Project overview
This project aims to identify buildings across Venezuela using satellite imagery. The information collected will help improve the availability and accuracy of maps in areas that may be affected by natural disasters.
Your contributions will support humanitarian mapping efforts and help communities and response teams better understand where buildings are located before an emergency occurs. Every mapped structure contributes to better preparedness for events such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, and other natural hazards.

Download the data
Below you'll find the data downloads for this MapSwipe project, including a GeoJSON file that can be imported into the HOT Tasking Manager for more detailed mapping of the area. If you need more information or if you have a special request related to MapSwipe data get in contact with the team at the Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology
Aggregated Results
Aggregated Results. This gives you the unfiltered MapSwipe results aggregated on the task level. This is most suited if you want to apply some custom data processing with the MapSwipe data, e.g. select only specific tasks. Check our documentation for more details. (Note that you need to unzip this .gz file before you can use it.)

HOT Tasking Manager Geometries
This dataset contains shapes that are ready to use in the HOT Tasking Manager. Currently, the geometries consist of maximum 15 MapSwipe Tasks, where at least 35% of all users indicated the presence of a building by classifying as "yes" or "maybe"
