What does this dataset contain?

Counts of mapped facilities (health, education, energy, water, economy, heritage) per Syrian governorate and countrywide. Crowdsourced minimum bounds, snapshotted on each sync.

Transformation and methodology

These are counts of features mapped in OpenStreetMap, so they measure mapping activity and coverage rather than the true number on the ground. Community contributors create the data, and coverage may be incomplete or uneven between areas. The data is licensed under ODbL and must be attributed to OpenStreetMap contributors.
