Infrastructure data

AIRSTRIPS MAPPING DATA

This is the first version of the mapping of airstrips in the Amazon [January 30, 2023]. It was made from visual interpretation of high resolution satellite images (4 meters, Planet) from cloud-free monthly mosaics from the year 2021, without dissociation between authorized and unauthorized landing strips. The images analyzed were made available by the NICFI (Norway's International Climate & Forests Initiative) program of providing high resolution imagery for the tropics.

The mapping of the airstrips was done by Solved, which also leads the mapping of Mining, Aquaculture and Coastal Zone in MapBiomas. Access it on MapBiomas Platform

The landing strips data are available in the shapefile (with readme guidelines).

INFRASTRUCTURE MODULE DATA

Here you will find the list of all layers of energy and transport infrastructure data available on the MapBiomas platform.

They were compiled from information obtained in several organs including IBGE, ANTT, EPE, ONS, MME, ANAC among others. They were complemented with information from interviews, search in bibliography and internet. For more information about the description of contents and source of transport and energy infrastructure database access the Infrastructure ATBD appendix by clicking here.

Access here the Layers of Infrastructure Glossary.

For part of the data layers, where relevant, files containing the buffer polygons in the infrastructure environment (eg federal roads, hydroelectric) are also available.

All data represents the best database we could compile by August 2021.
