Neighbourhoodslimits were delineated based on Wikipedia and Google Maps. Area of Interest provided by JRC.Inset maps: Administrative boundaries (GADM 2015).All data sources are complete and with no gaps.
Detailed mapping of three AOIs in Libya: Benghazi city, Benghazí s Aerodrome (El Benina) and Al-Jawf, in the Al-Kufra district.The core users of the map are the Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI) of the European Commission andUnited Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat). The potential additional users of the mapare other Humanitarian Aid Operators involved in in-field operations.The scope of the map production is to generate a general reference content of the pre-event situationand a damage assessment after the violent conflict between parties in Libya. The conflict started inMay-2014 and it is still ongoing.
Map products are available in the Copernicus EMS Portal at the following URL:http://emergency.eu/mapping/list-of/components/EMSN033.Delivery formats are GeoPDFand GeoJPEG and vectors.No restrictions on the publication of the mapping apply.All products are © of the European Union.
The products elaborated in the framework of current mapping in Risk and Recovery mode activationare realized to the best of our ability, optimising the available data and information. All geographicinformation has limitations due to scale, resolution, date and interpretation of the original datasources. The products are compliant with Copernicus EMS Risk and Recovery Product Portfoliospecif ications.
The present map shows night lights in the AOIs # 01 Benghazi and # 02 Aerodrome (Libya) at 700mresolution. Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument is able to measure light emittedin populated places during the night over cloud free areas. The use of this instrument enables themonitoring of cities, towns and villages without power within the AOIs and allows comparing the radianceresults between June 2012 and December 2016.Night Light images are accompanied by basic topographic features such as transportation andneighbourhoods. Some of these basic topographic features are derived from public datasets, refined bymeans of visual interpretation of pre-event image .Other specifically required features have been produced from scratch by means of photo interpretation ofpre-event image .All satellite images have been pre-processed to convert the original HDF5 format into a GeoTiff. Allsatellite images have been radiometrically enhanced and georeferenced.The estimated geometric accuracy of this product is 750 m CE90, from native positional accuracy of thebackground satellite image.The estimated thematic accuracy of this product is 80% or better, as it is based on visual interpretation ofrecognizable items on very high resolution optical imagery.Only the area enclosed by the Area of Interest has been analysed.
