Summer surface temperature and socioeconomic data of Dutch residential zones, 2014.

Data Brief

Landscape Architecture and Spatial Planning Group, Department of Environmental Sciences, Wageningen University & Research, P.O. Box 47, 6700 AA Wageningen, the Netherlands.

Published: August 2021

The dataset combines and aggregates two data types at the scale of 2400 residential zones ("wijken", in the terminology used by the Dutch Central Bureau for Statistics) of the Netherlands, 2014. The first type of data is summer surface temperature, the average of 40 dates in the summer of 2014, comprising the observations of four satellite images of four local overpassing times: MODIS Terra day (10:30 a.m.), MODIS Terra night (10:30 p.m.), MODIS Aqua day (1:30 p.m.), and MODIS Aqua night (1:30 a.m.). Second, ten variables describing the socioeconomic status of the residential zones: Western immigrants (%), Non-Western immigrants (%), Rental dwelling (%), Building age (median), Population age 65 or older (%), Population age 15-24 (%), Population age 14 or younger (%), Income per capita (x 1000 €), Property value (x 1000 €), Female minus male (%).

In the context of rapid urbanization, the proliferation of high-density residential zones and intricate infrastructure networks markedly amplifies a city's susceptibility to natural calamities, notably seismic events. Thus, a precise evaluation of a city's emergency capability for seismic events is imperative. This research proposes a novel and all-encompassing evaluation framework for indicators, grounded in crisis management theory, covering the entire spectrum of disaster mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.

Urbanisation presents complex challenges that necessitate sustainable solutions for equitable resource distribution, environmental protection and economic growth. Mixed land-use planning (MLUP) offers a promising approach by integrating residential, commercial and recreational spaces, thereby enhancing urban resilience and inclusivity. However, its comprehensive impact on Addis Ababa remains underexplored, highlighting a notable research gap.

Rapid urbanization has led to unplanned settlements near railway lines, exposing residents to continuous noise pollution with potential adverse effects on health. This study focuses on the environmental monitoring and assessment of railway noise pollution in urban areas and its impact on human health and daily activities. Noise levels were quantified across different residential zones using precise sound level meters, and a detailed human perception survey was conducted to assess the relationship between noise exposure, annoyance, and health disturbances.

Rapid industrialization and the influx of human resources have led to the establishment of industrial complexes near urban areas, exposing residents to various air pollutants. This has led to a decline in air quality, impacting neighboring residential areas adversely, which highlights the urgent need to monitor air pollution in these areas. Recent advancements in technology, such as Solar Occultation Flux (SOF) and Sky Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (SkyDOAS) used as remote sensing techniques and mobile extraction Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (MeFTIR) used as an in situ technique, now offer enhanced precision in estimating the pollutant emission flux and identifying primary sources.

Article Synopsis
  • Wabu Lake is an important part of the Yangtze River to Huai River Water Diversion Project, making it necessary to assess heavy metal contamination for ecological safety.
  • Samples collected from 24 locations in the lake revealed that while surface water levels of heavy metals were mostly below safety limits, sediment levels for several metals exceeded background values significantly.
  • The study identified severe health risks from metals like Pb, Cd, and Cr, with main contamination sources linked to nearby industrial, agricultural, and residential activities.
