The "Geolinking Service SoRa" research data infrastructure helps to close a gap in the German research landscape. Many questions—such as those regarding social inequality or environmental justice—can only be answered through interdisciplinary analyses, such as linking social science and spatial science data: Does the proportion of green space in a residential neighborhood affect health and well-being? Are people who live in single-family homes happier than residents of densely built-up urban neighborhoods?
How does transportation infrastructure—such as access to buses and trains—influence people's mobility patterns?
