The types and distribution data sets of major projects in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau mainly include major hydropower projects, major road projects, major mining projects, major port projects and oil field projects. Among them, road projects include national highway, high-speed, railway and power grid projects, and hydropower projects are mainly the project point documents of hydropower station dam site. The data is obtained through data collection and remote sensing image interpretation. The main attributes of the project data are project naming (naming method is project type - project name - project construction year, in which the naming method of hydropower project is project type - watershed name - project name - Project storage year), project construction year, related projects and other characteristics. The data has been checked and modified for many times, and the quality is reliable.

File naming and required software

The project distribution data is stored in vector file format, and the file name is road engineering in Qinghai Tibet Plateau SHP, Qinghai Tibet Plateau port project SHP, mining engineering in Qinghai Tibet Plateau SHP, hydropower station project in Qinghai Tibet Plateau SHP, oil field engineering in Qinghai Tibet Plateau shp
All files in the dataset can be opened directly with ArcGIS
