====== Symbolic plants and animals- Flow ======

==== General description: ====

Symbolic species can be used in many symbolic ways, ranging from depiction on flags, coins, emblems, and logos to naming of hotels, restaurants, brands, and political parties. Due to availability of data of the same category at the municipality level, the use of symbolic species was mapped through the number of hotels that refer to symbolic species in their names.

==== Input Data ====

  * Georeferenced data on hotels * Municipality borders

Thereby, individual species were distinguished and the number of hotels within each municipality of each species was counted. To obtain the total number of hotels referring to the selected species, all ten species were summed up.</font>
