Crop Storage Location Score: Root Crops (Kenya - ~1km)

Country raster grid with 0.01 decimal degrees resolution produced under the scope of the sub-Saharan African Corridor project pilot case, using raster-based Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) methodology for the identification and definition of mobile storage locations (movable warehouses). The modeling variables characterize supply, demand and accessibility, main logistical factors for warehousing facilities location. These variables are major crops (supply), human population density (demand) and main transportation network infrastructure (accessibility). The main transportation network infrastructure is the input for the development of raster-based travel time/cost analysis. GIS multicriteria decision analysis GIS-MCDA consists of a method to convert and combine spatial data/geographical information and decision-makers criteria in order to attain evidence for a decision-making process. The location score results from a simple arithmetic weighted sum calculation (cell statistics) of normalized grids, generating a location score varying from 0 to 100. The assumed weight for each of the criteria is as follows: ("Crop Production" * 0.4) + ("Human Population Density" * 0.2) + ("Cities Accessibility" * 0.1) + ("Regional Cities Accessibility" * 0.1) + ("Ports Accessibility" * 0.1) **Data publication:** 2020-08-03 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [FAO-Data](mailto:fao-data@fao.org) Resource Contact: [Nelson Ribeiro](mailto:Nelson.RosasRibeiroFilho@fao.org) **Data lineage:** lineage statement Two major sources were used, FAO GIS platform Hand-in-Hand and OpenStreetMap (open data) including the following datasets 1.

GIS multicriteria decision analysis GIS-MCDA consists of a method to convert and combine spatial data/geographical information and decision-makers criteria in order to attain evidence for a decision-making process. The location score is obtained by way of a simple arithmetic weighted sum calculation (raster calculator tool) of reclassified grids, generating a location score varying from 0 to 3. The assumed weight for each of the criteria is as follows.
