Iraq buildings and infrastructure data

Building footprints across the area: every feature tagged `building=*`, from residential homes to hospitals, schools, and places of worship. Useful for population estimation, damage assessment, and urban planning. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active. Urban areas are usually well represented, remote areas may be sparse. Cross-check critical decisions with local field knowledge. - Source: OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map - Tags: building - Part of the country exports on HDX by HOT

Education facilities: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities tagged via `amenity` or `building`. Useful for school-access mapping, education planning, and resource allocation.

This map illustrates satellite-detected damage in Old City, Mosul, Ninawa Governorate, Iraq. Using satellite imagery acquired 18 July 2017, UNITAR - UNOSAT identified a total of 6,981 affected structures within this part of city. This marks an overall increase of 26% in damage affected structures from the previous assessment of the 30 June. Approximately 1,202 of these were destroyed (17% of the total affected buildings), 3,982 severely damaged (57% of the total affected buildings) and 1,797 moderately damaged (26% of the total affected buildings). This marks a 145% increase in destroyed buildings, 4% in moderately damaged buildings and 20% severely damaged buildings from the 30 June assessment. The most heavily impacted areas appear to be the Ras al-Kur (see inset) and the Maydan neighbourhoods. Due to the densely constructed nature of this part of the city, these values might be underestimated. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

This map illustrates satellite-detected damaged and potentially damaged buildings in the town of Koeeke Hasan, Iran following the M 7.3 earthquake that struck the area on the 12 November 2017. The analysis was carried out comparing a post-event Pleiades image acquired on the 16 November 2017 with a pre-event WorldView3 image of 24 July 2017. The results indicate intense damage across the whole town, particularly in Koeeke Hasan, Koeeke Aziz and Koeeke Mahmod. A total of 1174 structures have been identified as damaged or collapesed across the area extent represented here. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.

This map illustrates satellite-detected damaged and potentially damaged buildings and the related density of damage in the areas north of Sarpol-e-Zahab county in Kermanshah province, Iran following the M 7.3 earthquake that struck the area on the 12 November 2017. The analysis was carried out comparing a post-event Pleiades image acquired on the 16 November 2017 with a pre-event WorldView3 image of 24 July 2017. The results indicate damage across several localities and villages in this zone and about 3300 structures were identified as potentially damaged (e.g. 362 in Koeeke Hasan; 148 in Tapamaran and 98 in Jaberi). This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.

This map illustrates potentially damaged structures/buildings and related density in Sarpol-e-Zahab, Kermanshah, Iran as detected by a Pleiades satellite image acquired on 16 November 2017. The UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis identified 683 damaged structures. Taking into account the pre-building footprints provided by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap (~9700 structures), this represents about 7 % of the total number of structures within Sarpol-e-Zahab. The damage density highlights that the neighbourhood of Maskane Mahar and the area around the Post Office are amongst the most affected zones. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.
