Method: what we add to the raw data

The 16 land-use classes were translated into Arabic, and each polygon's area computed in hectares on UTM.
Every polygon, school and health facility was linked to one of 111 neighbourhoods with Arabic and English names.
For each neighbourhood, the share of each land use and the counts of schools and health facilities were computed.
The 2004 census population per neighbourhood was summed from a differently divided neighbourhood layer by location.
Health facility types were translated, and redundant duplicate school fields were dropped.
