hvspkg

An R package for assessing heat vulnerability across Spanish municipalities by integrating demographic data with spatial boundaries.

Installation

devtools::install_github("cczablan1/hvspkg")

Usage

library(hvspkg)

# Join population to municipalities
muni <- join_population_to_municipalities(
  example_municipalities,
  example_population
)
#> Joined 10 municipalities; 0 have no matching population record.

# Create hvi_municipalities object
hvi_muni <- new_hvi_municipalities(muni)
print(hvi_muni)
#> Heat Vulnerability Municipalities
#> Municipalities : 10 
#> Provinces      : 4 
#> CRS            : EPSG:4326 
#> Vulnerable pop : 14020
summary(hvi_muni)
#> Heat Vulnerability Municipalities - Summary
#> -------------------------------------------
#> Total municipalities     : 10 
#> Provinces covered        : 4 
#> Total population         : 88370 
#> Total vulnerable pop     : 14020 
#> Mean vulnerable pop      : 1402

# Compute and plot the heat vulnerability index
hvi <- compute_hvi_score(hvi_muni)
print(hvi)
#> Heat Vulnerability Index
#> Municipalities: 10 
#> Score range   : [ 0 , 1 ]
#> Mean score    : 0.413
plot(hvi)
