# Datavindplaats Source Roadmap

This roadmap lists public Vlaamse Datavindplaats sources that are strong
additions for GeoIntel after the current Mol/Kempen foundation. Every source
must still receive a governed operator contract, source evidence retention,
CRS/unit validation and selection metrics before being shown as loaded data.

## P1 - Hydrology And Water Risk

### Vlaamse Hydrografische Atlas - Waterlopen

- Catalogus: https://www.vlaanderen.be/datavindplaats/catalogus/vlaamse-hydrografische-atlas-waterlopen-toestand-03-02-2026
- Service: https://www.vlaanderen.be/datavindplaats/catalogus/ogc-api-features-vlaamse-hydrografische-atlas-waterlopen
- Type: vector watercourse axes.
- Value: replace mixed GRB water context with authoritative watercourse
  network metrics: length by category, navigable/non-navigable classes,
  manager, basin/zone context and proximity to selected area.
- Caveat: line network is not water surface, discharge, depth or volume.

### Afstromingskaart - meervoudige stroomlijnen

- Catalogus: https://www.vlaanderen.be/datavindplaats/catalogus/afstromingskaart-meervoudige-stroomlijnen
- Type: 5 m GeoTIFF, EPSG:31370.
- Value: runoff-risk and drainage-context layer for drawn rectangles and
  parcels; useful beside DHMV and VMM flood scenarios.
- Caveat: modelled potential flow pattern, not observed water movement.

### Overstromingsgevoelige gebieden pluviaal/fluviaal

- Catalogus: https://www.vlaanderen.be/datavindplaats/catalogus/overstromingsgevoelige-gebieden-pluviaal
- Type: watertoets/informatieplicht map layer.
- Value: policy/legal flood-sensitivity overlay complementary to the current
  VMM modelled water-depth scenario rasters.
- Caveat: do not merge with VMM depth rasters into one metric; it answers a
  different policy question.

## P2 - Soil, Infiltration And Erosion

### Digitale bodemkaart van het Vlaams Gewest: bodemtypes

- Catalogus: https://www.vlaanderen.be/datavindplaats/catalogus/digitale-bodemkaart-van-het-vlaams-gewest-bodemtypes
- Type: vector polygons, EPSG:31370.
- Value: soil texture/drainage/profile metrics by selected rectangle, strong
  context for forest, agriculture, runoff and suitability analysis.
- Caveat: based on historical field data from 1949-1971; current drainage can
  differ.

### Potentiele bodemerosiekaart per perceel

- Catalogus: https://www.vlaanderen.be/datavindplaats/catalogus/potentiele-bodemerosiekaart-per-perceel-2023
- Type: parcel-level erosion sensitivity.
- Value: erosion risk by selected area, especially useful with agricultural
  parcels, slope/DHMV and runoff.
- Caveat: potential erosion modelling; not observed erosion damage.

### Fysische systeemkaart

- Catalogus: https://www.vlaanderen.be/datavindplaats/catalogus/fysische-systeemkaart
- Type: generalized physical-system zones.
- Value: quick landscape-system interpretation: soil, relief, hydrological
  setting, infiltration/kwel sensitivity.
- Caveat: coarser interpretive layer, not parcel-scale evidence.

## P3 - Spatial Planning And Built Environment

### Ruimtebeslag - Vlaanderen - toestand 2025

- Catalogus: https://www.vlaanderen.be/datavindplaats/catalogus/ruimtebeslag-vlaanderen-toestand-2025
- Type: 10 m GeoTIFF, EPSG:31370.
- Value: built-up/settlement pressure metrics and evolution, complementary to
  land-use and GRB building footprints.
- Caveat: settlement-area concept, not individual building footprint.

### Open ruimte - Vlaanderen - toestand 2022

- Catalogus: https://www.vlaanderen.be/datavindplaats/catalogus/open-ruimte-vlaanderen-toestand-2022
- Type: 10 m GeoTIFF, EPSG:31370.
- Value: open-space share per selection and regional fragmentation analysis.
- Caveat: derived from land-use/space-occupation/core logic; keep method
  separate from raw land-use classes.

### Kernen, linten, verspreide bebouwing - toestand 2022

- Catalogus: https://www.vlaanderen.be/datavindplaats/catalogus/kernen-linten-verspreide-bebouwing-in-vlaanderen-kernen-toestand-2022
- Type: vector typology.
- Value: readable urban morphology: core/lint/dispersed-building context for
  Mol and Kempen.
- Caveat: algorithmic morphology; not a legal planning boundary.

### Verstedelijkt, randstedelijk en landelijk Vlaanderen - toestand 2022

- Catalogus: https://www.vlaanderen.be/datavindplaats/catalogus/verstedelijkt-randstedelijk-en-landelijk-vlaanderen-indeling-op-basis-van-statistische-sectoren-toestand-2022
- Type: statistical-sector typology.
- Value: high-level area profile and comparison between municipalities.
- Caveat: analysis framework, not direct zoning policy.

## P4 - Accessibility And Services

### Knooppuntwaarde per ha - toestand 2022

- Catalogus: https://www.vlaanderen.be/datavindplaats/catalogus/knooppuntwaarde-per-ha-toestand-2022
- Type: 1 ha raster/grid score.
- Value: public-transport accessibility score for selected areas.
- Caveat: modelled accessibility score, not live timetable reliability.

### Totaal voorzieningenniveau - toestand 2022

- Catalogus: https://www.vlaanderen.be/datavindplaats/catalogus/totaal-voorzieningenniveau-toestand-2022
- Type: 1 ha raster/grid score.
- Value: services proximity score for living-quality and spatial-development
  analysis.
- Caveat: score is method-dependent and should be shown with source method.

### Synthese knooppuntwaarde en voorzieningenniveau - toestand 2022

- Catalogus: https://www.vlaanderen.be/datavindplaats/catalogus/synthese-knooppuntwaarde-en-voorzieningenniveau-toestand-2022
- Type: synthesized spatial-opportunity classification.
- Value: simple end-user layer for "where is development/accessibility strong?"
- Caveat: derived classification; keep underlying component scores available.

## Recommended Implementation Order

1. VHA waterlopen plus afstromingskaart: highest immediate GIS value and
   directly improves water/runoff analysis without pretending to know volume.
2. Bodemkaart plus potential erosion: unlocks soil, drainage, infiltration and
   agriculture/nature interpretation.
3. Ruimtebeslag/open ruimte/kernen-linten: makes map selection much more
   understandable for end users and supports evolution narratives.
4. Knooppuntwaarde/voorzieningenniveau/synthese: adds planning-quality context
   after the physical/environmental layers are stable.
