Description: The hierarchical urban habitat classification is based on publicly available data on the physical and anthropogenic environment. For BAILA, we used 18 physical and anthropogenic variables which included: (1) climatic variables such as average and maximum temperature and precipitation, (2) physical variables such as elevation and slope, (3) land cover values such as forest and grassland cover, (4) built environment variables such as percentage of impervious area (buildings and pavement), and (5) social variables such as human population density and traffic density. Using cluster analysis, we were able to classify our study area into nine urban habitat types.
