This dataset contains open vector data for railways, forests and power lines, as well an open digital elevation model (DEM) for a small area around a sample forest range in Europe (Germany, Upper Bavaria, Kochel Forest Range, some 70 km south of München, at the edge of Bavarian Alps). The purpose of this dataset is to provide a documented sample dataset in order to demonstrate geospatial preprocessing at FOSS4G2019 based on open data and software. This sample has been produced based on several existing open data sources (detailed below), therefore documenting the sources for obtaining some data needed for computations related to forest accessibility and wood harvesting. For example, they can be used with the open methodology and QGIS plugin Seilaplan for optimising the geometric layout cable roads or with additional open software for computing the forest accessibility for wood harvesting. The vector data (railways, forests and power lines) was extracted from OpenStreetMap (data copyrighted OpenStreetMap contributors and available from https://www.openstreetmap.org). The railways and forests were downloaded and extracted on 18.05.2019 using the open sources QGIS (https://www.qgis.org) with the QuickOSM plugin, while the power lines were downloaded a couple of days later on 23.05.2019. Additional notes for vector data: Please note that OpenStreeMap data extracts such as forests, roads and railways (except power lines) can also be downloaded in a GIS friendly format (Shapefile) from http://download.geofabrik.de/ or using the QGIS built-in download function for OpenStreetMap data. The most efficient way to retrieve specific OSM tags (such as power=line) is to use the QuickOSM plugin for QGIS (using the Overpass API - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API) or directly using overpass turbo (https://overpass-turbo.eu/). Finally, the digitised perimeter of the sample forest range is also made available for reproducibility purposes, although any perimeter or area can be digitised freely using the QGIS editing toolbar. The DEM was originally adapted and modified also with QGIS (https://www.qgis.org) based on the elevation data available from two different sources, by reprojecting and downsampling datasets to 25m then selecting, for each individual raster cell, the elevation value that was closer to the average. These two different elevation sources are: - Copernicus Land Monitoring Service - EU-DEM v.1.1 (TILE ID E40N20, downloaded from https://land.copernicus.eu/imagery-in-situ/eu-dem/eu-dem-v1.1; this original DEM was produced by the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service “with funding by the European Union” based on SRTM and ASTER GDEM) - Digitales Geländemodell 50 m Gitterweite (https://opendata.bayern.de/detailansicht/datensatz/digitales-gelaendemodell-50-m-gitterweite/), produced by the Bayerische Vermessungsverwaltung – www.geodaten.bayern.de –and downloaded from http://www.geodaten.bayern.de/opendata/DGM50/dgm50_epsg4258.tif This methodology was chosen as a way of performing a basic quality check, by comparing the EU-DEM v.1.1 derived from globally available DEM data (such as SRTM) with more authoritative data for the randomly selected region, since using authoritative data is preferred (if open and available). For other sample regions, where authoritative open data is not available, such comparisons cannot longer be performed. Additional notes DEM: a very good DEM open data source for Germany is the open data set collected and resampled by Sonny (sonnyy7@gmail.com) and made available on the Austrian Open Data Portal http://data.opendataportal.at/dataset/dtm-germany. In order to simplify end-to-end reproducibility of the paper planned for FOSS4G2019, we use and distribute an adapted (reprojected and resampled to 25 meters) sample of the above mentioned dataset for the selected forest range. This sample dataset is accompanied by software in Python, as a Jupiter Notebook that generates harmonized output rasters with the same extent from the input data. The extent is given by the polygon vector dataset (Perimeter). These output rasters, such as obstacles, aspect, slope, forest cover, can serve as input data for later computations related to forest accessibility and wood harvesting questions. The obstacles output is obtained by transforming line vector datasets (railway lines, high voltage power lines) to raster. Aspect and slope are both derived from the sample digital elevation model.

Introduction

We are enclosing the database used in our research titled "Concentration and Geospatial Modelling of Health Development Offices' Accessibility for the Total and Elderly Populations in Hungary", along with our statistical calculations. For the sake of reproducibility, further information can be found in the file Short_Description_of_Data_Analysis.pdf and Statistical_formulas.pdf

The sharing of data is part of our aim to strengthen the base of our scientific research. As of March 7, 2024, the detailed submission and analysis of our research findings to a scientific journal has not yet been completed.

The dataset was expanded on 23rd September 2024 to include SPSS statistical analysis data, a heatmap, and buffer zone analysis around the Health Development Offices (HDOs) created in QGIS software.

