This program uses ESA CCI landcover data from ESA CCI viewer to develop Evaluation maps for Geodesignhub. It uses simple rules to parse the existing data and build evaluation maps that can be used directly on Geodesignhub as evaluation maps. CCI data is available at 300m resolution at a worldwide so this tool can be used to make evaluation maps only any site across the world. It is recommended that you use this for slightly larger sites.
Making evaluation maps is the most time consuming part of a Geodesign study, using this script it can be automated. The following evaluation maps are generated:
- Urban (URB / Housing (HSG) + Industry (IND) + Commerce(COM))
- Agriculture (AG)
- Industrial (IND)
- Forests (FOR)
- Hydrology (HYDRO)
- Green Infrastructure (GI)
Find out more about evaluation maps at the Making Evaluations Maps in our community page.

Use the requirements.txt file to install libraries that are required for the tool, Python 3 enviornment is recommended:
pip install -r requirements.txt
1. Download raw data
- Go to ESA CCI viewer to order and download the CCI raster data and clip it to your area of interest in QGIS or other software.
- Convert the clipped area to Vector by using the
Polygonizecommand for e.g. in QGIS - Put this file in the
workingfolder - Update the
config.pyfile to update the location of Area of Interest
2. Update config.py
- Set the boundary parameter to set the
aoifileattribute to a publiclly available boundary of the study area.
3. Upload Evaluations
- Run the
CCI-evaluations-generator.pyscript and check theoutputfolder for the Evaluation GeoJSON that can be uploaded to Geodesignhub for your project. - If you are familiar with
