SRCE 2014 Alsace: Urbanised Areas for Regional Ecological Coherence

Alsace's 2014 Regional Ecological Coherence Scheme includes a spatial layer mapping urbanised areas at a 1:100,000 scale. The layer locates housing, services, infrastructure, industrial zones, and agricultural holdings. The Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières produced this dataset, last updated in March 2019.

Use Cases

• Model urban sprawl based on mapped housing and service areas.
• Assess ecological corridor fragmentation based on infrastructure and industrial zone locations.
• Plan regional development based on the distribution of public utility spaces like schools and hospitals.
• Analyze land-use conflicts between urbanised areas and agricultural holdings.

Strengths

• Spatial information produced at a consistent 1:100,000 scale.
• Covers multiple urban functions including infrastructure, industry, and public utilities.

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-03-22 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
