D5 2 UA Intra urban distances

First published in February 2020, updated in March 2020. This approximation of the average distance from the residential buildings to the city centre of sEEnergies Urban Areas is a straight line distance (in meters), considering the population distribution within the Urban Area. Here, the population distribution was based on the GHS population grid, which was published by the JRC in 2016 (being derived from Census datasets for 2011 (Eurostat), CORINE Land Cover Refined 2006 (CLC06rV2) as well as European Settlement Map 2016 (ESM 2016)) and for Ireland population data from the Census 2011 Small Area Population Statistics (Irish Central Statistics Office) distributed using the European Settlement Map (ESM) 2012 - Release 2017, 100m resolution, published by JRC. The underlying centre points are OpenStreetMap (OSM) place points or centroids of the sEEnergies Urban Areas. The distances are calculated by means of Euclidean Allocation with barriers, and Euclidean Distance. For additional information please refer to the D5.2 report.
