WorldPop Project Population Data: Estimated Residential Population per 100x100m Grid Square [deprecated]
High-resolution, contemporary data on human population distributions are a prerequisite for the accurate measurement of the impacts of population growth, for monitoring changes, and for planning interventions. The WorldPop project aims to meet these needs through the provision of detailed and open access population distribution datasets built using transparent and peer-reviewed approaches.
Full details on the methods and datasets used in constructing the data, along with open access publications, are provided on the WorldPop website. In brief, recent census-based population counts matched to their associated administrative units are disaggregated to ≈100x100m grid cells through machine learning approaches that exploit the relationships between population densities and a range of geospatial covariate layers. The datasets depict estimated number of people residing in each grid cell in 2010, 2015, and other years.
Further WorldPop gridded datasets on population age structures, poverty, urban growth, and population dynamics are freely available on the WorldPop website. WorldPop represents a collaboration between researchers at the University of Southampton, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, and University of Louisville. The project is principally funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
关于人类人口分布的高分辨率和当代数据是准确测量人口增长的影响、监测变化和规划干预措施的先决条件。世界人口项目旨在通过提供使用透明和同行评议的方法建立的详细和开放的人口分布数据集来满足这些需求。
关于构建数据的方法和数据集的全部细节,以及公开访问的出版物,都在WorldPop网站上提供。简而言之,通过机器学习方法,利用人口密度和一系列地理空间协变量层之间的关系,将最近基于人口普查的人口计数与相关的行政单位相匹配,分解到≈100x100米的网格单元。这些数据集描述了2010年、2015年和其他年份居住在每个网格单元的估计人数。
更多关于人口年龄结构、贫困、城市增长和人口动态的WorldPop网格化数据集可在WorldPop网站上免费获取。WorldPop是南安普顿大学、布鲁塞尔自由大学和路易斯维尔大学的研究人员之间的合作。该项目主要由比尔和梅林达-盖茨基金会资助。
