WMS service. Classification of the degree of urbanisation of the Andalusian population in statistical mesh

Node of the Institute of Statistics and Cartography of Andalusia. Ministry of Economic Transformation, Industry, Knowledge and Universities Junta de Andalucía. WMS service of the classification of the degree of urbanisation of the Andalusian population in statistical mesh in cells of 1kmx1km and 250mx250m elaborated by the Institute of Statistics and Cartography of Andalusia, is the first step to obtain information on the degree of urbanisation (DEGURBA) of the territory of Andalusia. It is a regular grid of cells of 1 km x 1 km to which, from the georeferencing of the Andalusian population carried out in the spatial distribution of the population for January 2020, the methodology described by EUROSTAT has been applied to assign the typology of cells referring to levels 1 and 2 of the degree of urbanisation, based on criteria of geographical contiguity, density and population thresholds, following the methodological manual “Applying the Degree of Urbanisation — 2021 edition”. It also shows the regular mesh of uniform cells of 250 m side with population (following the INSPIRE directive) and aims to debug the previous mesh of 1kmx1km removing from each cell of 1kmx1km those cells of 250 m side integrated in the cell and that do not contain population according to the population mesh of the reference year. In addition, in order to analyse the evolution of the population intensity and its degree of urbanisation from a more temporal perspective, the level 1 of the degree of urbanisation for the year 2002 has been calculated. The website of the Institute of Statistics and Cartography of Andalusia offers a visualisation service: “Classification of the Degree of Urbanisation” that allows its interactive consultation https://www.juntadeandalucia.es/institutodeestadisticaycartografia/gradourbanizacion/index.htm
