Green Blue Veining (GBDA)
Data-driven insight into green-blue networks in the Netherlands.

How do you gain reliable insight into the quality and coherence of green-blue structures? For policymakers, managers and advisers, this is often complex. Manual inventories are time-consuming and lead to fragmented results. Meanwhile, the need for reliable data for policy, management and subsidy applications is growing.
The Green-blue passage analysis (GBDA) from NEO makes ecological interlacing measurable and comparable. The analysis combines actual landscape data with smart algorithms and provides an objective score per area unit. This creates one central and reliable basis for policy, management and development.
For the analysis, we use satellite images, aerial photographs and current data from the LASREG.
Geo algorithms recognise green-blue elements such as watercourses, green spaces and rows of trees.
Advanced area analysis calculates the degree of transect per area unit based on the national guidelines of the Landscape Attack Plan.
Seamless integration with existing GIS and BI systems makes use in your own work processes easy.
For local and regional governments, reliable information is crucial to underpin green-blue policies. The GBDA makes it possible to use objective data when drawing up environmental visions, monitoring climate adaptation and justifying investments. So you always have comparable and repeatable data for policy choices and reporting.
For policymakers and consultancies, the GBDA offers an efficient way to substantiate plans and projects with hard figures. The analysis makes ecological cross-sectioning transparent and comparable, making discussions less dependent on differences in interpretation and more based on facts. This speeds up decision-making and increases the quality of advice.
Data teams and project organisations often work with diverse datasets and methodologies, making collaboration difficult. The GBDA provides a single uniform base that is directly linkable to GIS and BI systems. This makes integration easy and guarantees that all parties involved work with the same data - efficient, scalable and future-proof.
The GBDA is a data-driven analysis that makes the degree of ecological interlacing measurable. By using actual landscape data from the LASREG and smart algorithms creates an objective score for the density of green-blue structures in an area.
Gross interlacing is the total amount of green/blue in an area. Net veining corrects this for elements that may or may not count according to national guidelines (e.g. Attack Plan Landscape). This creates a more realistic picture for policy and steering.
We deliver results provincial, municipal, landscape type and if required customised region level. Internally, we calculate finely, then aggregate to the desired scale level.
