| Comparability with global indicator |
The notions used in the national indicator result from the statistical report no 1- on housing infrastructure and greening and include only the elements of the definitions included in the global indicator, but are not equivalent. The data sources for the national indicator (administrative data) and the global one differ (geo-referenced data). |
