Central Asia exposure dataset - Transport csv (Details)

Regional layer of transportation infrastructure in Central Asia. The dataset has been developed based on transportation data collected from Openstreetmap and validated based on local data. Bridges location was derived based on spatial analysis, in particular identifying the intersection of main roads/railways and rivers. These data have been derived on a regional scale for the purpose of consistent regional (multi-country hazard and risk assessment). The folder includes one point layer containing Central Asia bridges, and one lines layer containing roads and railways of different types. Note that minor roads (e.g. residential, service) and railway types (e.g. subway) were not included in the analysis. Application of this information should on smaller scales should be done with care and taking into account the limitations of the approach.

Publisher of dataset	RED - Risk, Engineering Development - Pavia (Italy)
Dataset version	2022
Data purpose	Regional risk modelling. These data have been derived on a regional scale for the purpose of consistent regional multi-country hazard and risk assessment. Application of this information on smaller scales should be done with care. Importantly on a local scale, it is often the case that more detailed history and hazard information is required to perform such hazard and risk modelling, particularly were applied to dimension mitigation structures or strategies., it is often the case that more detailed history and hazard information is required to perform such hazard and risk modelling, particularly were applied to dimension mitigation structures or strategies
Project that produced the dataset	SFRARR - Strengthening Financial Resilience and Accelerating Risk Reduction in Central Asia
Additional details	Data from the EU-funded 'Strengthening Financial Resilience and Accelerating Risk Reduction in Central Asia' Program. (https://www.gfdrr.org/en/program/SFRARR-Central-Asia). Exposure data developed using high-resolution global and regional datasets and local official data, harmonized to produce a regionally-consistent exposure database for Central Asia. The exposure database includes: population, residential buildings, non-residential buildings (schools, healthcare facilities, industrial and commercial buildings), croplands, transportation system (roads, railways and bridges), airports and airstrips, mines, and supply infrastructure. The exposure database developed during this project can be used at regional scale, national scale or sub-national scale (e.g., at Oblast scale).
