Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Basin of life — Hautes-Pyrénées

The basin of life is the smallest area in which people have access to the most common facilities and services. Its contours are defined in several stages, described below. Its main interest is to describe unpopulated spaces, i.e. the living basins built on urban units of less than 50,000 inhabitants, and thus better qualify the predominantly rural area. — For the record, the previous version of the basins of life is kept. This is the 2004 version, which differs significantly from the latest version of 2012. A notable difference in the 2012 life basins compared to the current life basins is the total disappearance of any concept of employment in their construction. Only the concept of accessibility to equipment is taken into account. Overall, the method chosen consists of the determination of service poles, their associated basin of life representing their area of influence. These differences and the methodology applied are developed in the document available below.
