Create a mapping between the VDC geo codes for NepalMap and the names of VDCs in the census data files

[cliftonmcintosh]

Each of the VDCs that are in the census-data CSV files need to be mapped to the unique geo code for each VDC in NepalMap.

The NepalMap codes for each VDC are in the vdc_geo_code column in this file.

Many of them will be easy because the name in the census-data files is the same as the name in the vdc column in vdcs-from-geojson.csv. That name was taken from the geo data files downloaded from http://gadm.org/. However, not all mappings will be easy. Some mappings will require a person to manually choose.

I think we need a python dictionary that looks something like this:

vdc_geo_code_mappings = {
    'SomeDistrictName': {
        'FIRSTVDCFORTHATDISTRICT': 'this-VDCs-geo-code-for-nepalmap',
        'ANOTHERVDCFORTHATDISTRICT': 'this-VDCs-geo-code-for-nepalmap'
    },
    'Accham': {
        'BABALA': '2274',
        'BAIJINATH': '2275'
    },
    'Arghakhanchi': {
        'ADGURI': '3571'
    }
}

The district name key in the dictionary (like Accham above) should be the name of the district directory in the census-data project. the VDC name key in the nested dictionaries (like BABALA above) should be the value in the VDC/MUNICIPALITY column in the census-data CSV files. The geo code value (like 2274 above) should be the value in the vdc_geo_code column in the vdcs-from-geojson.csv file.

There are a couple of duplicates in the mappings, and I want to check with you about what to do with them.

In the Syangja district, two VDCs are mapped to the code 3468: "BANGSING DEURALI": 3468, "BENETHOK DEURALI": 3468

I think BANGSING DEURALI can be mapped to 3522, which is "Wangsing Deurali" in the vdcs-from-geojson.csv

In Ramechhap, there are two VDCs mapped to code 650: "BHALUWAJOR": 650, "GAGAL BHADAURE": 650

I think BHALUWAJOR can be mapped to 680, which is "Maluwajor" in the vdcs-from-geojson.csv

I will proceed with this change. Please let me know if you think that is incorrect.

Yes, please proceed.
