Project: InaSAFE

Version: 4.1.0

Feature: Detailed demographic breakdowns

In InaSAFE 4.1 we introduce new capabilities for rich reporting of displaced people. The new field mapping tool allows you to identify attributes in your exposure population dataset that represent specific vulnerability attributes e.g. infants, disabled people etc. These attributes will then be used to provide detailed breakdowns of the different vulnerable groups, by aggregation area in the final report. In cases (e.g. raster population data) where these attributes are not available as part of the exposure dataset, ratios can be defined in the aggregation layer keywords to specify which proportion of the population in each area comprises each vulnerable group.

There are several components to this new functionality:

  • a new tool on the InaSAFE toolbar called the 'Field Mapping Tool' which can be used with an aggregation or exposure layer that already has InaSAFE keywords defined. This tool lets you quickly adjust the field mappings, ratios etc. that are used for calculating vulnerability report.
  • a new step in the keywords wizard that integrates the Field Mapping Tool described above
  • A new tab in the InaSAFE options dialog that allows you to define the defaults that should be used for ratios.
  • New reporting elements in the reports generated by the InaSAFE analysis that report on the vulnerable groups per aggregation area.

We have made a detailed walk through of this new functionality in the video provided below.
