A new paper, led by Lisa-Marie Hemerijckx, was published in a special issue of Remote Sensing dedicated to methods for population mapping. The article, “Upscaling Household Survey Data Using Remote Sensing to Map Socioeconomic Groups in Kampala, Uganda“, demonstrates a method to upscale household survey data to city level, using satellite information, to create base maps for further analysis. The paper shows the likely distribution of socioeconomic clusters throughout Kampala, and is based on a household survey administered by Food4Cities in Kampala in 2019.
