SOURCES: Aircraft departures are the number of domestic and international take-offs of air carriers registered in the country.; Total number of airports. Runways must be useable, but may be unpaved. May not have facilities for refuelling, maintenance, or air traffic control.
; Number of airports with paved runways (concrete or asphalt surfaces), categorised according to the length of the longest runway; Total number of airports with paved runways (concrete or asphalt surfaces)
; Total number of airports with useable unpaved runways (grass, dirt, sand, or gravel surfaces), categorised according to the length of the longest runway; Cars per 1,000 people (1999).; total length of the paved parts of the highway system; total length of the highway system; total length of the unpaved parts of the highway system; Merchant marine may be defined as all ships engaged in the carriage of goods; or all commercial vessels (as opposed to all non-military ships), which excludes tugs, fishing vessels, offshore oil rigs, etc.; or a grouping of merchant ships by nationality o; Motor vehicles per 1,000 people; The lengths and types of pipelines for transporting products like natural gas, crude oil, or petroleum products
; The major ports and harbors selected on the basis of overall importance to each country. This is determined by evaluating a number of factors (e.g., dollar value of goods handled, gross tonnage, facilities, and military significance).; This entry states the total route length of the railway network and of its component parts by gauge: broad, dual, narrow, standard, and other.
; This entry gives the total length of the road network and includes the length of the paved and unpaved portions.
; Vehicles per populated land area
Units: Vehicles/Populated Land Area (in km2)
Units: Air pollution is generally greatest in densely populated areas. To take this into account, we used the Gridded Population of the World dataset available from CIESIN and calculated the total land area in each country inhabited with a population density of greater than 5 persons per sq. km. We then utilized this land area as the denominator for the vehicles data.; The total length and individual names of navigable rivers, canals, and other inland bodies of water.
; The individual names of navigable rivers, canals, and other inland bodies of water.
