Home - PDOK. Untitled. Accessibility to Cities - MAP. The ease with which people are able to connect with the services, institutions, and individuals supportive of socioeconomic success, good health, and overall wellbeing can ultimately separate communities that thrive from those left behind. During the last few decades, advances in electronic and online communications (e.g., internet or mobile-based banking) have transformed social services that historically have been out-of-reach for more remote populations. Nevertheless, such gains cannot fully offset the disadvantages posed by persistent inequalities in physical access to resources and opportunities that are primarily concentrated in urban centres. In the present study, we quantify and validate global accessibility to high-density urban centres at a resolution of 1×1 kilometre for 2015, as measured by travel time. #Principal Collaborations This work was done in collaboration with the Google, the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the EU, and the University of Twente (Netherlands).

Datasets on various types of institutions | Collective Action Newsletter. The data collection of this project does not primarily consist of digitizing documents (via scanning) but of the processing of a range of documents, that reside in archives, primary and secondary literature. The researcher can have access to complete databases on a number of parameters right away. In some cases we also provide scans of the original documents, by way of example.
The type of documents that has been be used differs from country to country: some countries have preserved for example useful surveys of guilds, in other cases the data has been drawn from a number of archival documents and published sources. The geographic scope of the data collection varies from institution to institution. Please note that many of the databases mentioned here are still under construction.
