Subject- SOP for Geo-Tagging incase of non-availability of Ima: nd Maps
Pakistan Bureau of Statistics has procured high resolution imagery from SUPARCO with
purpose to facilitate enumerators during field operation as well as to enhance the accuracy of geo-
tagging of structures amid the 7" Population and Housing Census. However, due to some technical
complexities an alternative plan was deemed necessary. Therefore, the following procedure is devised
which is to be followed in case if the SUPARCO imagery is not/partially downloaded or not properly
Urdu translation is also attached for convenience of field staff.
i In order to facilitate the enumerator, two types of maps “Satellite Imagery by SUPARCO’ and |
“Open Streen Map’ are provided in enumeration application. Enumerator can switch between
them by clicking “osm-maps' or" |
ii, For improved geo-tagging, the enumerator should wait for the GPS to acquire location and if the
GPS location is fetched then it is recommended that the enumerator use the same location and
do not change it. |
il, If GPS location cannot be found the enumerator will mark the location by carefully looking at |
SUPARCO Imagery. |
iv. Incase SUPARCO imagery is not visible in Application, Open Street Map (OSM) is provided as
an alternative (osm-maps).
vy. In case SUPARCO Imagery is not available and OSM map is also blank/not available or is not
helpful in identifying the location, then try to capture GPS location by moving around in the near
area e.g. move to closest open air point then location will be captured.
vi. fall the above options are not successful, then the following approach is to be used.
Note: This approach should only be used if enumerators has sufficiently tried to capture
GPS location by moving around in nearest open space.
| “The enumerator will use provided manual map of block and block boundary displayed in
application for estimating his/her location and mark the location according to his/her
understanding.”
