Syria Tracker is a crowdsourced effort began collecting reports from the country in April 2011; just a few weeks after the first protests began. Unfortunately, for the security of those reporting from within Syria, most reports are not fixed to a GPS location. Users that submit reports via the website can graphically indicate a location on the map. Reports by twitter are mapped to the lowest level of detail based on the description and recorded as a Lat Lon. We have used an GIS application to reverse map against shapefiles for the Syrian Administrative districts at levels 1, 2, and 3, and can now correlate death reports with elements from the Syrian 2004 Census, which, although not necessarily the most current, can still provide some understanding.
