Kyrgyzstan Risk Assessment and Flood Exposure Indicators by District

Risk assessment indicators for Kyrgyzstan are provided at the administrative level 2 to support flood hazard analysis and resilience planning. Produced by the Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology (HeiGIT), the data integrates demographic, infrastructure, and accessibility metrics from WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine.

Use Cases

• Calculating the percentage of the population with 30-minute hospital access using access_pop_hospitals_30min
• Identifying districts with high vulnerability based on the elderly and children_u5 demographic columns
• Mapping infrastructure density using education_count and primary_healthcare_count for disaster resilience planning

Strengths

• Aggregated at administrative level 2 for localized risk modeling
• Includes specific travel-time accessibility metrics (30, 60, 120 minutes) to healthcare facilities
• Derived from the standardized HeiGIT GAIA Pipeline using verified sources like WorldPop and ORS

Limitations

• Facility counts (e.g., hospitals_count) are sourced from OpenStreetMap and may be incomplete in remote or rural areas
• Temporal resolution of underlying Google Earth Engine and WorldPop data is not explicitly stated for every indicator
