Slovakia Risk Assessment Indicators: District-Level Flood and Demographic Data

Delivering risk assessment indicators for Slovakia aggregated at the administrative level 2 (districts) to facilitate flood hazard and resilience analysis. Developed by the Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology (HeiGIT) in 2026, it integrates demographic, environmental, and infrastructure data from sources like WorldPop and OpenStreetMap.

Use Cases

• Assessing disaster resilience by comparing access_pop_primary_healthcare_30min with elderly population counts
• Flood risk mapping using the SVK_ADM2_flood_exposure indicators
• Infrastructure planning based on education_count and pop_u15 demographics

Strengths

• Aggregated at the granular admin level 2 (district) scale
• Includes specific travel-time metrics (30/60/120 mins) for healthcare access
• Derived from the standardized HeiGIT GAIA Pipeline integrating WorldPop and OSM

Limitations

• Potential completeness variance in facility counts due to reliance on OpenStreetMap crowdsourced data
• Lack of detailed metadata for the vulnerability and rural population indicator columns
