Real-world Example Module 3 Digitisation

[enauj]

I need a real-world scenario for Module 3: Digitisation where there was a need to digitise data first with a map.

OpenStreetMap / Humanitarian OSM / Missing Maps would also be good examples of digitisation.

• Example from BRC/ Nigerian Red Cross as part of Enhanced Vulnerability and Capability Assessment

This one includes both digitising from satellite imagery and also using the georeferencer to digitise information drawn on printed maps - but I think that's beyond the scope of what's needed here.

UNOSAT uses manual digitisation for some damage assessments. I believe REACH also.

Examples:

• Building Damage Assessment in Paikgachha Upazila, Khulna District, Khulna Division, Bangladesh as of 4 June 2024
• Building Damage Assessment in Koshkak village, Zindajan District, Hirat Province, Afghanistan as of 16 October 2023
• Republic of Sudan: Sennar State - Wad Madani Damage Assessment of 15 April

Another option: Module 5, Ex. 3, Task 1 in a modified way: https://giscience.github.io/gis-training-resource-center/content/Modul_5/en_qgis_modul_5_ex3.html#task-1-geolocate-security-related-information-of-the-last-days

We don't have an output map or similiar but its's a real world example. Would focus here however on digizing high risk locations (points and areas) to not include the buffer tool or similiar.

One more from past experience outside Red Cross: at Reach we digitised satellite images of displaced persons camps to map tents and camp boundaries to inform population estimates and service provision.

in some cases also digitising flood extent over different flooding seasons to inform where flood defences should be built or tents be moved.
