Description
HeiGIT's GAIA Pipeline provides risk assessment indicators for Ethiopia's administrative level 2 districts to facilitate flood hazard analysis. The data integrates demographic, infrastructure, and accessibility metrics derived from WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine. It consists of seven thematic layers including demographics, facility counts, and population travel-time accessibility.
Use Cases
Assessing healthcare vulnerability by correlating access_pop_hospitals_30min with elderly population counts
Planning emergency education response by identifying districts with high education_count but low access_pop_education_5km
Quantifying flood impact on vulnerable groups using female_u5 and children_u5 demographics within flood_exposure zones
Multi-source integration of WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine
Standardized join keys using ADM2_PCODE across seven thematic layers
Limitations
Infrastructure counts like hospitals_count are limited by OpenStreetMap's volunteer mapping coverage
Potential temporal mismatch between demographic data and infrastructure data sources
Accessibility metrics are dependent on the accuracy of the openrouteservice road network data
