Overview
Title
Population Density of Phuket Island
Abstract
The map illustrates coastal areas under 20 meters in elevation, as well as towns which fall within this zone. The 20 m value was selected to account for the margin of vertical error with the SRTM dataset (~15 meters). The 20 m coastal zone is not a direct indication of areas affected by the 26 December 04 Tsunami-only those areas which may have suffered damage. This map was produced for the UNOSAT project headed by UNITAR and executed by UNOPS. Data Source: JPL, Global Insight, Landscan02. Elevation Data: SRTM (3 arc second). Resolution: 90m horizontal/16m vertical. Scale is 1:100000 for A3 prints. The depiction and use of boundaries, geographic names and related data shown here are not warranted to be error-free nor do they necessarily imply official endorsement or acceptance by the United Nations.
Purpose
The International Charter on Space and Major Disaster aims at providing a unified system of space data acquisition and delivery to those affected by natural or man-made disasters through authorized users. Since 1 July 2003 the Charter is available to support the UN with satellite imagery.
