Distance from International Airports Data
Description
Using ArcView a value was assigned to each cell corresponding to the distance from the nearest international airport. The view above shows a classification of these distance values also created using ArcView.Source=Bartholomew data
Comments
- Large population densities are generally found nearby international airports.
- Distance from local airports was also considered as a data layer although at present this has not been included. The reason for this was that strong evidence of a major difference in definition of local airport across Europe existed. It is hoped that models developed in the future should be able to cope with regional variations in the classification of geographical features in the source data and that local airports may be included in this layer.
- Transport infrastructure data layers are likely to be good indicators of where many people live.
