Description topics

Green spaces
The entrances to the green areas are established at the intersections between the roads and paths of the Top10NL (topographic map, both the line file and the road section file) in the green area and the outer boundary of the green area. For green areas without paths or roads (usually the smaller green areas and public gardens), the focus of the greenery has been taken.
Distance to recreational inland waters
The average distance of all inhabitants in an area to the nearest recreational inland waterway, calculated by road.

Recreational inland water:
Inland waterways used for recreation, such as recreational lakes, water in parks and public gardens, golf courses, marinas and rowing courses. The site has a size of at least 1 hectare. Only for marinas there is a lower limit of 0.5 hectares for the water part.
Traffic and transport
Distance to main road entrance
Access to a state or provincial road.
The National Road Database (a product of the Traffic and Transport Advisory Service of the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment) was used as the basis for the road entrances.

The average distance of all inhabitants in an area to the nearest entrance to a national or provincial road, calculated over the road.
