Characterisation of Social Vulnerability to the environmental hazard of heat in Logroño, and the surrounding La Rioja region in Spain, derived from national census and EU Copernicus datasets.

Description

Raw census population and housing data, and the EU Copernicus impervious and tree cover data is not suitable for use within the vulnerability assessment. Instead, all these raw data are processed as z-scores. These z-score indicator columns are described below. Two datasets were produced as outputs. The first dataset excludes the Copernicus impervious surface and tree cover indicators. The z-score indicators are: Indicator Description CCA,CPRO,CMUN,CDIS,CSEC Index related to each administrative area used by the census data. early_childhood_boy Male children aged under 5 (0 - 4 years old). early_childhood_girl Female children aged under 5 (0 - 4 years old). age_middle_to_oldest_old_male Male population aged 75 years and over (75+ years old). age_middle_to_oldest_old_female Female population aged 75 years and over (75+ years old). disability Population with a disability preventing work. one_parent_households One parent household with children. dependants Population who are dependants (under 16 years old). unemployment Unemployed population. attending_university Population attending university. no_higher_education Population with no higher education. foreign_nationals Foreign national population. rented Household population who are renting. primary_school_age Population who are not primary school aged. one_person_households Household population occupied by one person only. year_built Population who are living in dwellings built on or before 1970. age Age domain based on the young and old indicators. health Health domain based on the disability indicator. income Income domain based on the one_parent_households, dependants, and unemployment indicators. info_access_use Information access/use domain based on the no_higher_education indicator. local_knowledge Local knowledge domain linked to the foreign_nationals indicator. tenure Tenure domain based on the households renting indicator. social_network Social network domain based on the primary_school_age and one_person_households indicators. housing_characteristics Housing characteristics domain based on the year_built indicators. sensitivity Sensitivity dimension based on the age and health domains. prepare Ability to prepare dimension based on the income, info_access_use, local_knowledge and tenure domains. respond Ability to respond dimension based on the income, info_access_use, local_knowledge, and social_network domains. recover Ability to recover dimension based on the income, info_access_use, social_network, and part housing_characteristics domains. adaptive_capacity Adaptive capacity dimension based on the income, info_access_use, local_knowledge, social_network, and housing_characteristics domains. social_vulnerability Social Vulnerability Index based on the integration of all the indicators.   The second dataset includes the above columns, plus the Copernicus impervious surface and tree cover densisty indicators. This adds the physical environment domain and enhanced exposure dimension based on these additional indicators. The updated Social Vulnerability Index is also recalculated to include these recalculated indicators. The new columns are, with the social_vulnerability being updated: Indicator Description tree_cover_density Indicator of tree cover. impervious Indicator of impervious surfaces. physical_environment Physical environment domain based on the tree_cover_density and impervious indicators. enhanced_exposure Enhanced exposure dimension based on the physical_environment domain and housing_characteristics domains. social_vulnerability Updated Social Vulnerability Index based on the integration of all the indicators.
