Seeking global road network data from 2000–2010 for use in HQ model

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have recently encountered some difficulties while using the Habitat Quality model. Specifically, I aim to conduct a habitat quality assessment for multiple global regions from 2000 to 2020. Road network data plays a critical role in influencing habitat quality and cannot be ignored. While OpenStreetMap (OSM) is an excellent data source, it only includes global road network data from 2014 onwards. Data for the period between 2000 and 2010 is scarce and of poor quality.

I would like to inquire whether there is a solution to this issue or if there are any publicly available global road network datasets that I may not be aware of. Thank you very much for your valuable time and guidance.

Sincerely,
Jason

Hi @JasonLee, I don’t know of a specific dataset for your situation, but you might try searching the NatCap Data Hub to see if you can find any datasets there that would help.

Thank you very much for your help, but whether this website is inaccessible now, I have tried to access this website with scholars from all over the country and have failed.

You’re right, the Data Hub is down right now. We are looking into it, and hopefully it will be back online soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!
