Non-administrative regions

Retrieve areal data related to what the BKG calls non-administrative regions. This includes:

bkg_ror: Raumordnungsregionen (Spatial planning regions)
bkg_rg: Reisegebiete (Travel areas)
bkg_amr: Arbeitsmarktregionen (Labor market regions)
bkg_bkr: Braunkohlereviere (Lignite regions)
bkg_krg: Kreisregionen (District regions)
bkg_mbe: BBSR Mittelbereiche (BBSR middle areas)
bkg_ggr: Großstadtregionen (City regions)
bkg_kmr: Metropolregionen (Metropolitan regions)
bkg_mkro: Verdichtungsräume (Conurbations)

These functions interface the ge* product of the BKG.

Usage

bkg_ror(
  scale = c("250", "1000", "2500", "5000"),
  year = "latest",
  timeout = 120,
  update_cache = FALSE
)

bkg_rg(
  scale = c("250", "1000", "2500", "5000"),
  year = "latest",
  timeout = 120,
  update_cache = FALSE
)

bkg_amr(
  scale = c("250", "1000", "2500", "5000"),
  year = "latest",
  timeout = 120,
  update_cache = FALSE
)

bkg_bkr(
  scale = c("250", "1000", "2500", "5000"),
  year = "latest",
  timeout = 120,
  update_cache = FALSE
)

bkg_krg(
  scale = c("250", "1000", "2500", "5000"),
  year = "latest",
  timeout = 120,
  update_cache = FALSE
)

bkg_mbe(
  scale = c("250", "1000", "2500", "5000"),
  year = "latest",
  timeout = 120,
  update_cache = FALSE
)

bkg_ggr(
  scale = c("250", "1000", "2500", "5000"),
  year = "latest",
  timeout = 120,
  update_cache = FALSE
)

bkg_kmr(
  scale = c("250", "1000", "2500", "5000"),
  year = "latest",
  timeout = 120,
  update_cache = FALSE
)

bkg_mkro(
  scale = c("250", "1000", "2500", "5000"),
  year = "latest",
  timeout = 120,
  update_cache = FALSE
)

Arguments

scale: Scale of the geometries. Can be "250" (1:250,000), "1000" (1:1,000,000), "2500" (1:2,500,000) or "5000" (1:5,000,000). If "250", population data is included in the output. Defaults to "250".
year: Version year of the dataset. You can use latest to retrieve the latest dataset version available on the BKG's geodata center. Older versions can be browsed using the archive.
timeout: Timeout value for the data download passed to req_timeout. Adjust this if your internet connection is slow or you are downloading larger datasets.
update_cache: By default, downloaded files are cached in the tempdir() directory of R. When downloading the same data again, the data is not downloaded but instead taken from the cache. Sometimes this can be not the desired behavior. If you want to overwrite the cache, pass TRUE. Defaults to FALSE, i.e. always adopt the cache if possible.

Value

An sf tibble with multipolygon geometries and two features, a regional identifier and the region endonyms.
