Abstract

Collecting representative survey data on large populations of people can be a very time-consuming and expensive undertaking. But it doesn't have to be; Marco J. Haenssgen and Ern Charoenboon explain how they have used freely available satellite images to survey hard-to-reach communities in Thailand and Laos.
