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.
; Total number of airports with paved runways (concrete or asphalt surfaces)
; Number of airports with paved runways (concrete or asphalt surfaces), categorised according to the length of the longest runway
; Total number of airports with useable unpaved runways (grass, dirt, sand, or gravel surfaces)
; Total number of airports with useable unpaved runways (grass, dirt, sand, or gravel surfaces), categorised according to the length of the longest runway
; Total number of established helicopter take-off and landing sites (which may or may not have fuel or other services).
; Merchant marine may be defined as all ships engaged in the carriage of goods; or all commercial vessels (as opposed to all nonmilitary ships), which excludes tugs, fishing vessels, offshore oil rigs, etc. This entry contains information in four fields - total, ships by type, foreign-owned, and registered in other countries.
Total includes the number of ships (1,000 GRT or over), total DWT for those ships, and total GRT for those ships. DWT or dead weight tonnage is the total weight of cargo, plus bunkers, stores, etc., that a ship can carry when immersed to the appropriate load line. GRT or gross register tonnage is a figure obtained by measuring the entire sheltered volume of a ship available for cargo and passengers and converting it to tons on the basis of 100 cubic feet per ton; there is no stable relationship between GRT and DWT.
Ships by type includes a listing of barge carriers, bulk cargo ships, cargo ships, chemical tankers, combination bulk carriers, combination ore/oil carriers, container ships, liquefied gas tankers, livestock carriers, multifunctional large-load carriers, petroleum tankers, passenger ships, passenger/cargo ships, railcar carriers, refrigerated cargo ships, roll-on/roll-off cargo ships, short-sea passenger ships, specialized tankers, and vehicle carriers.
Foreign-owned are ships that fly the flag of one country but belong to owners in another.
Registered in other countries are ships that belong to owners in one country but fly the flag of another.
; 1000 GRT or over
; Motor vehicles per 1,000 people; The lengths and types of pipelines for transporting products like natural gas, crude oil, or petroleum products
; 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.
ALTERNATIVE NAMES:
Spain, Kingdom of Spain, Espana
