Preventive and health-promoting policies can guide (place- and space-specific) factors influencing human health, such as the physical and social environment. Required is data that can lead to a more nuanced decision-making process and identify both existing and future challenges. Along with the rise of new technologies, and thus the multiple opportunities to use and process data, new options have emerged to measure and monitor factors that affect health. Thus, in recent years, several gateways for open data (including governmental and geospatial data) have become available. At present, an increasing number of research institutions as well as (state and private) companies and citizens' initiatives are providing data. However, there is a lack of overviews covering the range of such offerings regarding health. In particular, for geographically differentiated analyses, there are challenges related to data availability at different spatial levels and the growing number of data providers. This paper aims to provide an overview of open data resources available in the context of space and health to date. It also describes the technical and legal conditions for using open data. An up-to-date summary of results including information on relevant data access and terms of use is provided along with a web visualization. All data is available for further use under an open license.
预防和促进健康的政策可以指导影响人类健康的（特定地点和空间的）因素，如物理和社会环境。需要的数据可以引导更细致的决策过程，并确定现有的和未来的挑战。随着新技术的兴起，以及使用和处理数据的多种机会，出现了新的选择来衡量和监测影响健康的因素。因此，近年来，出现了几个开放数据网关（包括政府和地理空间数据）。目前，越来越多的研究机构以及（州和私营）公司和公民倡议正在提供数据。然而，对于涵盖健康方面的此类产品的范围，缺乏概述。特别是对于地理上有区别的分析，在不同的空间层次上存在数据可用性的挑战，以及数据提供者的数量不断增加。本文旨在提供一个关于空间和健康背景下现有开放数据资源的概述。它还描述了使用开放数据的技术和法律条件。提供了最新的结果摘要，包括有关相关数据访问和使用条款的信息，并提供了网络可视化。所有数据均可根据开放许可证进一步使用。
