Maps - Number of people killed due to the conflict in Northern Ireland, Belfast and Derry, between 1969 and 2001, at SOA (Small Output Area) (barchart, 3D) (3 maps)

This set of maps focuses on the urban areas of Belfast and Derry. The maps show the total number of deaths due to the conflict (at Small Output Area), using 3D barcharts. The information used to locate and plot each death is provided by Malcolm Sutton’s Index of Deaths 1969-2001.

There are 582 electoral wards in Northern Ireland as defined by the Boundary Commission for Northern Ireland in 1995. The electoral ward shapefile was downloaded from EDINA borders website.

The ‘peacelines’ erected during the troubles with the intention of minimising conflict at interface areas are identified and located. The peacelines shapefile was downloaded from the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA).

• PDF versions (A4 approx; 300dpi) are based on original TIFF files.
• L-JPG versions (1000px700p approx; 72dpi) are low resolution JPEG images.
• H-JPG versions (A4 approx; 300dpi) are high resolution JPEG images.
