Hi, I'm looking to work on a data project that tries to understand the spatial distribution of the recovery process in Haiti since the earthquake in Jan, 2010.
These are the ideas I have had so far: - map where the new schools / hospitals etc have opened - map the current status of houses that were marked as damaged - map the status of roads that were closed and new road construction - map the current status of internal migration camps (have they decreased?) I was thinking of using satellite imagery to get at some of these questions, but it struck me that OSM might be a more convenient way to get at these them, provided we are able to capture things like new school openings / hospital openings and the fixing of houses / roads. There is very little data about how the recovery process is going, and this would be a crucial input to making people aware of the nature of the problem. Does anyone have a sense if OSM data will be useful for what I'm trying to do? I gather that data in PaP might be more uptodate, but I'm particularly interested in the measuring activity in the semi-urban / rural areas, because I have a hunch that the recovery effort has neglected a lot of places. Any ideas on going forward would be great.