Short Description of Data Analysis and Attached Files (datasets):

Our research utilised data from 2022, serving as the basis for statistical standardisation. The 2022 Hungarian census provided an objective basis for our analysis, with age group data available at the county level from the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH) website. The 2022 demographic data provided an accurate picture compared to the data available from the 2023 microcensus. The used calculation is based on our standardisation of the 2022 data. For xlsx files, we used MS Excel 2019 (version: 1808, build: 10406.20006) with the SOLVER add-in.

Hungarian Central Statistical Office served as the data source for population by age group, county, and regions: https://www.ksh.hu/stadat_files/nep/hu/nep0035.html, (accessed 04 Jan. 2024.) with data recorded in MS Excel in the Data_of_demography.xlsx file.

In 2022, 108 Health Development Offices (HDOs) were operational, and it's noteworthy that no developments have occurred in this area since 2022. The availability of these offices and the demographic data from the Central Statistical Office in Hungary are considered public interest data, freely usable for research purposes without requiring permission.

The contact details for the Health Development Offices were sourced from the following page (Hungarian National Population Centre (NNK)): https://www.nnk.gov.hu/index.php/efi (n=107). The Semmelweis University Health Development Centre was not listed by NNK, hence it was separately recorded as the 108th HDO. More information about the office can be found here: https://semmelweis.hu/egeszsegfejlesztes/en/ (n=1). (accessed 05 Dec. 2023.)

Geocoordinates were determined using Google Maps (N=108): https://www.google.com/maps. (accessed 02 Jan. 2024.) Recording of geocoordinates (latitude and longitude according to WGS 84 standard), address data (postal code, town name, street, and house number), and the name of each HDO was carried out in the: Geo_coordinates_and_names_of_Hungarian_Health_Development_Offices.csv file.

The foundational software for geospatial modelling and display (QGIS 3.34), an open-source software, can be downloaded from:

https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html. (accessed 04 Jan. 2024.)

The HDOs_GeoCoordinates.gpkg QGIS project file contains Hungary's administrative map and the recorded addresses of the HDOs from the

Geo_coordinates_and_names_of_Hungarian_Health_Development_Offices.csv file,

imported via .csv file.

The OpenStreetMap tileset is directly accessible from www.openstreetmap.org in QGIS. (accessed 04 Jan. 2024.)

The Hungarian county administrative boundaries were downloaded from the following website: https://data2.openstreetmap.hu/hatarok/index.php?admin=6 (accessed 04 Jan. 2024.)

HDO_Buffers.gpkg is a QGIS project file that includes the administrative map of Hungary, the county boundaries, as well as the HDO offices and their corresponding buffer zones with a radius of 7.5 km.

Heatmap.gpkg is a QGIS project file that includes the administrative map of Hungary, the county boundaries, as well as the HDO offices and their corresponding heatmap (Kernel Density Estimation).

A brief description of the statistical formulas applied is included in the Statistical_formulas.pdf.

Recording of our base data for statistical concentration and diversification measurement was done using MS Excel 2019 (version: 1808, build: 10406.20006) in .xlsx format.

This data package includes two related data files that can be used as input for habitat network analyses on amphibians using a specific habitat network analysis tool (HNAT; v0.1.2-alpha):

1. AmphibianHabitatNetwork_Parameters.xlsx
2. BiotopeMap_GothenburgRegion_withPondsRoadsAndBuildings.tif

HNAT is a plugin for the open-source Geographic Information System QGIS (https://qgis.org/en/site/). HNAT can be downloaded at https://github.com/SMoG-Chalmers/hnat/releases/tag/v0.1.2-alpha. To run the habitat network analyses based on the input data provided in this package one must install the plugin HNAT into QGIS. This software has been created by Chalmers within a research project financed by the Swedish government research council for sustainable development, Formas (FR -2021/0004), within the framework of the national research program "From research to implementation for a sustainable society 2021". The Excel-file contains the parameters for amphibians and the GeoTiff-file is representing a biotope raster map covering the Gothenburg region in western Sweden. SRID=3006 (Sweref99 TM). Pixel size =10x10 metres. The pixel values of the biotope map correspond to the biotope codes listed in the in the parameter file (see column “BiotopeCode”). For each biotope the parameter file holds biotope specific parameter values for two alternative amphibian models denoted “Amphibians_NMDWater_ponds” and Amphibians_NMDWater_ponds_NoFriction”. The two alternative parameter settings can be used to demonstrate the difference in model prediction with or without the assumption that amphibian movements are affected by barrier effects caused by roads, buildings and certain biotopes biotope types. The “NoFriction” version assumes that amphibian dispersal probability declines exponentially with increasing Euclidian distance whereas the other set assumes dispersal to be affected by barriers. Read the readme file for details on each parameter provided in the parameter file.

