North Korea Risk Assessment Indicators for Flood and Cyclone Hazards at Admin Level 2

HeiGIT's GAIA Pipeline provides eight indicator layers for structured risk assessment in North Korea. The data integrates open sources like WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine, aggregated to admin level 2 boundaries. It was last updated on 2026-04-13.

Use Cases

• Assess population vulnerability to floods based on demographic and flood exposure indicators.
• Evaluate coping capacity for cyclones using combined access to services and facilities data.
• Map accessibility to healthcare and education services using travel time and distance metrics.
• Analyze rural population distribution and its correlation with hazard exposure.

Strengths

• Includes eight distinct indicator layers covering demographics, facilities, access, vulnerability, and exposure.
• Derived from established open data sources like WorldPop and OpenStreetMap via the GAIA Pipeline.
• Aggregated at admin level 2, providing sub-national granularity for North Korea.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
