Relation:: Parent data set: Corine land cover 2000 (CLC2000) 100 m - version 5/2005
Temporal coverage:: 2001

Geographical coverage:
Tags:: geospatial data | Corine | population
Scale of the data set:: 1:100000

Methodology:: Model assumed: Ycm : density of population for land cover type c in commune m. Uc coefficients for each land cover type. Wm : adjustment coefficient for each commune to ensure that the total population in each commune matches the administrative data. - No stratification of communes has been used for this version. - The coefficients for CLC classes are provisional. They correspond as order of magnitude to the estimates made for the disggregation of the 1991 data. Improvements are still needed. - CLC recoded into 9 classes, following also the studies made on the 1991 data.
Coordinate reference system:: EPSG:3035

Additional information

Each pixel value is the estimated density in inhab/km2. Integer values.
The method for the disaggregation is the result of a study contract for Eurostat (FP5).
Geographical coverage: missing islands far from the continent (e.g. Canary Islands and Azores) and some other communes.
