Qatar: Planet Road Surface, Width, and Passability Data

This dataset provides AI-derived road surface type, road width, road surface change
(unpaved to paved), and a Humanitarian Passability Index (HPI) using
PlanetScope satellite imagery (2020 and 2024).

The analysis focuses on arterial roads classified in OSM as motorway, trunk,
primary, and secondary, including their link classes. These road types form
the backbone of long-distance, high-capacity transportation and national connectivity.

Relationship to the Previous Mapillary-Based Dataset

HeiGIT previously released a global dataset based on Mapillary street-level imagery.

- The Mapillary dataset provides detailed ground-level information but has uneven coverage.
- The PlanetScope-based dataset provides near-complete and globally consistent coverage along arterial roads.


Accuracy and Data Quality

The PlanetScope surface model achieved 89.2% accuracy, outperforming OSM surface tags (64.7%).

Approximately 0.0047 million km of arterial roads are mapped in OSM.

Based on AI-derived estimates:
- Paved roads: 0.0045 million km (96.3524%)

Russian Federation: Road Surface Data

This dataset provides detailed information on road surfaces from OpenStreetMap (OSM),
distinguishing between paved and unpaved roads across the region.

Surface information is derived using a hybrid deep learning approach.
For methodological details, see:
http://arxiv.org/abs/2410.19874

Recently, we also published a new country-level dataset based on PlanetScope satellite imagery
with near-complete coverage of all arterial roads. It is available on HDX under the name:
"Russian Federation: **Planet** Road Surface".
The corresponding paper is available at:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.04092


Road Surface Statistics

Approximately 29.7563 million km of roads are mapped in OSM in this region.

Based on AI-derived estimates:
- Paved roads: 10.0288 million km (33.7032%)
- Unpaved roads: 4.8133 million km (16.1756%)

About 15.3793 million km
(51.6843%) of roads lack surface information in OSM.

To reduce this gap, the Mapillary-derived surface dataset provides an additional
1.3318 million km
(8.66%) of surface information.


Intended Use

This dataset supports transportation planning, infrastructure assessment,
climate emissions analysis, and GIS applications.

Haiti - Human Development Indicators

The aim of the Human Development Report is to stimulate global, regional and national policy-relevant discussions on issues pertinent to human development. Accordingly, the data in the Report require the highest standards of data quality, consistency, international comparability and transparency. The Human Development Report Office (HDRO) fully subscribes to the Principles governing international statistical activities.

The HDI was created to emphasize that people and their capabilities should be the ultimate criteria for assessing the development of a country, not economic growth alone. The HDI can also be used to question national policy choices, asking how two countries with the same level of GNI per capita can end up with different human development outcomes. These contrasts can stimulate debate about government policy priorities.
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and have a decent standard of living. The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions.

The 2019 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) data shed light on the number of people experiencing poverty at regional, national and subnational levels, and reveal inequalities across countries and among the poor themselves.Jointly developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford, the 2019 global MPI offers data for 101 countries, covering 76 percent of the global population.
The MPI provides a comprehensive and in-depth picture of global poverty – in all its dimensions – and monitors progress towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1 – to end poverty in all its forms. It also provides policymakers with the data to respond to the call of Target 1.2, which is to ‘reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women, and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definition'.
