NL/Services/Research/Studies/article… The indicator 'household density per ha', which was created in the following way, was used to determine (an approximation of) the number of households per ha. The dataset of the population describes the location and the number of inhabitants per address on the basis of a points file. This file (beta version) was created by Flanders Information Agency (AIV) on the basis of data from the National Register (as of 2 March 2013). The locations were determined by geocoding the addresses based on CRAB (version 2013). As a proxy for the number of households, the number of addresses in the dataset was used. .Based on the AIV's points file, the number of households per hectare was initially calculated by summing up the number of objects in the address dataset per hectare cell. The biggest outliers were removed from the map.
