    Abstract

    This dataset is a product of the “Spatial Profiling” initiative, a part of the Community-based Protection and Solutions Programme Response (Co-PROSPER). The project aimed to create an enabling protection environment in Kandahar and Herat cities through spatial profiling, which involved mapping city resources and services, UNHCR’s Persons we Serve (PwS) settlement areas, and analyzing the collected data for evidence-based humanitarian response planning.
    Funded by UNHCR, UN-HABITAT conducted spatial profiling of targeted locations in these cities, including Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) and returnees’ camps/settlements. The project also developed new strategic responses through settlement plans for these locations, recommending strategies like provision of basic services such as water, sanitation, access roads, drainage and flood mitigation measures, and shelter.
    The spatial profiling focused on mapping city resources and services, settlement areas including Land Allocation Scheme (LAS) sites, spontaneous settlements of returnees and IDPs, and private housing schemes. The data collected through the profiling was analyzed for evidence-based programming. This dataset is intended to facilitate the development of new settlement plans for selected settlements in cities, aiming to upgrade the settlements of IDPs in target areas and provide durable solutions for the inhabitants.
