WMS Accessibility of Near Urban Green Areas

The indicator describes the accessibility of public green spaces (larger 1 ha), measured by the population living at walking distance in relation to the total population of the respective city (central and large cities with 50,000 inhabitants). The indicator determines the proportion of the population that can be found near or within walking distance of public green spaces. Green spaces are multifunctional and have a high importance for the surrounding population through their climate function (air filtration, cold air formation), recreation function (sports, leisure, nature experience) and flood protection function (water storage, retention area). The indicator of close-to-home green accessibility focuses on everyday recreation at walking distance. For more information, visit http://www.ioer-monitor.de/index.php?id=44&ID_IND=O03RG
