The historical settlement data compilation for Spain (HISDAC-ES) is a geospatial dataset consisting of over 240 gridded surfaces measuring the physical, functional, age-related, and evolutionary characteristics of the Spanish building stock. We scraped, harmonized, and aggregated cadastral building footprint data for Spain, covering over 12,000,000 building footprints including construction year attributes, to create a multi-faceted series of gridded surfaces (GeoTIFF format), describing the evolution of human settlements in Spain from 1900 to 2020, at 100m spatial and 5 years temporal resolution. Also, the dataset contains aggregated characteristics and completeness statistics at the municipality level, in CSV and GeoPackage format.!!! UPDATE 08-2023 !!!: We provide a new, improved version of HISDAC-ES. Specifically, we fixed two bugs in the production code that caused an incorrect rasterization of the multitemporal BUFA layers and of the PHYS layers (BUFA, BIA, DWEL, BUNITS sum and mean). Moreover, we added decadal raster datasets measuring residential building footprint and building indoor area (1900-2020), and provide a country-wide, harmonized building footprint centroid dataset in GeoPackage vector data format.File descriptions:Datasets are available in three spatial reference systems:HISDAC-ES_All_LAEA.zip: Raster data in Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (LAEA) covering all Spanish territory.HISDAC-ES_IbericPeninsula_UTM30.zip: Raster data in UTM Zone 30N covering all the Iberic Peninsula + Céuta and Melilla.HISDAC-ES_CanaryIslands_REGCAN.zip: Raster data in REGCAN-95, covering the Canary Islands only.HISDAC-ES_MunicipAggregates.zip: Municipality-level aggregates and completeness statistics (CSV, GeoPackage), in LAEA projection.ES_building_centroids_merged_spatjoin.gpkg: 7,000,000+ building footprint centroids in GeoPackage format, harmonized from the different cadastral systems, representing the input data for HISDAC-ES.

The Itinerarium Orbis Christiani, edited by Hogenberg between 1579 and 1580, is little known, despite being considered the first European road atlas. The Hispania map offers us a network of transport routes the implementation of which was believed to be later and representative of innovative advances in terms of the visual differentiation of these routes. This article contextualizes this map and analyzes it in detail, dating its creation and identifying its sources. It then studies the Spanish transport network during the sixteenth century and, specifically, the characteristics of the three types of routes shown on the map. This is done by comparing it with several itineraries and maps of the time. To confirm the reliability of the Hogenberg map and to ensure the actual existence of the other types of routes shown on the map, proximity algorithms were applied. The research results question the traditional view of the origin and motivations of the Spanish transport network, tracing its unplanned birth at least as far back as the sixteenth century.

The Spanish Cultural Sites & Facilities dataset provides geospatial and descriptive information about cultural facilities across Spain, including theaters, museums, libraries, cultural centers, and other cultural venues. The dataset consists of 24,577 records and 28 attributes, capturing key details about each facility, such as its name, classification, location, contact information, and associated institutions.

This dataset is valuable for spatial analysis, urban planning, cultural heritage management, and public policy research. It enables researchers, policymakers, and cultural organizations to analyze the distribution, accessibility, and characteristics of cultural facilities across Spain.

The dataset is stored in GeoPackage (.gpkg) format, ensuring efficient geospatial data storage and compatibility with GIS software such as QGIS, ArcGIS, and other geospatial tools.

This dataset has been developed by Econcult, the Research Group on Cultural Economics at the University of Valencia, through the collection, cleaning, and processing of data from multiple sources of information.

A geographical name is a proper noun applied to a natural, man-made or cultural feature on Earth.

A feature can have different names in one or several languages and the names may be provided, together with appropriate information on the feature, in different products like maps and gazetteers as well as respective services.

An endonym is a name for a geographical feature in an official or well-established language occurring in that area where the feature is situated. An exonym is a name used in a specific language for a geographical feature situated outside the area where that language is widely spoken, and differing in form from the respective endonym(s) in the area where the geographical feature is situated. (UNGEGN, 2007).

In some cases names can be applied as attributes of appropriately modeled spatial objects. However, often the definition, classification, geometry and other attributes of these objects do not correspond with the respective named features. Besides, commonly named features such as elevations, islands, natural shoreline features and stretches of water bodies are seldom modeled as objects in spatial data sets.

A geographical name serves as a means to identify a location. Gazetteers and gazetteer services associate the names with corresponding features – or locations – by means of co-ordinates, feature types and/or other necessary information. A multi-lingual gazetteer (service) shall most probably be established as a part of INSPIRE.
