Description topics
- Green areas
- The entrances to the green areas are established at the intersections between the roads and paths of the Top10NL (topographic map, both the line file and the road section file) in the green area and the outer boundary of the green area. For green areas without paths or roads (usually the smaller green areas and public gardens), the focus of the greenery has been taken.
In 2008 and before, only the line file of the topographic map was used and green areas without paths or roads are not included. This mainly results in a trend breach in open natural terrain.
From reporting year 2017, the method for calculating the proximity of green has changed: among other things, only greenery with a minimum surface area of 1 hectare is now included. On average, this method change makes virtually no difference for the whole of the Netherlands: compared to 2015, the distance to greenery has increased by 0.1 km on average. But at a local level (particularly on the Wadden Islands) the differences can sometimes amount to several tens of kilometers.
Proximity to green spaces is derived from the Land Use statistics. The most recent edition of this statistic is reporting year 2017. The next edition is 2020, which will be released at the end of 2023. This means that proximity to green spaces will be published during 2024. From reporting year 2020 onwards, the Land Use statistics will be published annually and so will the proximity to green spaces.- Public green
- Terrain used as a park or public garden, for daytime recreation, nature or as a forest. The site can be privately or publicly accessible. The site is at least one hectare in size.
- Distance to recreational terrain
- Terrain used for daytime recreation such as zoos, marinas, petting zoos, open-air museums, picnic areas and playing fields (other than parks or public gardens) and amusement parks.
The average distance of all inhabitants in an area to the nearest recreational area, calculated by road.
- Semi-public green
- Terrain used as a sports field, allotment garden, for residential recreation or as a cemetery. The site can be privately or publicly accessible.
- Distance to recreational area
- Terrain used for a recreational stay of several days, such as camping, bungalow parks, youth hostels and associated parking spaces. The site has a size of at least 1 hectare.
The average distance of all inhabitants in an area to the nearest recreational area, calculated by road.
- Distance to recreational inland waters
- Inland waterways used for recreation, such as recreational lakes, water in parks and public gardens, golf courses, marinas and rowing courses. The site has a size of at least 1 hectare. Only for marinas there is a lower limit of 0.5 hectares for the water part.
The average distance of all inhabitants in an area to the nearest recreational inland waterway, calculated by road.
- Leisure and culture
- Recreation
- Distance to sauna
- The average distance of all inhabitants in an area to the nearest sauna, calculated by road.
- Distance to tanning salon
- The average distance of all inhabitants in an area to the nearest tanning salon, calculated by road.
