Worldpop

High spatial resolution, contemporary data on human population distributions are a prerequisite for the accurate measurement of the impacts of population growth, for monitoring changes and for planning interventions. The WorldPop project aims to meet these needs through the provision of detailed and open access population distribution datasets built using transparent approaches. The WorldPop project was initiated in October 2013 to combine the AfriPop, AsiaPop and AmeriPop population mapping projects. It aims to provide an open access archive of spatial demographic datasets for Central and South America, Africa and Asia to support development, disaster response and health applications. The methods used are designed with full open access and operational application in mind, using transparent, fully documented and peer-reviewed methods to produce easily updatable maps with accompanying metadata and measures of uncertainty.

高空间分辨率、反映当代人类人口分布的数据是准确测量人口增长影响、监测变化以及规划干预措施的前提条件。WorldPop项目旨在通过提供基于透明方法构建的详尽且开放获取的人口分布数据集来满足这些需求。该项目始于2013年10月，旨在整合AfriPop、AsiaPop和AmeriPop人口测绘项目。该项目旨在为中美洲、非洲和亚洲提供开放获取的空间人口数据集档案，以支持发展、灾害响应和健康应用。所采用的方法充分考虑到开放获取和实际应用的需求，运用透明、详尽记录且经过同行评审的方法，生成易于更新的地图，并附带元数据和不确定性度量。