The GeoTiff-file is a biotope mape which has been created by combining a couple of publicly available geodata sets. As a base for the biotope map the Swedish land cover map NMD was used (https://geodata.naturvardsverket.se/nedladdning/marktacke/NMD2018/NMD2018_basskikt_ogeneraliserad_Sverige_v1_1.zip). To achieve a greater cartographic representation of small ponds, streams, buildings and transport infrastructure relevant for amphibian dispersal, reproduction and foraging, NMD was complemented by information from a number of vector layers. In total, 20 new biotope classes representing buildings of different height ranging from less than 5 m up to 100 m, were added to the basic land cover map. The heights were obtained by analyzing the LiDAR data provided by Swedish Land Survey (for details see Berghauser Pont et al., 2019). The data was rasterized and added on top of existing pixels representing buildings in the Swedish land cover map. The roads were separated into 101 new biotope classes with different expected number of vehicles per day. Instead of using statistics from the Swedish Transport Administration on observed number of vehicles per day relative traffic volumes were predicted based on angular betweenness centrality values calculated from the road network using PST (Place Syntax Tool, Stavroulaki et al. 2023). PST is an open-source plugin for QGIS (https://www.smog.chalmers.se/pst). Traffic volumes are expected to be correlated to the centrality values (Serra and Hillier, 2019). The vector layer with the centrality values was buffered by 15 m prior to rasterization. After that the new pixel values were added to the basic Land cover raster in sequence following the order of centrality values. Information on small streams with a maximum width of 6 m was added from a vector layer of Swedish streams (https://www.lantmateriet.se/en/geodata/geodata-products/product-list/topography-50-download-vector/). These lines where rasterized and added to the land cover raster by replacing the underlaying pixel values with new class specific pixel values. Small pondlike waterbodies was identified from the NMD data selecting contiguous fragments of the original NMD biotope class 61 with a smaller area than 1 hectare. Pixels representing the smaller water bodies was then changed to 201.

Developed by SOLARGIS and provided by the Global Solar Atlas (GSA), this data resource contains direct normal irradiation (DNI) in kWh/m² covering the globe. Data is provided in a geographic spatial reference (EPSG:4326). The resolution (pixel size) of solar resource data (GHI, DIF, GTI, DNI) is 9 arcsec (nominally 250 m), PVOUT and TEMP 30 arcsec (nominally 1 km) and OPTA 2 arcmin (nominally 4 km). The data is hyperlinked under 'resources' with the following characteristics: DNI LTAy_AvgDailyTotals (GeoTIFF) Data format: GEOTIFF File size : 343.99 MB There are two temporal representation of solar resource and PVOUT data available: • Longterm yearly/monthly average of daily totals (LTAym_AvgDailyTotals) • Longterm average of yearly/monthly totals (LTAym_YearlyMonthlyTotals) Both type of data are equivalent, you can select the summarization of your preference. The relation between datasets is described by simple equations: • LTAy_YearlyTotals = LTAy_DailyTotals * 365.25 • LTAy_MonthlyTotals = LTAy_DailyTotals * Number_of_Days_In_The_Month For individual country or regional data downloads please see: https://globalsolaratlas.info/download (use the drop-down menu to select country or region of interest) For data provided in AAIGrid please see: https://globalsolaratlas.info/download/world.

Data can be used for visualization, further processing, and geo-analysis in all mainstream GIS software with raster data processing capabilities (such as open source QGIS, commercial ESRI ArcGIS products and others).

In order to use the QGIS plugin ‘Seilaplan’ for digital cable line planning, a digital terrain model (DTM) is required. The plugin ‘Swiss Geo Downloader’, which is available for the open source geoinformation software QGIS, allows freely available Swiss geodata to be downloaded and displayed directly within QGIS. It was developed in 2021 by Patricia Moll in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL. In this tutorial we describe how to download the high accuracy elevation model ‘swissALTI3D’ with the help of the ‘Swiss Geo Downloader’ and how to use it for digital planning of a cable line with the plugin ‘Seilaplan’. Please note that the tutorial language is German! Link to the Swiss Geo Downloader: https://pimoll.github.io/swissgeodownloader Link to Seilaplan website: https://seilaplan.wsl.ch
