  1. Integrated GMES Project on Landcover and Vegetation Grid based Spatial Disaggregation of Population Data geoland Co-funded by the European Commission within the GMES initiative in FP-6 Klaus Steinnocher – ARC systems research – Geostatistics Kongsvinger – 13.09.2006

  2. Background Integrated project geoland Observatory Spatial Planning geoland • funded within the 6th framework programme of the EC • represents a network of more than 50 research organisations, public administrations and service providers • aims to provide and establish geo-information products and services to support the European Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme • utilises available Earth Observation resources, and integrates them with existing models into pre-operational end-user applications Klaus Steinnocher ARC systems research 13.09.2006

  3. Background Observatory Spatial Planning Observatory Spatial Planning geoland • Introducing innovative EO based services and products into the domain of spatial planning • Building upon a representative user group representing European, national and regional policy requirements • DG Regio, ESPON • Environmental agencies • Regional governments • Serving user needs by integrating EO-derived land cover and use information with existing socio-economic data • Spatial Planning on European level focuses to a very high degree on socio-economic data alone • Land cover and use information can substantially improve statistical data Klaus Steinnocher ARC systems research 13.09.2006

  4. Linking people and pixels Spatial disaggregation Share of artificial surface areas Population density per artificial surface areas Observatory Spatial Planning geoland + = NUTS3 population density Klaus Steinnocher ARC systems research 13.09.2006

  5. Spatial disaggregation Population density Observatory Spatial Planning geoland • Parameters • Total population – global parameter on administrative units level • Housing density – local parameter from Earth observation • Spatial Disaggregation • Distributes population according to housing densities • Results in local distribution of population • Assumptions • Population density is proportional to housing density, • no population occurs outside housing areas, and • relationship between population and housing density is constant within a region, but might differ between regions. • Question • Is the assumption valid? • How accurate are the resulting data? Klaus Steinnocher ARC systems research 13.09.2006

  6. European case study Transnational test site Observatory Spatial Planning geoland • Region • Central Europe • 7 countries • Data base • Residential areas from CLC (class 1.1 urban fabric) • Population per NUTS 3 area (Eurostat) • Reference data (Austria) • Population grid (250m) –Statistik Austria • Population per district / municipality (census) Klaus Steinnocher ARC systems research 13.09.2006

  21. Conclusions Observatory Spatial Planning geoland • Spatial disaggregation of population leads to reliable results • Accuracies • improving with level of detail of land cover data (housing densities) • depending on spatial reference unit (districts, municipalities, etc.) • smaller units lead to lower relative but higher absolute accuracies • urban centers are underestimated, due to missing information on building heights • sparsely populated areas are underestimated, due to minimum mapping unit • For disaggregation of population housing density classes are required • Large cities should be treated separately Klaus Steinnocher ARC systems research 13.09.2006
