Tags Social system, socio-economic resources, justice, BES, Environmental Justice, Environmental disamentities, Zoning Board of Appeals Summary For use in the environmental injustices study of Baltimore relating to patterns of environmental disamenties in relation to low income/minority communities. Description This feature class layer is a point dataset of appeals to the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) from 1938 to 1999 concerning identified environmental disamentities. The data was gathered from records from the Zoning Board of Appeals decisions since 1931 relating to environmental disamentities and to be used to examine environmental injustices involving low income/minority communities in Baltimore. To see if environmental injustices exist in Baltimore, this point layer will be overlayed with race/income data to determine if patterns of inequity exist. Points were placed manually using the associated addresses from the ZBA_master dataset. The ID number associated with each point is related to its appeal number from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Multiple points on the data layer have the same ZBA_ID number, making it a one-to-many relationship. This layer can be joined with the ZBA_master table using the "ZBA_point_relationship" and the field "ZBA_ID". Credits UVM Spatial Analysis Lab Use limitations None.

Extent West -76.708848 East -76.527906 North 39.371642 South 39.199548 This is part of a collection of 221 Baltimore Ecosystem Study metadata records that point to a geodatabase. The geodatabase is available online and is considerably large. Upon request, and under certain arrangements, it can be shipped on media, such as a usb hard drive. The geodatabase is roughly 51.4 Gb in size, consisting of 4,914 files in 160 folders. Although this metadata record and the others like it are not rich with attributes, it is nonetheless made available because the data that it represents could be indeed useful.

摘要：本数据集用于巴尔的摩环境不公正研究，聚焦低收入/少数族裔社区相关的环境不利条件分布模式。

描述：本要素类图层为1938年至1999年间向分区上诉委员会（Zoning Board of Appeals, ZBA）提起的、涉及已识别环境不利条件的上诉点位数据集。数据采集自1931年以来分区上诉委员会的相关裁决记录，用于探究巴尔的摩市内低收入/少数族裔社区面临的环境不公正问题。为验证巴尔的摩是否存在环境不公正现象，本点位图层将与种族/收入数据进行叠加分析，以判断是否存在不公平分布模式。点位通过ZBA_master数据集附带的地址手动标注。每个点位关联的ID编号对应其在分区上诉委员会的上诉编号。本数据图层中存在多个点位共享同一ZBA_ID编号的情况，因此二者为一对多的关联关系。可通过"ZBA_point_relationship"字段与"ZBA_ID"字段，将本图层与ZBA_master数据表进行关联连接。
