Nature Network Netherlands: Nature Adaptation Areas in Groningen Province

Nature adaptation areas within the Dutch Nature Network (NNN) as defined by the Environmental Ordinance of the Province of Groningen. The dataset likely contains geospatial boundaries for areas where hydrological conditions or feasibility may prompt authorities to adjust or cancel these zones. Data is provided by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations under a public domain license.

Use Cases

• Map conservation zones based on the defined nature adaptation area boundaries.
• Analyze potential land-use changes based on the described hydrological and achievability criteria.
• Model policy scenarios based on the rules for converting areas to 'NNN management adjustment areas'.

Strengths

• Data originates from an authoritative government source (Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties).
• Legal basis for the zones is explicitly cited (Environmental Ordinance of Groningen).
• Available in standard geospatial service formats (WMS, WFS).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and spatial resolution are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
