This dataset is linked to the analysis of different aspects related to the conservation of the Sierra Nevada National Park through advanced digital systems. The devices have been deployed in the municipalities of Pampaneira and Capileira in the Alpujarra region of the province of Granada. The data is collected by 11 BOSCH fixed cameras 11.00 387.4900 Interior IR 5.3 MP and 4 TURRET type cameras Interior IR Lens 2.8 mm 5.3 MP 100º H.265 multi-streaming (H.265; H.264; M-JPEG). The devices have been installed as follows: 3 devices have been placed in establishments in Capileira, 8 in establishments in Pampaneira, and 4 in urban passage areas in the municipality of Pampaneira. All devices are capable of measuring the entry and exit to the establishment or area they are designated for. In some cases, there is also a metric which measures the number of people present within that area. The information related to the establishments has been anonymized to ensure the privacy of the collaborating companies in the project and the flow of customers during the studied period. The data attached in the CSV files DATA_OCCUPANCY_2022 and DATA_OCCUPANCY_2023 contain information about individuals detected by the cameras in the years 2022 (from February to December) and 2023 (from January to August). The calculation of the number of people is done cumulatively in hourly intervals. The collected variables include: device_ID: The name of the device recording the value. type: The metric measuring the recording, which can be ENTRADA (entry), SALIDA (exit), or AFORO (occupancy). date: The date and time at which the cumulative people count is recorded for the specific metric. counter: The number of people counted for a specific metric in that time period.
