In order to use the standard color legend for Romanian soil type maps in the ESRI ArcMap-10 electronic format, a dataset consisting a shapefile set (.dbf, .shp, .shx, .sbn, and .sbx files), four different .lyr files, and three different .style files have been prepared (ESRI, 2016). The shapefile set is not a “real” georeferenced layer/coverage; it is designed only to handle all the instants of soil types from the standard legend. This legend contains 67 standard items: 63 proper colors (different color hues, each of them having, generally, 2 - 4 degrees of lightness and/or chroma, four shades of grey, and white color), and four hatching patterns on white background (ESRI, 2016). The “color difference DE*ab” between any two legend colors, calculated with the color perceptually-uniform model CIELAB , is greater than 10 units, thus ensuring acceptably-distinguishable colors in the legend. The 67 standard items are assigned to 60 main soils existing in Romania, four main nonsoils, and three special cases of unsurveyed land. The soils are specified in terms of the current Romanian system of soil taxonomy, SRTS-2012+, and of the international soil classification system WRB-2014. The four different .lyr files presented here are: legend_soilcode_srts_wrb.lyr, legend_soilcode_wrb.lyr, legend_colourcode_srts_wrb.lyr, and legend_colourcode_wrb.lyr. The first two of them are built using as value field the ‘Soil_codes’ field, and as labels (explanation texts) the ‘Soil_name’ field (storing the soil types according to SRTS/WRB classification), respectively, the ‘WRB’ field (the soil type according to WRB classification), while the last two .lyr files are built using as value field the ‘colour_code’ field (storing the color codes) and as labels the soil name in SRTS and WRB, respectively, in WRB classification. In order to exemplify how the legend is displayed, two .jpg files are also presented: legend_soil_srts_wrb.jpg and legend_colour_wrb.jpg. The first displays the legend (symbols and labels) according to the SRTS classification order, the second according to the WRB classification. The three different .style files presented here are: soil_symbols.style, wrb_codes.style, and colour_codes.style. They use as name the soil acronym in SRTS classification, soil acronym in WRB classification, and, respectively, the color code.

Romania administrative level 0-2 sex and age disaggregated 2022 population statistics
REFERENCE YEAR 2022
These tables are suitable for database or GIS linkage to the Romania - Subnational Administrative Boundaries layers.
This dataset contains shoreline positions derived from available Landsat satellite imagery (1984 to 2023) for the Romanian Black Sea coast. The shoreline positions were derived on transects 50 m apart using the open-source toolbox, CoastSat described in Vos and others, 2019a and 2019b. Landsat coastal imagery was classified, and shoreline positions were detected at the sub-pixel scale. Transects starting and end coordinates as well as all shoreline points along the transects for each date for which a Landsat image was processed are delivered in a comma delimited CSV table. Significant uncertainty can be associated with the locations of shorelines in extremely dynamic regions, including at the locations of river mouths, tidal inlets, capes, and ends of spits. Since the Black Sea is a micro-tidal environment (less than 10 cm tidal range), the expected positional shoreline root means square error (RMSE) is less than 10% of Landsat pixel size of 30 m. These data can be used with any GIS software for shoreline evolution analysis, or other software to assist identifying and assessing possible areas of change and vulnerability, along with appropriate inclusion of uncertainty.

This dataset provides detailed information on road surfaces from OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, distinguishing between paved and unpaved surfaces across the region. This information is based on road surface prediction derived from hybrid deep learning approach. For more information on Methods, refer to the paper
Roughly 0.4242 million km of roads are mapped in OSM in this region. Based on AI-mapped estimates the share of paved and unpaved roads is approximately 0.1112 and 0.1025 (in million kms), corressponding to 26.2097% and 24.1636% respectively of the total road length in the dataset region. 0.2105 million km or 49.6267% of road surface information is missing in OSM. In order to fill this gap, Mapillary derived road surface dataset provides an additional 0.0004 million km of information (corressponding to 0.1878% of total missing information on road surface)
It is intended for use in transportation planning, infrastructure analysis, climate emissions and geographic information system (GIS) applications.

Spatial data are crucial in archaeological research, where orthophotos, digital elevation models, and 3D models are widely used for mapping, documenting, and monitoring archaeological sites. The introduction of affordable and compact unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has significantly advanced the use of UAV-based photogrammetry in the past 20 years. Recently, compact airborne systems have also enabled the capture of thermal, multispectral, and aerial laser scanning data. This study presents the data acquired with different platforms and sensors at Chalcolithic archaeological sites in Romania's Mostiștea Basin and Danube Valley. Since laser scanning and photogrammetry generate large data volumes, data storage and dissemination must also be carefully considered. Based on a thorough study of system performance, data acquisition and processing methods, and data outputs, a workflow for the systematic mapping and documentation of sites has been proposed. Given the experience obtained in the last 5 summer campaigns (2018-2023), 19 sites have been accurately mapped, of which 5 sites are mapped using airborne laser scanning. 18 sites are documented using multispectral photogrammetry, and for 17 sites, interactive image-based 3D models are acquired using true-color photogrammetry. All data are stored on a publicly accessible website for visualization, as well as on an open-data platform for data exchange. For the multispectral data, a raster tile service has been implemented, allowing the use of the data in a GIS environment.

INFP, CRMD and UCL have developed a framework capable of analyzing the implications of natural hazards on transportation networks, also in a time-dependent manner. This is currently embedded into an ArcGIS toolbox entitled Network-risk, which has been successfully tested for Bucharest, contributing to an insightful evaluation of emergency intervention times for ambulances and firefighters, in the case of an earthquake. The files and the user manual allow a replication of our recent analysis in Toma-Danila et al. (2022) and a download of results (such as affected roads and unaccesible areas in Bucharest), in various formats. Some of the results are also presented in an ArcGIS Online app, called "Riscul seismic al Bucurestiului" (The seismic risk of Bucharest), available at https://tinyurl.com/yt32aeyx. In the files you can find: - the Bucharest road network used in the article; - facilities for Bucharest and Ilfov, such as hospitals, firestations, buildings with seismic risk or tramway lines accesible by emergency vehicles - results of the analysis: unaccesible roads and areas, service areas around facilities, closest facilities for representative points - Excel calculator for Z elevation from OpenStreetMap data - the user manual and a ArcGIS toolbox.

Through time, both natural and cultural heritage have unfortunately been under threat due to multiple environmental and human-induced factors, which are likely to trigger various hazards such as soil erosion, landslides, or land collapse. The analysis of old cartographic material, aerial imagery, and satellite imagery has been used in multiple studies to observe and understand the changes that archaeological sites have undergone over the last centuries. These efforts are intended, among other things, to raise awareness of the threats affecting cultural heritage and prevent damages and preserve tangible evidence of the distant past. In this study, historical maps and satellite imagery were analyzed to observe how the landscape in the Mostiștea Valley (Romania) has been used over the last 230 years and how the land use has affected the cultural heritage. Land cover and land use (LCLU) changes in the Mostiștea Valley have occurred due to numerous natural and anthropic forces. These changes have resulted in the damage of tangible heritage in the area with varying degrees of intensity. The results of this study allow the quantification of the magnitude of these changes and their impact on different sites in the region.
