The climate adaptation indicator calculates a score based on whether there is heat stress and if there is enough green space and water storage in a neighborhood. The 'cool enough' status is based on the Heat stress Overlay, while green space and water storage are determined by their ratio to the total area.
This indicator is useful for projects in which (for example):
- livability plays an important part
- different spatial plans are compared
This Excel indicator can be downloaded from the Public GeoShare. Read on to find out more about the indicator's calculation method and how to set it up in your project.
Indicator panel
The indicator panel (see the image on the right) shows in a table per Neighborhood:
- The neighborhood name
- If the neighborhood is cool enough
- If the neighborhood is green enough
- If there is enough water storage in the neighborhood
Calculation
Whether a neighborhood is cool enough is determined by the ratio of areas with an average temperature deviation of +0.5 degrees to the total built environment size. Greenery is calculated by comparing the area of green space (terrain types: grassland, open land, and dunes) to the total land area. A neighborhood requires 20% green space to achieve a greenery score of 100%. This percentage can be changed in the Excel file of the indicator. Whether the neighborhood has enough water storage is calculated by comparing the amount of m² water terrain (such as Waterbody and Waterway) to the amount of m² total land. An area requires 30% water terrain to achieve a water storage score of 100%. This percentage can also be changed in the Excel file.
Score
The score is represented as a progress bar, with a scale from 0 to 100%. This is the average score for coolness, greenery, and water storage. Determine if you want to calculate the absolute or relative score. The higher the score, the more climate adaptive the neighborhoods in the project are.
Additional configurations
To use this indicator, add the Heat Stress Overlay to your project as follows:
- Select in the editor Current Situation from the ribbon
- Hover over Overlays in the ribbon
- Select the Heat Stress Overlay from the drop down menu
- Hover over the Calculation Cloud button and choose Update to update your project.
