Airports and Aviation Infrastructure of the Dominican Republic from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap volunteer mappers have tagged airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites across the Dominican Republic. The dataset, exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, is useful for logistics and aerial-response planning but coverage may be sparse in remote areas. Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoPackage, Shapefile, and GeoJSON.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Analyze aviation infrastructure density for logistics planning based on tagged aeroway features.
• Model aerial response capabilities for disaster scenarios based on helipad and runway locations.

Strengths

• Data is available in six different geospatial file formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Last updated on 2026-06-27 05:06:19.140415.

Limitations

• Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity and may be sparse in remote areas.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
