Cool Cities Heat Risk Index (HRI) Middelburg 100 x 100m shapefile

Dataset: Cool Cities Heat Risk Index (HRI) – Middelburg, The NetherlandsDescriptionThis dataset provides the Cool Cities Heat Risk Index (HRI) for the municipality of Middelburg, The Netherlands. The HRI combines hazard, exposure, and vulnerability indicators to highlight areas where extreme heat may have the greatest impacts. It is designed as a practical screening tool to inform urban climate adaptation planning and investment decisions.The Middelburg HRI is calculated at 100 by 100 meter grid resolution using open and nationally consistent datasets. HRI values range from 0 to 1 and express relative heat risk within the city.InputsHazard: Percentage of grid cell area exposed to high PET based heat stress conditions.Exposure: Number of residents, elderly residents (65 plus), children (0 to 15), women, and dwellings.Sensitivity: Single person households, residents receiving unemployment, social or disability benefits, social housing dwellings, and residents with a migration background.Adaptive capacity: Percentage of owner occupied dwellings and average property value.All indicators are capped and normalized using city specific thresholds.MethodsHazard, exposure, and vulnerability are combined multiplicatively. Vulnerability is calculated using a weighted formulation that emphasizes sensitivity over adaptive capacity. Missing values are handled to avoid bias. The final HRI is normalized and transformed using a fourth root to improve interpretability.Intended useThis dataset supports identification of priority areas for heat adaptation in a medium sized Dutch city context, enabling comparison within Middelburg and alignment with national and regional climate adaptation strategies.LimitationsThe HRI reflects relative spatial patterns and is not a measure of absolute risk. It does not account for transient populations, indoor conditions, or temporal dynamics of heat events.

数据集：荷兰米德尔堡市清凉城市热风险指数（Cool Cities Heat Risk Index, HRI）
数据集描述
本数据集为荷兰米德尔堡市提供清凉城市热风险指数（Cool Cities Heat Risk Index, HRI）。该指数融合了危险性、暴露性与脆弱性三类指标，用以识别极端高温可能造成最严重影响的区域，旨在作为实用筛查工具，为城市气候适应规划与投资决策提供决策支撑。
米德尔堡热风险指数以100×100米的网格分辨率，基于开放且全国统一的数据集计算得出。指数取值范围为0至1，用以表征该市范围内的相对热风险水平。
输入指标
危险性：基于生理等效温度（Physiological Equivalent Temperature, PET）的高温热胁迫区域占该网格单元总面积的百分比。
暴露性：常住人口、老年人口（65岁及以上）、儿童（0至15岁）、女性数量以及住宅单元数。
敏感性：单人家庭户数、领取失业救济金、社会救助金或残疾人补助金的居民、社会保障性住房单元数以及具有移民背景的居民。
适应能力：自有住房占比与平均房产价值。
所有指标均通过城市专属阈值进行截断与归一化处理。
计算方法
危险性、暴露性与脆弱性采用乘积方式进行融合。脆弱性通过加权公式计算，且赋予敏感性相较于适应能力更高的权重。已对缺失值进行妥善处理以避免结果产生偏差。最终热风险指数经归一化处理后，通过四次根变换以提升结果的可解释性。
预期用途
本数据集可用于在荷兰中等规模城市的场景下识别高温适应优先区域，支持米德尔堡市内的空间对比，并可与国家及区域气候适应战略相衔接。
局限性
本热风险指数仅反映相对空间分布特征，并非绝对风险的量化指标。其未纳入流动人口、室内环境以及高温事件的时间动态变化特征。
