Purpose | Provide non-road land feature class (i.e., forestland, grassland, cropland, settlement, wetland) | Provide a layer of physical barrier in addition to wetland | Provide road land feature class (i.e., major roads, major roads crossing residential areas, secondary roads, local roads) | Provide elevation/slope landscape used for travel speed adjustment for walking | Provide estimated distribution count of live births for a specified travel time catchment | Provide locations of assessed coordinates in the analysis |
↵a The 2010 Tanzania land cover scheme I was used to specify non-road land classes.
↵b Roads are reclassified to reflect the classification scheme used by John Snow, Inc. and Medical Supply Department in the cross-country medical supply route analysis in 2014.18
↵c The layer was created using the mapping methodology described by Tatem et al. (2014).46
