Uzbekistan Risk Assessment Indicators: Admin Level 2 Flood and Infrastructure Data

HeiGIT produced this dataset of risk assessment indicators for Uzbekistan at the administrative level 2 (district) to facilitate flood hazard analysis. It integrates demographic, infrastructure, and accessibility data derived from WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine as of March 2026.

Use Cases

• Evaluating healthcare reach by analyzing the percentage of the population within 30, 60, or 120 minutes of hospitals using access_pop_hospitals_30min/1h/2h
• Identifying vulnerable groups for flood preparedness by mapping children_u5 and elderly populations at the district level
• Assessing district-level coping capacity by comparing hospitals_count and primary_healthcare_count against population density

Strengths

• Aggregated at administrative level 2 for localized district analysis
• Includes travel-time metrics (e.g., access_pop_primary_healthcare_30min) rather than simple Euclidean distance
• Integrates multi-source data from WorldPop, OpenStreetMap, and Google Earth Engine

Limitations

• Facility counts (e.g., education_count) are dependent on OpenStreetMap contributor activity and may be incomplete
• Demographic data is based on WorldPop estimates rather than a direct national census
