publisher Bright, Edward A. originator Coleman, Philip R. originator Rose, Amy N. originator mapDigital East View LandScan Global Population Database 2012 This release represents the fourteenth version of LandScan and succeeds all previous versions. It is recommended that users of previous versions of LandScan replace any earlier version with LandScan 2012. Improvements that have been incorporated into the LandScan 2012 Global Population Database are outlined below: Updated results from the 2010 - 2012 rounds of census activities for numerous countries have been released and were integrated into this version of LandScan. These new data allow for significant refinements in the population distribution. For temporal consistency, census counts were normalized to match the July 2012 national population estimates provided by the CIA World Factbook. However, due to the dramatic effects on population distribution precipitated by the ongoing crisis in Syria and considering the demand for more current population data for that area, the total population for Syria and the neighboring nations were adjusted to account for refugee and internally displaced persons movements as of June 2013. Output from ORNL’s “Settlement Mapper Tool” (which rapidly delineates and characterizes settlements using high-resolution imagery) was incorporated in this version of LandScan. NGA’s Controlled Image Base (CIB) imagery and other high-resolution imagery sources were used extensively for verification and validation, for refining urban built-up areas, for adding thousands of smaller villages and populated places, and for the identification and mitigation of input data anomalies to improve the spatial precision and values of the population distribution. The population distribution for the United States was based on calculations derived from the eighth edition of ORNL’s LandScan USA product [a very high resolution (3 arc-second ~90 meter resolution) population database of nighttime and daytime population distribution made available to qualified users of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/NGA Homeland Security Infrastructure Program (HSIP) data]. LandScan USA 2012 incorporates U.S. Census boundary geometry for the 2010 Census as well as 2010 baseline block-level population counts and 2012 Census estimates. In this version, changes to the population distribution for Japan include impacts due to the 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant incident. Resultant population displacements including shelters and temporary housing were integrated into the distribution. Because of these refinements we advise against cell-by-cell comparison between LandScan 2012 and earlier versions of LandScan. A ESRI grid of areas of 30 second cells. The data table (VAT) contains the cell areas in the field: [Area]. The units are square kilometers. Tha Value Field simply represents a row number for a specific Latitude. All cells on the same row have the same area. Cell areas are largest at the equator and smallest at the poles. This dataset is part of the LandScan 2012 Global Population Database. The LandScan 2012 Global Population Database was developed for the U. S. Department of Defense. The data allows for quick and easy assessment, estimation, and visualization of populations-at-risk.
