Instructions

Conventional symbols – The following conventional symbols are used in the tables:

Line (-) a) the phenomenon does not exist;

b) the phenomenon exists and it is surveyed, but no occurrences were recorded.

Four dots (….) the phenomenon exists, data are not available for any reason whatsoever.

Two dots (..) figures are below half of the minimum examined range.

Asterisk (*) undislosed data under statistical secrecy.

Provisional and adjusted data – Some of the latest figures are provisional and subject to revision in the following issues. Figures in previous issues not matching data herein are assumed as having been adjusted.

Rounding – Figures are rounded and data in tables may not perfectly match. Mismatch is limited to one or two units (thousand, million). For the same reason, totals may appear inconsistent.

Relative figures – Relative figures (percentage, derivation ratios, etc.) are usually calculated from non-rounded absolute figures, while most figures in this book are rounded to thousand, million, etc.; thus relative figures calculated from these absolute values may slightly differ from figures in this volume.

Extremes of value classes – Where figures are broken down by value classes, it is assumed that only upper end values are included in each class, while lower end values are not included in their value class. This is not applied to age distribution, whether age is broken down by years or age groups. For example "0 year old", refer to people from their birth to the day before their first birthday; the age group " 10-14" include people from their tenth birthday to the day before their fifteenth birthday; "75 and over " refer to people from their seventy-fifth birthday on.

International comparisons

Classification of Countries – Countries are usually listed within their Continent, in the geographical order established by EU Countries. However, in some tables exceptions were made to better outline the territorial characteristics of phenomena.

Figures comparability – Figures which refer to different Countries are not always comparable for a number of different reasons: different criteria used in surveying and processing information, slightly different purposes and contents of surveys; lastly differences in the time, period and geographical areas examined. Some of the main causes of not precise comparability are explained, from time to time, in the notes at the bottom of the tables.

Chapter 1

Environment and territory

This section outlines some characteristics of national territory, such as surface, altitude (mountain, hill, plain), seismicity, forests, environment (protected areas, waste).

Data on energy consumption and petrol sales are included as indicators of the impact of anthropic activities on the environment.

The main sources are the following surveys on: Forest fires, Forest surface by altitude as well as processed data on Energy indicators in Italy and in some EU countries, Surface of protected areas, Surface by seismicity.
