Data from the European Social Survey in the Context of Climate and Air Quality in Cities

Through our work in Science Project 9 of EOSC Future WP6.3 we demonstrate that relevant environmental data and data on citizens' values, attitudes, behaviors and involvement can be combined for social, political and scientific analysis.

In the project we are combining data from the European Social Survey with air quality data from the European Environmental Agency and climate related data from Copernicus ERA5. Over 50 indicator variables have been produced by social scientists and environmental specialists in collaboration, allowing researchers to study the impact of similar environmental factors on urban citizens attitudes and behaviors.

The project uses the metadata standards DDI-Lifecycle and DDI-Cross domain integration to document data from the project and make them FAIR.

Particular focus has been put on the provenance of the integrated data we provide through the project, showing how the data were computed. A provenance description prototype application has been developed to make the processes used to fully transparent and understandable for people and computers.

This poster presentation will give an overview of the work done in the project and the related deliverables.
