Metropolitan Melbourne Heat Vulnerability Index 2014

dataset: HEAT_VULNERABILITY_INDEX_2014
This dataset contains heat vulnerability index features represented by polygons as at 2014. Each polygon is based on 2016 ABS Statistical Area Level 1s (SA1). It's part of a collection of data from Plan Melbourne Action 91 initiative also referred to as Cooling & Greening or Vegetation and Urban heat mapping. https://mapshare.vic.gov.au/coolinggreening/

Description

Title
Metropolitan Melbourne Heat Vulnerability Index 2014 
Alternate title
HEAT_VULNERABILITY_INDEX_2014 
Purpose
This dataset has been produced to monitor areas of heat vulnerability of metro Melbourne region. The SA1 geography will assist users to perform spatial analysis to support policy and local decision making. Indicators of exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity were used for calculating overall heat vulnerability index. For details see `Interim report ¿ vegetation class and UHI.pdf¿. The heat vulnerability index (HVI) is represented by a scale of 1 to 5 based on quintiles, with 1 representing low exposure, low sensitivity or high adaptive capacity and 5 representing high exposure, high sensitivity or low adaptive capacity. An associated dataset on vegetation mapping, has been produced for the same time period. Search for vegetation mapping in Spatial Datamart or data.vic.gov.au.
