Data for Urban Ecological Hazard-Risk Assessment in Delhi-National Capital Region

The given dataset was used for computing the ecological hazard risk and vulnerability of Delhi-NCR region using 13 contributing variables, such as built-up density (Landsat; 2020), local climate zones (WUDAPT; 2022), green cover density (Landsat; 2020), rate of built-up growth (Landsat; from 1973 to 2020), loss of green cover (Landsat; 1973 to 2020), land surface temperature (Landsat; May 2022), PCA of biochemical and biophysical variables (Sentinel 2A; May 2022), road density, drainage density, slope and elevation (SRTM DEM), population growth, and population density (GHSL).

All the above were prepared using 200x200 m grids and resampled at 10 m spatial resolution. Utilizing the fuzzy-AHP model, all the thematic layers were rescaled based on the weights, where a lower value of the variable indicates lower susceptibility and vice versa.
