The protected surface area by NUTS3 region is based on an geospatial analysis using the "Erase"- tool of the ArcGIS-software. The protected areas were substracted from the total NUTS3- area, to get the surface area [km²] of all non-protected areas by NUTS3- region. These were substracted from the total area of NUTS3- region to get the value of PA.
