HOT roads vs HDX COD Roads

The Area and The Data

Findings

Roads:

• HOT has less than 1% of roads with a name and 25% with surface info, but could have up to 300,000 km of roads that OCHA doesn't have.
  • HOT roads are mostly unpaved and rural
• OCHA has fewer features and only one column, but could have 17,000 km of roads that HOTOSM doesn't have.

⠀Key Attributes for Roads:

• HOT's key attributes include name (2,769), name:ar (1,735), and source (38,877).
• OCHA's key attributes include name.

⠀Improvement Plan for Roads:

• Process name columns to make "Name:" exclusively for local language and "name:en" for English.
• Potentially do transliterations.
• Validate and potentially import features from OCHA using meta data and rapid if necessary. Put special interest in main roads
