Danger level in relation to rail transport of dangerous goods for each affected municipality

Thematic coverage of the municipalities of Catalonia in which the maximum danger level in relation to the transport of dangerous goods by rail is represented. The danger level takes into account, apart from the flow of dangerous goods, the type of substances transported. The average data on the transport of dangerous goods from the last four years has been used with the aim of obtaining more stable data over time and minimizing the current variations derived from the socioeconomic context of each specific year. The danger may come from a section of the railway network that crosses the municipal area or by a section that, without crossing the territory, is at a distance equal to or less than 500 meters from the municipal area.

OnLine resource: Viewer of the Civil Protection Map of Catalonia
Viewer that allows municipalities and citizens to find out from the Interior website: 1- The territorial distribution of the different risks; 2- The civil protection plans that each municipality has the obligation or recommendation to prepare; 3- Which municipalities have drawn up the corresponding municipal civil protection plans and which ones are pending; 4- Municipalities that have civil protection volunteer associations. The map allows forecasting and risk prevention.

Name of measure: Compliance with INSPIRE requirements (data)

Evaluation method description: The data of this dataset do not aim to achieve compliance with INSPIRE regulations. For this reason, its conformity is not evaluated and it is declared not conformant compliant by default.

Domain consistency

Name of measure: Compliance with INSPIRE requirements (metadata)

Evaluation method description: The compliance of the metadata is evaluated using the "INSPIRE Reference Validator" web tool. The metadata is considered correct when the only errors reported are related with the main language of the metadata file. These errors are due to the fact that Catalan is not included in the list of official languages of the European Union.

Conformance result

Explanation: Conformant

Pass: Yes

Statement: Coverage created from the municipality layer of the Cartographic and Geological Institute of Catalonia, in which those municipalities that intersect with the representation layer of the buffers (500 meters) generated around the sections of the rail network with level are identified. of danger due to the transport of dangerous goods. Those municipalities that are affected by more than one section and by different roads with different levels of danger adopt the maximum danger level.
