Geodatabase

The spatial database created using geospatial data sets from different sources. The geospatial sets were processed with the aim of compatibility and reliability.

The geospatial sets are part of a larger whole. The final geodatabase established having in mind the objectives and Observatory methodology but simultaneously implemented such that they can be used generally.

The GeoDatabase consists of a set of data bases with geographical and descriptive characteristics that construct the main infrastructure of the Observatory for indicators calculation and produce maps and reports.
