Planning and Monitoring in Limited Access Areas
Use Case Description
Earth Observation (EO) technologies offer powerful capabilities for the ongoing remote supervision of development projects in locations where access is limited due to remoteness, conflict, extreme weather events, or infrastructure limitations, on a global scale. This use case showcases what kinds of development projects and under which conditions can reliably be supervised via EO.
Effective connection of ground-level and EO data allows to effectively close crucial information gaps and feed into project-level decision making processes, and supports the assessment of socio-economic status of localities in view of development interventions to reduce isolation and improve conditions of remote communities.
Vast and remote regions can be systematically covered by satellite remote sensing, overcoming limitations brought by national borders, air-space regulations and field security or accessibility constraints.
