Mapping and Data — Swiss Network with Ukraine

Mapping Ukraine

Mapping Ukraine (MU) is a virtual platform initiated at the ETH Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry which aims to provide independent, open and intuitive access to verified, comprehensive, geo-referenced information on the impact of war on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. Images, videos, 3D models, publicly available data as well as geographic information provided by volunteers are automatically collected, verified, tagged, integrated and made available on the platform. This information constitutes the spatio-temporal evidence and a register of damage to be used by professionals such as researchers, engineers, journalists, and the broad public.

The alpha version of the platform demonstrates its use and versatility through a variety of thematically- and geographically-organised cases. It shows how the platform can be used for a wide variety of purposes, such as documentation of property damage, supporting a resource-efficient and sustainable reconstruction, and providing information necessary to claim compensation for the war damage and destruction.

The platform is not yet public at this time.
