2. Types of areas Concentrated/ compact areas
Small territorial enclave and Clearly Character of high intensive use
Criteria of Distance between building: 75 meters
Scattered (but uniform) areas
Mainly larger area with character of uniform scattered leisure buildings
Outdoor activity will make a great part of the area use, but will have the characteristic as a multifunctional area (livestock, pasture, forest…etc)
Criteria of Distance between building: 500 meters

3. Data source of buildings
“Cadaster” is the Norwegians official register of grounded properties, Addresses and Buildings which is administered of Norwegian Mapping Authority
“SSB-Matrikkelen” is the statistics version
The statistic include:
All detached private owned leisure- buildings with codes 161, 162 or 163
Possible supplementary statistic?
Buildings under Hotel and Restaurant (office and industrial building);
Apartment with code 523 (apartment witch often is owner-tenant flats and used as leisure buildings)
Rental buildings with code: 511, 512, 519, 521, 522, (523), 524 and 529

4. Method: Calculate areas
Buffer the decided distance from leisure buildings
Leisure buildings forming whole areas
All the leisure buildings which belong to the same area get add a ID (which is unique for each whole area)
The areas get categorized by order of size, after the amount of leisure buildings within each area:
< 5
5 – 24
25 – 49
> 50

5. Example: Buffer of buildings

6. Data source and Method to Define boundary
Land use and land resource Map lay the foundation for define the boundary to leisure areas
Method:
”Overlay” leisure- buildings and Land use and land resource Map
Select Land use and land resource which;
- has a leisure building
- has the code as leisure area
To define boundary: the selected Land use and land resource data buffers out and in with the decided distance
Some areas will split in these processes, therefore we have to aggregate areas which contain leisure buildings with same ID

7. Example: Buffer of Land use and land resource Map

9. Statistics Number of leisure areas by size
Area of leisure areas by size
Number of leisure buildings within an area by size
