Repo for open geodata required for specific challenges of MakeZurich
- Forest Area of the Canton Zürich: ktzh_forestarea_groundcover_a.zip
Actually, I couldn't find a complete network dataseta of all existing pathes within the forests. So, there are actually two different data sources:
-
- Ground cover data: where it's possible to extract
-
the "Forest Paths" (befestigt.Strasse_Weg.Waldstrasse) and
-
the "Bicycle and Pedestrian Paths" (befestigt.Strasse_Weg.Velo_Fussweg). Those paths exist also outside of the forests of course. But I haven't cut them already with the forest borders...
-
Both groundcover areas can be found in stzh_foreststreets_pedestrian-nd-bikepathes_groundcover-a.zip. They can be distincted by the attribute "art_text".
-
I've added an additional file, that involves the same data +- 5 KM around the borders of the City of Zurich extended_stzh_foreststreets_pedestrian-nd-bikepathes_groundcover-a.zip
-
- Forest development plan from 2011 (Waldentwicklungsplan 2011) which contains:
- hiking network of the Canton Zürich ktzh_hiking_network_wep10.zip and
- horse riding paths of the Canton Zürich ktzh_ridingpathes_wep10.zip
--> Both are not containing all the existing forest pathes. I don't know anything about the definition of these pathes...
WMS (Web Map Service) and WMTS (Web Map Tile Service) are interfaces for retrieving geodata as raster data. With the WMTS the cards are divided into pre-generated "tiles" or "tiles". An image is loaded significantly faster by a WMTS service than by a WMS service. If you've never worked with wms/wmts before, just check these simple Intros on how to use them (sorry in German only): https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/portal/de/index/ogd/werkstatt/wms_wmts.html . Of course, you'll find a lot of other descriptions on the web ;)
