Household accessibility to heat refuges: Residential air conditioning, public cooled space, and walkability
Access to air conditioned space has been identified as a critical protective element that can mitigate the adverse health effects of heat waves. However, there is limited knowledge of where this resource exists in cities. While many cities have deployed networks of sponsored cooling centers their location is likely to be inadequately informed with respect to the location of existing resources. This study explores the distribution of in-home air-conditioning and household access to public cooling resources in Maricopa County, AZ. There are significant variations in the distribution of private and public air conditioned space and there are areas where access to these spaces is limited which could increase health risks during periods of extreme heat.
Ohio Public Land Survey (PLS) Witness Tree GIS Shapefile
The United States Public Land Survey (PLS) divided land into one square mile units, termed sections. Surveyors used trees to locate section corners and other locations of interest (witness trees). As a result, a systematic ecological dataset was produced with regular sampling over a large region of the United States, beginning in Ohio in 1786 and continuing westward. We digitized and georeferenced archival hand drawn maps of these witness trees for 27 counties in Ohio. This dataset consists of a GIS point shapefile with 11,925 points located at section corners, recording 26,028 trees (up to four trees could be recorded at each corner). We retain species names given on each archival map key, resulting in 70 unique species common names. PLS records were obtained from hand-drawn archival maps of original witness trees produced by researchers at The Ohio State University in the 1960’s. Scans of these maps are archived as “The Edgar Nelson Transeau Ohio Vegetation Survey” at The Ohio State University: http://hdl.handle.net/1811/64106. The 27 counties are: Adams, Allen, Auglaize, Belmont, Brown, Darke, Defiance, Gallia, Guernsey, Hancock, Lawrence, Lucas, Mercer, Miami, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Noble, Ottawa, Paulding, Pike, Putnam, Scioto, Seneca, Shelby, Williams, Wyandot.

Dataset related to publication "In silico evaluation of the thermal stress induced by MRI switched gradient fields in patients with metallic hip implant"
<p>The datasets reported in the figures of the article "In silico evaluation of the thermal stress induced by MRI switched gradient fields in patients with metallic hip implant", published on Phys. Med. Biol. 64 245006, 2019.</p> <p>This work focuses on the in silico evaluation of the energy deposed by MRI switched gradient fields<br> in bulk metallic implants and the consequent temperature increase in the surrounding tissues. The results show that the gradient coils can generate local increases of temperature up to some kelvin when acting without radiofrequency excitation. Hence, their contribution in general should not be disregarded when evaluating patients’ safety.</p>

Crowdsourcing public perceptions of urban green space quality: A case study of Rembrandt park in Amsterdam
<p><strong><em>City-dwellers are realizing the benefits of green spaces and are flocking to urban parks. City planners face the challenge of ensuring that urban green spaces are functional for all citizens. To make informed choices they need the right information and that is where the Mijn Park app can help. </em></strong></p> <p>Research shows that when considering the social functions of urban green spaces, quality is just as important as quantity. It is easy enough to map how much green spaces there are, but how do we measure their quality? How do city planners ensure that the city’s green areas are attractive, accessible and inclusive – for everyone? The Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in collaboration with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis developed Mijn Park, a mobile application that will help city planners do just that. As part of the LandSense Citizen Observatory, the ‘Mijn Park’ (My Park) app asks respondents to go to several locations in a park and give subjective responses to those locations. They are then further questioned about how they use the whole park and how much they would like to see certain changes made in the park. This information provides information that can help to inform decisions about any renovations or improvements to the park.</p> <p>A pilot campaign was conducted in the summer of 2018 in Rembrandt park in Amsterdam and insights from the citizen-driven observations were shared with the Department of Planning and Sustainability of Amsterdam.</p> <p>This dataset includes responses and photographs collected by 129 unique volunteers providing 377 observations in select locations across Rembrandt Park.

Exploring and promoting green urban spaces in Vienna - can data about public perception help drive change?
<p>Citizen Science has become a vital source for data collection when the spatial and temporal extent of a project makes it too expensive to send experts into the field. However, involving citizens can go further than that – participatory projects focusing on subjective parameters can fill in the gap between local community needs and stakeholder approaches to tackle key social and environmental issues.</p> <p>The Horizon 2020 project, <a href="https://landsense.eu/">LandSense</a>, is building a modern citizen observatory for Land Use & Land Cover (LULC) monitoring, by engaging citizens to transform current approaches to environmental decision making. Citizen Observatories are community-driven mechanisms to complement existing environmental monitoring systems and can be fostered through mobile and web applications, allowing citizens to play a key role in environmental monitoring. Within this project, the City Oases mobile application, focused on the city of Vienna, has been developed that aims not only to stimulate civic engagement to monitor changes within the urban environment, but also to enable users to drive improvements by providing city planners with information about the public perception of urban spaces. <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iiasa.cityoases">City Oases</a> was launched in March 2019.</p> <p>Where are the best places for a romantic date? Where can you skate? Where is it cool on a hot summer’s day? Open urban spaces can be used in many ways. Pick an activity in the CityOases app and we show the spots where you can do them, including the rating of previous users and pictures from the location. If you visit the spot you can rate it as well based on a few selected subjective criteria. If you know a cool spot that is openly accessible but not marked in our map yet? Just add it with a list of activities and some pictures. Additionally, you can input your perceptions including whether it is noisy, clean or if the infrastructure is attractive. The picture module within the application promotes you to take photos in the four cardinal directions. Users can search for specific activities, visit one of the points indicated on the map and then evaluate this point.</p> <p>Time period of data collection: 19/03/2019 - 10/11/2019</p> <p>Types of contributors: General Public, Students<br> Number of contributors: 50<br> Number of observations: 788<br> Number of photos: 1846</p> <p>Associated files: City Oases Vienna 2019.csv, City Oases Vienna 2019.geoJSON, City Oases Vienna 2019 Attributes.csv</p> <p>This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International.
