Coastal ports and airports distribution map in the Belt and Road region (2018)

The data include the coastal ports and airport distribution in the Belt and Road region. The data are from the Natural Earth global port and airport data. The data are cut according to the standard map of the 65 countries along the Belt and road, and further corrected, then the distribution of the ports and airports in the area along the B&R is obtained. This data is mainly one to analyze the B&R area's important spatial layout and main characteristics of the transportation facilities, and to get other attributes data of port and airport in the following research, including the throughput of different port cargo types, the incoming and outgoing throughput, the number of docks and berths, the number of passengers on the airport, the data of the flights and routes of ports and airports, we can get further understanding of the spatial differentiation of the distribution of ports and airports in the B&R region.

本数据集涵盖“一带一路（Belt and Road）”区域的沿海港口与机场分布信息。数据源自Natural Earth全球港口与机场数据集。本数据集以“一带一路”沿线65国标准地图为基准进行裁剪，并经进一步校正，最终得到“B&R”沿线区域的港口与机场分布数据。本数据集主要用于分析“B&R”区域交通设施的重要空间布局与核心特征，同时可为后续研究获取港口与机场的多类属性数据，涵盖不同货类港口吞吐量、港口货物进出吞吐量、码头泊位数量、机场旅客吞吐量以及港口与机场的航班及航线数据等，借此可进一步深化对“B&R”区域港口与机场分布空间分异特征的认知。
