title: Geolocated Food Establishments Galicia REGASA 2025

description: Overview

EstablecimientosAlimentos is a geospatial dataset containing the location and classification of food-related establishments  across the region of Galicia (Northwest Spain). The dataset includes shops, supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, and other food retail or service activities. All data are provided in GeoJSON format, using the ETRS89 / UTM Zone 29N (EPSG:25829) coordinate reference system. The original data source is REGASA-Rexistro Establecementos Sanitarios Galicia. The information from this database was Geolocated and the current status of each establishment (open/closed) was reviewed by using GoogleMaps

This dataset is designed for use in GIS applications, spatial analysis, market accessibility research, food system studies, and municipal or regional planning.



Data Structure

The file contains a single FeatureCollection composed of Point geometries. Each feature includes both spatial coordinates and descriptive attributes.

Attributes





fid — Internal unique identifier




Nombre — Establishment name




Número de registro — Official registration code




Actividad — Type of activity or food-related service




Dirección — Full postal address




Lat, Lon — Geographic coordinates in WGS84




Fuente, Fuente2 — Sources used for geolocation




Ayuntamiento — Local authority (city)




CONCELLO — Municipality name

Geometry





Geometry type: Point




Projection: ETRS89 / UTM 29N (EPSG:25829)




Notes: Latitude/longitude values (WGS84) are included separately for convenience.





Purpose and Intended Use

This dataset supports:





Spatial modelling of food accessibility




Retail and commerce studies




Analysis of food networks and supply chains




Urban and rural planning




Public administration, health and safety supervision




Academic, open-data, and applied research



It is suitable for use in QGIS, ArcGIS, PostGIS, GeoPandas, MapLibre, and other GIS or spatial data tools.



Methodology

The dataset was compiled from publicly accessible registry information and geocoded using online geolocation services. Locations were validated through cross-checking with multiple sources. Data cleaning and processing were performed programmatically to ensure consistency of attribute fields and spatial accuracy.
