Overview

The UNDP GeoHub is a centralized ecosystem of geospatial data and services to support development policy makers. It connects geospatial knowledge and knowhow across the organization to enhance evidence-based decision making with relevant data-led insights.

Use Cases

Explore and search geospatial layers on vaccines using multiple criteria

GeoHub supports two types of searches: a free text search that is based on the dataset tile and description and a keyword-based search that is using the tags associated with every dataset to match against the search keyword. Mutiple keywords or tags can be combined using the free text search in an inclusive or exclusive way to yield the desired results.

Identify administrative units where more than 50% on settlements had electricity

In this particular use case, the admin units where more than 50% of the settlements have electricity are displayed and labeled in a blue scale choropleth map. The administrative units change dynamically based on the scale of the map going country level to district level.

Key Features

Feature
Discover geospatial layers using free text and keywords

GeoHub contains over 2000 curated geospatial layers and allows users to explore and identify specific geospatial layers either using a free text search or/and using specific tags. This functionality is also available through (Application Programming Interface) API for advanced use cases and integration with other platforms.
Feature
Create simulations and scenarios

Geohub features interactive geospatial layers that can be used to create simulations. Under the hood these layers are in fact state of the art geoprocessing functions that enable the users to perform sophisticated operations and analytics.

Feature
Filter raster and vector geospatial data

Users can leverage wizard-based interfaces to select/filter geospatial data based on various conditions. This can unearth specific spatial patterns and insights that can be used to support data driven decision-making.

Feature
Create and share digital maps

Authenticated users can save and share their maps with other authenticated users or the public users.

Frequently asked questions

    Can I upload my data to GeoHub?
    Can I upload my data to GeoHub?

    Yes. Authenticated users can upload geospatial data in various formats, and they can choose to publish it with GeoHub and make it discoverable. 

    What type of data does GeoHub use?
    What type of data does GeoHub use?

    Geohub uses internally pixelated data layers (image) as well as layers composed of geometric objects like points, lines and polygons. 

    What keywords can I use to search for data?
    What keywords can I use to search for data?

    You can search data using various themes like sustainable development goals, climate, environment, natural hazards, data providers or even geographical areas like countries or regions. The users should use the tags browser to explore the list of available keywords. 

    Can I change an existing map? 
    Can I change an existing map? 

    Yes, in case you are the owner of the map and authenticated. 

    What type of analytics are available? 
    What type of analytics are available? 

    GeoHub will eventually support raster, vector and mixed raster-vector analytics. However currently vector analytics are supported and being implemented like selection/filtering, one layer geoprocessing functions as well as multi-layer pipelines.
