Title
Woodland Opportunity Map - Social Benefits
Abstract

This layer shows where woodland creation is expected to contribute to social benefits of improved mental health and access to green space. It is a combination of two different indicators from the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD) 2019 that are relevant to woodland creation.

  1. Physical Environment - Access to Greenspace – adjusted for estimated population density. This shows areas ranked by their access to accessible greenspace (e.g. Parks, Playing fields, Commons). This is adjusted for density so that higher population density areas with poor access to greenspace are ranked higher.
  2. Health - Mental Health. This shows areas ranked on counts (percentages) of people with diagnoses from a defined list of disease registers and sub-indicators obtained from GP practices in Wales.

Access to Greenspace was ranked from good access = 0; to poor access = 5. Mental Health was ranked from lower percentage (fewer diagnoses) = 0; to higher percentage (more diagnoses) = 5.

The access to greenspace and mental health rankings were then combined to form a score from 0-10. These were then converted to a score of 0-5 in line with other scoring layers.
