Abstract	Accepted... Received...; in original form... We present the CIDA-UCM-Yale (Centro de Investigaciones de Astronomía, Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Yale University) survey for Hα + [NII]6549, 6584 emission-line galaxies using objective-prism spectra. The most important properties of a catalogue with 427 entries and significant subsets are analysed. The complete sample contains 183 statistically confirmed ELGs in a sky area of 151 deg 2 and redshift up to 0.14. We determine the parameters of the Hα luminosity function using the Hα+[NII] flux directly measured on the ELGs spectra in this sample and the star formation rate density derived is in agreement with the values reported in the literature. Finally, we study the clustering properties of local star-forming galaxies relative to quiescent ones from different perspectives. We find that emission-line galaxies avoid dense regions of quiescent galaxies and we propose a power-law expression to parametrise the relation between star formation rate density and environment volume density of emission-line galaxies.
