# Urban Tree Census Data

This dataset was collected as part of the **Urban Tree Observatory Project in Ibagué, Colombia**.  
It includes georeferenced records of urban trees, taxonomic details, physical measurements, and climate and observational data.  
The main goal is to build and populate a structured PostgreSQL database using Django and SQLAlchemy.

## Contents

- `biodiversity.csv`: Main biodiversity registry per observed tree.
- `climate.csv`: Historical climate data associated with monitoring stations in Ibagué.
- `measurements.csv`: Physical measurements per tree (total height, DBH, volume, crown diameter, etc.).
- `observations.csv`: Information health condition, observations on field etc.
- `places.csv`: Geographic information where trees are located (name, neighborhood, municipality).
- `taxonomy.csv`: Taxonomic classification per unit (family, genus, species, common name).
- `traits.csv`: Functional traits per species such as maximum height, carbon sequestration potential etc.

## Objective

To build a comprehensive database that enables ecological and functional analysis of urban trees, supporting applications like urban observatories, decision-making tools, and monitoring web platforms.

## Data Source

The original dataset was downloaded from the official open data portal of Colombia:  
[Urban Tree Census in Ibagué - Secretaría de Ambiente y Gestión del Riesgo](https://www.datos.gov.co/Ambiente-y-Desarrollo-Sostenible/Censo-de-Arbolado-urbano-en-Ibagu-Sria-Ambiente-y-/am4p-tz7w/about_data)

The data was then cleaned, curated, and transformed by the local team of Omdena — **GIBDET Colombia Chapter**.  
This process included designing a relational SQL schema, normalizing and enriching the dataset, and building a Geodatabase in **PostgreSQL + PostGIS** to support geospatial analysis and web-based applications.
