Spatiotemporal historical datasets on micro-level for geocoded individuals in five Swedish parishes, 1813-1914

The datasets presented here enable historical longitudinal studies of micro-level geographic factors in a rural setting. These types of datasets are new, as historical demography studies have generally failed to properly include the micro-level geographic factors. Our datasets describe the geography over five Swedish rural parishes and a geocoded population (at the property unit level) for this area for the time period 1813-1914. The population is a subset of the Scanian Economic Demographic Database (SEDD). The geographic information includes the following feature types: property units, wetlands, buildings, roads and railroads. The property units and wetlands are stored in object-lifeline time representations (information about creation, changes and ends of objects are recorded in time), whereas the other feature types are stored as snapshots in time. Thus, the datasets present one of the first opportunities to study historical spatio-temporal patterns at the micro-level.本数据集支持乡村场景下微观尺度地理要素的历史纵向研究。此类数据集尚属首创，因既往历史人口学研究普遍未能合理纳入微观尺度地理要素。本数据集涵盖瑞典5个乡村教区的地理信息，以及该区域1813年至1914年间、以地块单元为统计粒度的经地理编码人口数据。该人口数据是斯科讷经济人口学数据库（Scanian Economic Demographic Database，SEDD）的子集。地理信息包含以下要素类型：地块单元、湿地、建筑物、道路与铁路。其中地块单元与湿地采用对象生命周期时序存储方式，记录对象的创建、变更与消亡的时序信息；其余要素类型则以时间快照形式存储。故此，本数据集为开展微观尺度历史时空格局研究提供了首批可行路径之一。
