GIS and Environmental Mapping in Tunisia

Overview

GIS and environmental mapping in Tunisia place a project in relation to sensitive areas, homes and regulatory constraints. AHEC produces the maps required in impact assessments and supports site and route selection, using field data, satellite imagery and Tunisian mapping data, in the coordinate systems used in Tunisia.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does GIS bring to an impact assessment?

It locates the project, sensitive areas, homes and regulatory constraints, and produces the maps the file requires.

In which formats do you deliver data?

Shapefile, GeoPackage, KMZ, DWG and PDF, in the coordinate system you need.

Do you use satellite imagery?

Yes, for land use, tracking change over time and hard-to-reach areas.
