Characteristics of the cadastral parcels - Concentration of cadastral income
Characteristics of cadastral parcels - Concentration of cadastral income corresponds to the dataset measuring the concentration of cadastral income for parcels of a housing-like nature. This dataset is composed of seven classes. The first class shows, at the national level, for each category of parcels dedicated to housing, the number of parcels and the total cadastral income of the parcels by cadastral income bracket. The second class includes this information at the level of the three regions. The following classes do the same at the level of provinces, arrondissements, municipalities, cadastral divisions and statistical sectors. The dataset can be freely downloaded as a zipped CSV.
Steuer- und Registrierungsgebührensstatistik
The licence is fully available in French (https://finances.belgium.be/sites/default/files/Licence_plan_opendata_FR.PDF) or in Dutch (https://financien.belgium.be/sites/default/files/Licentie_plan_opendata_NL.PDF).
Characteristics of the cadastral parcels - Concentration of the cadastral income is compiled from the contents of the reference database for the land register data. It records, for each parcel, its owners, any exempted use they make of it, its cadastral income (i.e. the annual net rental value of the property on January 1st 1975, the reference year for property tax purposes) and its surface area. These variables are determined, after investigation, by the agents of the FPS Finance at the time of the creation of the parcel, after a significant modification of the parcel or after a possible control carried out by the FPS Finance, in particular following the registration of a real right.
National wastewater-based epidemiological surveillance of influenza (flu)
The national wastewater-based epidemiological surveillance of influenza (commonly known as flu) monitors the influenza presence in several wastewater treatment plants across Belgium. This dataset contains the results per treatment plant since the beginning of the surveillance in January 2024. The results consist of the influenza concentrations over time as well as other data needed for the interpretations such as the flow rates of the treatment plants and the population covered.

Environmental Health Determinant Measure
The surveillance started in January 2024 for the whole country. Samples are collected every week at each selected wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) using 24-hour volume proportional or time proportional auto-samplers. Samples are stored at 4°C and analyzed within 24 hours. The samples from the Walloon region and Brussels-Capital Region and the provinces of West-Vlanderen, Oost-Vlanderen and Vlaams-Brabant are analyzed by the Foodborne pathogens unit of Sciensano while samples from the provinces of Antwerpen and Limburg are analyzed by the Microbiology, Parasitology and Hygiene Laboratory of the University of Antwerp. The two laboratories use a harmonized protocol. After concentration and RNA extraction, the samples are analyzed by RT-dPCR. Two gene sequences are analysed, one targeting the matrix protein gene for influenza A and one targeting the hemagglutinin gene for influenza B. The quality of the results is checked and validated at the laboratory level. If the quality is insufficient, additional analyzes are performed. Once received by the data manager, the laboratory results undergo a second validation before being integrated in the database. The 24 hours-representative flow rates of each WWTP are collected using flowmeters and are provided by the wastewater agencies (Hydria and Aquiris for the WWTPs of Brussels, Société Publique de Gestion de l'Eau (SPGE) for the WWTPs of Wallonia and Aquafin for the WWTPs of Flanders). Domestic inhabitant equivalents (IE) are used to estimate the population coverage of each WWTP. IE are based on several data sources (population data, building type data, connection to the network and WWTPs geographical coverage data). IE are provided by SPGE in Wallonia and by the Vlaamse Milieumaatschappij (VMM) in Flanders. In Brussels the population is estimated based on the data provided by Statbel. The data provided by the wastewater agencies and VMM are validated by the data manager before being integrated in the database.

distance matrix between the centers of municipalities
This dataset contains a matrix of distances between all Belgian municipality centres as defined in the AdminVector product. The distance is in km and is rounded to an integer.

The distance matrix is the result of a calculation using the road network built with TomTom multinet data in the ArcGIS Pro Origin-Destination cost matrix tool. The distance between a point representing a commune centre and the road network is less than 170 metres. The calculation takes into account one-way roads and avoids special roads such as pedestrian zones, roads under construction, exceptional transport, ...
ROB Database of Absolute and Relative Gravity Measurements
The Belgian gravimetric database consists of 69,000 measurements, made using relative spring gravimeters. This database is managed by the Royal Observatory of Belgium since 1925. Two superconducting gravimeters measure elusive gravity variations at the stations of Membach and Rochefort, with a precision better than 1E-10 of gravity at the surface of the Earth (g). Since 1996, an absolute gravimeter performs repeated gravity measurements at selected sites, with an accuracy of 1E-9 g.

The measurements are performed and processed by the Royal Observatory of Belgium and the National Geographical Institute. The data base is continuously completed with ongoing measurements.

Area management/restriction/regulation zones and reporting units
Top25Map is a digital version of the NGI’s topographic cartography on a scale of 1:25 000. These images result from the symbolisation of the objects and themes which are present in the topo-geographic inventory of the Belgian territory (ITGI), which is built and kept up-to-date by the NGI. Top25Map contains all usual themes of the NGI’s cartographic products (land use, transport, hydrography, buildings and constructions, relief,…), as well as the map lettering and the toponyms. The Top25Map cartography is appropriate to hiking.

This dataset contains the administrative units for the organisation of elections, within their boundaries as established by Annex I of the Electoral Code.
Administrative, statistical and cadastral units
The boundaries of the electoral cantons were digitised by the National Geographical Institute in accordance with the definition in Annex I of the Electoral Code. For this purpose, NGI used the authentic administrative data of the FPS Finance.
Dredged material disposal sites in the Belgian Part of the North Sea
The Royal Decree of 22 May 2019 establishing a marine spatial plan defines in its Art. 11. five dredged material disposal sites (Dredged material disposal site S1, Art. 11 § 1.1°; Dredged material disposal site S2, Art. 11 § 1.2°; Dredged material disposal site Bruggen en Wegen Oostende, Art. 11 § 1.3°; Dredged material disposal site Bruggen en Wegen Zeebrugge Oost, Art. 11 § 1.4°; Dredged material disposal site Bruggen en Wegen Nieuwpoort, Art. 11 § 1.5°). Futhermore, additional zones are defined for the future replacement of dredging areas as defined in Art. 11 §3, §5, §7 and §9. It replaces the 2014 Marine Spatial Plan, which is included for completeness. The Royal Decree of 20 March 2014 establishing a marine spatial plan defines in its Art. 9. five dredged material disposal sites (Dredged material disposal site S1, Art. 9 § 6.1°; Dredged material disposal site S2, Art. 9 § 6.2°; Dredged material disposal site Bruggen en Wegen Oostende, Art. 9 § 6.3°; Dredged material disposal site Bruggen en Wegen Zeebrugge Oost, Art. 9 § 6.4°; Dredged material disposal site Bruggen en Wegen Nieuwpoort, Art. 9 § 6.5°).
