The objective is to map and characterize human settlement extents in Ghana using satellite imagery, providing valuable insights into population distribution and density for various applications such as urban planning, infrastructure development, and demographic analysis.
The dataset characterizes building density in different types of settlements, providing valuable information for urban planning, infrastructure development, and demographic analysis in Ghana. It contributes to understanding population distribution and density, which is crucial for various development initiatives.
The settlement type as defined by a built-up area, small-settlement area, or hamlet, Total population estimate for settlement extent derived from constrained WorldPop raster, Total population estimate for settlement extent derived from constrained and UN-adjusted WorldPop raster
Both the settlements’ extents and classification are derived solely from Ecopia’s building footprints. Data analysis and processing were achieved entirely using Esri’s ArcGIS software (Pro version 2.7.3
