ReliefWeb - Location maps

ReliefWeb has produced a series of Location Maps for use by OCHA and partnering organizations. The ReliefWeb Location Map is a map that highlights a country, its capital and the surrounding regions. These maps are intended to provide the UN community, as well as the humanitarian community at large, with a product that is useful to put into documents, reports, briefing notes, and websites in providing reference to locations of interest.

Field Guide to Humanitarian Mapping

A tool for humanitarian agencies and NGOs

MapAction has just published a Field Guide to Humanitarian Mapping, a tool for humanitarian agencies and NGOs. It is produced in response to requests from MapAction partner organisations who want to make use of the growing range of GIS and related tools in their work.

This first edition contains:

  • An introduction to spatial data collection and mapping methods both in vulnerability assessment and emergency response.
  • How to use GPS to collect data.
  • A tutorial on using Google Earth in field work.
  • A step-by-step guide to a freely-available open-source GIS software package called MapWindow.
  • Links to other free software tools and data sources.

The guide (188 A5 pages, 3.1MB) can be downloaded from:
http://www.mapaction.org/component/option,com_docman/task,doc_download/gid,912/Itemid,53/
(please visit the home page of Mapaction www.mapaction.org if you have any problems with this link, or email at info@mapaction.org)

The guide is aimed at aid workers who are not GIS specialists, so it may not be useful for those who are already technically advanced in GIS. However, we would greatly appreciate it if you could help to disseminate the guide to anyone whom you think may find it useful. We are particularly trying to reach NGOs.
 
This first edition is very much a ‘beta’ version and mapAction would like to expand and update it later this year; so they are welcoming comments and feedback.
