The Historical Urban Population, 3700 BC - AD 2000, originally developed by the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, is the first spatially explicit global data set containing location and size of urban populations over the last 6,000 years. The data set was created by digitizing, transcribing, and geocoding historical, archaeological, and census-based urban population data. Each data point consists of a city name, latitude, longitude, year, population, and a reliability ranking to assess the geographic uncertainty of each data point. Despite spatial and temporal gaps, no other geocoded data set at this resolution exists. It can therefore be used to investigate long-term historical urbanization trends and patterns, evaluate the current era of urbanization, and build a richer record of urban population through history.

The BC Hydrologic Zones represent regions of similar climate and terrain resulting in somewhat homogeneous hydrology characteristics. The zones were defined previously by Obedkoff and others. This dataset has been extended into the neighbouring province, territories, and states for regional flood frequency analysis studies. See Bulletin 2020-1-RFFA British Columbia Extreme Flood Project – Regional Flood Frequency Analysis – Technical development report and manual to complete a regional flood frequency analysis.

Owing to the increasing number of elderly “baby boomers” in Japan, the number of cancer patients is also expected to increase. Approximately 2 million baby boomers from nearby local areas are residing in metropolitan areas; hence, the geographical distribution of cancer patients will probably markedly change. We assessed the expected number of breast cancer (BC) patients in different regions (urban, outer city, town, rural) using estimates of the nation’s population and Kanagawa Cancer Registry data. To estimate future BC incidence for each region, we multiplied the 2010 rate by the predicted female population for each region according to age group. The incidence cases of BC in those aged ≥65 years is expected to increase in all areas; in particular, compared to rates in 2010, the BC incidence in urban areas was predicted to increase by 82.6% in 2035 and 102.2% in 2040. Although the incidence in all BC cases in urban areas showed an increasing trend, until peaking in 2040 (increasing 31.2% from 2010), the number of BC patients would continue to decrease in other areas. The number of BC patients per capita BC specialist was 64.3 patients in 2010; this value would increase from 59.3 in 2010 to 77.7 in 2040 in urban areas, but would decrease in other areas. Our findings suggest that the number of elderly BC patients is expected to increase rapidly in urban areas and that the demand for BC treatment would increase in the elderly population in urban areas.

The Ministry reports the breakdown of the BC Employment and Assistance program each month by region. This data is from 1997 and assumes existing regions for all historical data (back casted). Cases, recipients and dependent children are reported for the Ministry regions. Refer to the "Ministry of Social Development Region Boundaries" Data Catalogue entry for region boundaries. The Ministry no longer uses a 'regional' model for service delivery. As such, this is just maintained for historical purposes.

Health Regions 2005 describes in detail the health region limits as of June 2005 and their correspondence with the 1996 and 2001 Census geography. Health regions are defined by the provinces and represent administrative areas or regions of interest to health authorities. This product contains correspondence files (linking health regions to 2001 Census geographic codes) and digital boundary files. User documentation provides an overview of health regions, sources, methods, limitations and product description (file format and layout).In addition to the geographic files, this product also includes 2001 Census data (basic profile) for health regions. A result of the co-operation of provincial health ministries, Alberta Treasury and BC Stats, Health Regions 2005 is part of the Health Information Roadmap initiative, a joint effort among the Canadian Institute for Health Information, Health Canada and Statistics Canada. Health Regions 2005 was produced by the Health Statistics Division in collaboration with the Geography and Dissemination divisionsHealth regions are definedby provincial governments as the areas of responsibility for regional healthboards (i.e., legislated) or as regions of interest to health care authorities. This product replaces Health Regions 2000. For current Health Regions data, refer to Statistics Canada.

Soil holds 75% of the total organic carbon (TOC) stock in terrestrial ecosystems. This comprises ecosystem-derived organic carbon (OC) and black carbon (BC), a recalcitrant product of the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass. Urban topsoils are often enriched in BC from historical emissions of soot and have high TOC concentrations, but the contribution of BC to TOC throughout the urban soil profile, at a regional scale is unknown. We sampled 55 urban soil profiles across the North East of England, a region with a history of coal burning and heavy industry. Through combined elemental and thermogravimetic analyses, we found very large total soil OC stocks (31–65 kg m–2 to 1 m), exceeding typical values reported for UK woodland soils. BC contributed 28–39% of the TOC stocks, up to 23 kg C m–2 to 1 m, and was affected by soil texture. The proportional contribution of the BC-rich fraction to TOC increased with soil depth, and was enriched in topsoil under trees when compared to grassland. Our findings establish the importance of urban ecosystems in storing large amounts of OC in soils and that these soils also capture a large proportion of BC particulates emitted within urban areas.

In response to the growing concern of loss of biodiversity due to global urbanization, much research has investigated its influence on habitat connectivity, yet little is known about the functional habitat connectivity of the Coastal Douglas-fir (CDF) and the Western Hemlock (CWH) BEC Zone in urban areas. This study aimed to assess the functional habitat connectivity of the Township of Langley in British Columbia, Canada, to facilitate urban planning and urban biodiversity conservation. Using lidar-derived and land cover data, quantified habitat connectivity was quantified with the probability of connectivity index (PC) for three species (the western red-backed salamander, the American red squirrel, and the brown creeper) with different habitat requirements and mobility. Suitable habitat patches were filtered and selected based on the habitat requirements of each species, and habitat networks were generated considering dispersal distance to model the connectivity index in the Conefor software. Key patches, hub patches, and key-hub patches were identified based on the patch importance level generated from Conefor. The study found a large variance in PC and distribution of important patches among species in the landscape. The major connectivity corridor, identified according to the distribution of key-hub patches for all species, showed some important areas for overall connectivity improvement. Despite limitations on timeliness, computational power and consideration of dispersal barriers, this study enhances understanding of local-scale connectivity and offers guidance for urban planners and developers seeking to incorporate biodiversity conservation in decision-making. Identification of key patches, hub patches, and key-hub patches also highlights potential areas for habitat preservation, which is particularly relevant for urban green infrastructure design that supports both human well-being and biodiversity conservation.
