Type Shapefile
To show the footprints of all buildings of Kosrae.
This dataset shows the footprints of all houses, buildings, and other human-made structures. The shapefile was created by Island Research & Education Initiative (iREi) (2019) by manually digitizing polygons from 2015-2018 WorldView-2satellite imagery by Digital Globe provided by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) - Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).

The dataset is believed to be complete at the time of creation. However, offices (especially smaller organizations) do move and locations may have to be updated.
The absolute accuracy is not known but is assumed to be within few meters.
Visual comparison with WorldView-3 satellite imagery.
The attributes are believed to be accurate. However, it is possible that buildings might have been mis-identified in the imagery.
