Selecting an Area of Interest

To use this repository, you will need to ensure that you have accurate bounding box coordinates or shapefiles for the areas you wish to analyse.

Bounding Box Coordinates

A bounding box is defined by two points: the minimum latitude and longitude (min_lat, min_lon) representing the southwest corner of the box, and the maximum latitude and longitude (max_lat, max_lon) representing the northeast corner of the box.

You can obtain bounding box coordinates using various mapping tools or online resources such as Google Maps. Simply right-click on the area of interest and select "What's here?" to get the coordinates.

Shapefiles

Shapefiles provide a more precise and complex representation of geographic features. You can create shapefiles using Geographic Information System (GIS) software such as QGIS or ArcGIS, or via various online tools.

Please store the shapefiles in the shapefiles directory within the repository's working directory.
