Accessibility: Travel Time-Cost to Major Cities (Tajikistan - ~ 500m)

The regional cities accessibility dataset is modelled as raster-based travel time/cost analysis. Individual cumulative travel time/cost maps were produced for major regional cities (>170k habitants) less than 100 km from the border. The following values were assumed: City - Country Namangan - UZB - 626,120 Samarkand - UZB - 546,303 Tashkent - UZB - 2,571,668 Mazar i sharif - AFG - 484,500 Fergana - UZB - 288,850 Kokand - UZB - 252,730 Altiarik - UZB - 210,515 Kunduz - AFG - 189,300 Termez - UZB - 179,572 Jizzax - UZB - 177,447 This 500m resolution raster dataset is part of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) aimed at the identification of value chain infrastructure sites (optimal location). **Data publication:** 2021-10-18 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [FAO-Data](mailto:fao-data@fao.org) Resource Contact: [Dariia Nesterenko](mailto:dariia.nesterenko@fao.org) **Data lineage:** lineage statement Produced using OpenStreetMap data for roads, railways, rivers; UN Map country border; The HydroSHEDS 15' resolution GRID for the DEM, GHSL - Global Human Settlement Layer. **Resource constraints:** This work is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC-BY 4.0) **Online resources:** Zipped raster TIF file for Tajikistan regional cities accessibility.
