Critical infrastructures (CIs) are assets, systems, or parts thereof that are essential for the maintenance of socioeconomic functions, health, safety and well-being of people. The exposure of CIs to natural and man-made hazards poses a risk to the economy and society. The spatial distribution of CIs and their economic value are a prerequisite for quantifying risk and planning suitable protection and adaptation measures. However, the incompleteness and inconsistency of existing information on CIs hamper their integration into large-scale risk frameworks. We present here the 'HARmonized grids of Critical Infrastructures in EUrope' (HARCI-EU) dataset. It represents major CIs in the transport, energy, industry and social sectors at 1 km expressed in sector-specific, economically-relevant units. The HARCI-EU grids were produced by integrating geospatial and statistical data from multiple sources. Correlation analysis performed against independent metrics corroborates the approach showing average Pearson coefficients ranging between 0.61 and 0.95 across the sectors. HARCI-EU provides a consistent mapping of CIs in key sectors that can serve as exposure information for large-scale risk assessments in Europe.
关键基础设施（Critical infrastructures，CIs）是维持社会经济功能、保障人民健康、安全和福祉所必需的资产、系统或其组成部分。关键基础设施容易受到自然和人为灾害的影响，这会给经济和社会带来风险。关键基础设施的空间分布及其经济价值是量化风险和规划适当保护及适应措施的前提条件。然而，现有关键基础设施信息的不完整性和不一致性阻碍了其纳入大规模风险框架。我们在此提出“欧洲关键基础设施协调网格”（HARmonized grids of Critical Infrastructures in EUrope，HARCI-EU）数据集。它以经济相关单位表示在交通、能源、工业和社会部门的主要关键基础设施，其空间分辨率为 1 公里。HARCI-EU 网格是通过整合来自多个来源的地理空间和统计数据生成的。与独立指标进行的相关分析证实了该方法，表明各部门的平均皮尔逊系数在 0.61 到 0.95 之间。HARCI-EU 为关键部门的关键基础设施提供了一致的映射，可以作为欧洲大规模风险评估的暴露信息。
