2017 Map Data #2

Open colincookman opened 6 years ago

colincookman commented 6 years ago

[ ] 1. Import administrative boundaries current as of November 22 2017 and generated by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
[ ] 2. Create key file matching UN OCHA tehsil administrative boundaries and census dataset subdivisions to allow for mapping of population data to maps
[ ] 3. Create sample tehsil aggregate population map code
[ ] 4. Locate GIS coordinates for census blocks, if available

Need to figure out sub-tehsil positions within UN OCHA key, which does not list them.

This site has sub-tehsil maps, but does not offer public GIS data for administrative boundaries.

Did you find census blocks polygons? Please let me know i need them for a project

colincookman commented 3 years ago

Unfortunately, I don't think this has been released in any usable form at this point, though I'd welcome any leads.

msshamim06 commented 3 years ago

Ok. DO you have Union Council wise population of the 2017 census. That might help me.

colincookman commented 3 years ago

The only publicly available Union Council boundaries I've found so far is this dataset from Alhasan Systems, which I can't verify as official. If we had census block boundaries, it should then be possible to calculate the intersections between census blocks and union councils and (if they don't cross borders, which I expect they might) sum up per-Union Council population totals, but this still requires finding the census block polygons first.

This dataset of polling stations includes a polling station-to-census block electoral area dataset, which I think may be the closest thing available at this point, but we don't have a matching key of union councils to 2018 polling stations (if they line up).
