Number of avalanche fatalities per calendar year in Switzerland since 1937

Attention: this data is not updated after 2022 anymore. This dataset contains the statistics on the number of avalanche fatalities per **calendar year** in Switzerland. The data collection commences with the beginning of the year 1937. After the completion of a hydrological year, which is the standard way avalanche fatalities are summarized in Switzerland and ends on the 30th of September, the new data is appended to the existing dataset. If you require annual statistics per hydrological year, please download the data from here: [https://www.envidat.ch/dataset/avalanche-fatalities-switzerland-1936] The following information is contained (by column and column title): - year - number of fatalities in the backcountry (=tour) - number of fatalities in terrain close to ski areas (=offpiste, away from open and secured ski runs) - number of fatalities on transportation corridors including ski runs, roads, railway lines (=transportation.corridors) - number of fatalities in or around buildings or in settlements (= buildings) - sum (of all four categories) The definitions for these four categories, as described in the guidelines to the avalanche accident database are: tour: activities include back-country ski, snowboard or snow-shoe touring offpiste: access from ski area, generally from the top of a skilift with short hiking distances transportation.corridors (Techel et al., 2016): people travelling or recreating on open or temporarily closed transportation corridors (e.g. a road user or a skier on a ski run) and people working on open or closed transportation corridors (e.g. maintenance crews on roads, professional rescue teams) buildings (Techel et al., 2016): people inside or just outside buildings, and workers on high alpine building sites重要提示：本数据集自2022年起不再更新。 本数据集收录瑞士按**日历年（calendar year）**统计的雪崩遇难人数数据，数据采集始于1937年年初。瑞士雪崩遇难人数统计的标准方式为按水文年（hydrological year）汇总，该水文年于每年9月30日结束，在水文年结束后，新数据将追加至现有数据集。 若您需要按水文年统计的年度数据，请前往以下链接下载：[https://www.envidat.ch/dataset/avalanche-fatalities-switzerland-1936] 数据集包含以下字段（按列及列标题）： - 年份 - 野外区域遇难人数（即旅行（tour）场景） - 滑雪区域周边地形遇难人数（即野雪滑道（offpiste）场景，指开放且已报备的滑雪道以外区域） - 包括滑雪道、公路、铁路在内的交通廊道（transportation.corridors）遇难人数 - 建筑物内/周边或定居点内遇难人数（即buildings场景） - 四类遇难人数总和 雪崩事故数据库指南中对上述四类场景的定义如下： 旅行（tour）场景： 活动包括野外滑雪、单板滑雪或雪鞋徒步旅行。 野雪滑道（offpiste）场景： 从滑雪区域进入，通常从滑雪缆车顶部出发，仅需短途徒步即可抵达。 交通廊道（transportation.corridors）（Techel等，2016）场景： 指在开放或临时封闭的交通廊道内出行、休闲的人员（如公路使用者、滑雪道上的滑雪者），以及在开放或封闭的交通廊道内作业的人员（如公路养护人员、专业救援队伍）。 建筑物（buildings）（Techel等，2016）场景： 指建筑物内部或紧邻建筑外部的人员，以及高海拔山地建筑工地上的作业人员。
