Natura 2000 sites

Protected areas from the Ministry of Environment (YPEN) that overlap the municipal boundary. Names come from the EEA database.

How the numbers were counted

Fires: the count covers EFFIS burnt areas (roughly 30 hectares and above) whose reference point, the mean of the outline's vertices, lies inside the municipality. Our data holds dates from 23 Mar 2016 to 12 Sept 2026. Smaller fires do not appear.

Natura 2000: a site counts as overlapping when a sampled point lies in both polygons or at least three vertices of one lie inside the other.

Zone prices: the 2021 objective-system zones whose reference point lies in the municipality. They are tax values, not market prices.
