DEFINITIONCountry Name in English.

Continent Name in English: continent to which each country belongs (United Nations classification of continents).

United Nations Continent Code: numeric code, unique for each continent.United Nations Country Code: numeric code, unique for each country.United Nations Country Code (long): numeric code, unique for each country.

United Nations Regional Divisions: sets of countries aggregated to form named regions.

International Organization for Standardization, two-letter country code: two-character code unique to each country.

United Nations Statistics Division code: numeric code unique to each country.

Land area in square kilometers from the United Nations Statistics Division.

Name association with level one administrative units: name assigned by the data provider.Name association with level two administrative units: name assigned by the data provider.Name association with level three administrative units: name assigned by the data provider.Name association with level four administrative units: name assigned by the data provider.Name association with level five administrative units: name assigned by the data provider.




International Organization for Standardization, three-letter country code: three character code unique to each country.

Measure of the effective resolution of administrative units in kilometers; calculated as the square root of the land area divided by the number of administrative units.

Average population per administrative unit; 2000 population estimate divided by the number of units. All figures are rounded and expressed per thousand.

Level of administrative united used for GPW gridding; the administrative unit levels are categorized as follows: 0=country, 1=state/province, 2=county (or equivalent), 3= sub-county units (e.g., census units such as tracts or subdivisions), 4=local statistical area, and 5=sub-locations. Note that some data have lower levels available (e.g., India) but they were not always used.

Total number of administrative units at the level used: sum of the unique administrative units (not unique polygons, units may be split across polygons) at the level used for gridding GPW v3.

First year of population figures used to adjust data to 1990 and 1995 estimates. Where only one year of population estimates was obtained, that date is given in RefYearLast and this field is left empty.

Latest year of population figures used to adjust data to 1990 and 1995 estimates. Where only one year of population figures exists, it is referenced here and UN figures were used to adjust the data to 1990 and 1995.

Population estimate for 1990 based on figures produced by national statistical agency (or similar institutions): the sum of administrative unit population estimates for each country, after interpolation or extrapolation to 1990 (if necessary). All figures are rounded and expressed per thousand.





DEFINITION










United Nations national level population estimate for 1990 in thousands of persons. All figures are rounded and expressed per thousand.







Percent difference between country estimate from source data and the UN estimate for 1990. This percentage is calculated based on the difference between P90E and UN_P90; it was used to adjust the administrative unit population counts from each data provider so that they summed to the same total as the UN estimate for producing the UN adjusted population grids.

Percent difference between country estimate from source data and the UN estimate for 2000. This percentage is calculated based on the difference between P00E and UN_P00; it was used to adjust the administrative unit population counts from each data provider so that they summed to the same total as the UN estimate for producing the UN adjusted population grids.





DEFINITION

The mean size of the urban spatial areas by sq.km.The sum of all of the urban spatial areas by sq.km.

The largest urban spatial area by populationThe smallest urban spatial areaby populationThe mean size of the urban spatial areas by populationThe sum of the population of all urban spatial areas.

Percetange of a country's total land area that is taken up by urban spatial extents.

Percentage of a country's total population that is in urban spatial extents.

Percentage of a country's total population that is considered urban.

Number of urban extents that came from the Nighttime Lights source data.

Number of urban extents that came from the regressions performed by CIESIN.

Number of urban extents that came from the Digital Chart of the World source data.Number of urban extents that came from the other source data not previously listed.

The settlement point population data provider and listings of other associated reference materials.

The settlement point coordinate data provider and listings of other associated reference materials.

The number of populated places as defined by their latitude and longitude coordinates. This includes cities, towns, villages, and other populated sites.

The Athieme District (administrative 2 level , in the Mono Province (administrative 1 level), was split to form Athieme District and Lokossa District. The division was based on a map found at: http://www.uni-hohenheim.de/~atlas308/c_benin/projects/c1_1/html/english/bframe_en_c1_1b.htm . Population was estimated for the two newly created units based on their relative distributions in 1992.

Botswana Census of 1991, Digital file obtained through the Software Development Project, UN Statistics Division and Botswana Village Populations 1971, 81 and 91, Digital file obtained through the UNSD POPMAP project (contains district populations).

(1) Tuli district was merged with 3 districts: Palapye, Machaneng, and Bobonong. The population 1990 data for Tuli was split equally 3 ways and added to each district's population 1990 total. P00 data for Tuli region is assumed to be part of those three districts. (2) 2000 data for Kgalagadi South was split and distributed to 2 districts, Tshabong and Gemsbok, in proportion to their population 1990 estimates. 2000 data for Kgalagadi North was assigned to Hukunsti district. (3) The population 2000 figure for South East district was created by adding 2000 data for South East and Lobatse (4) The population 2000 data for Serowe and Palapye districts were created by splitting the 2000 Serowe/Palapye figure and distributing it according to the population 1990 proportions. (5) Ngwaketse South and Ngwaketse Central were merged, and the population 1990 figures for each one (exact same number) were assumed to be a repeat, so only one set of data was assigned to the merged polygon (Ngwaketse South). 2000 data for Southern district was then split in proportion to the population 1990 data, with South and Central assumed to be one data entry, and assigned to Ngwaketse North and South. Then, 2000 data for Ngwaketse West was added to Ngwaketse North. (6) 2000 data for Delta district was added to Ngamiland East district. (7) 2000 data for Francistown and North East was added and assigned to Masungu district. (8) 2000 data for Central Boteti was assigned to Machaneng (9) 2000 data for Orapa was assigned to Lethlakane (10) Kweneng South district was renamed Kweneng West, and the population 2000 total was found by adding Kweneng West and Jwaneng (11) Kweneng North district was renamed Kweneng East. (12) 2000 data for Central Bobonong and Selibe Phikwe was added and assigned to Bobonong district. (13) "Central" was deleted from any related district names (14) 2000 data for Sowa district and CKGR district was not assigned to any districts due to lack of information on location (about 3,500 people).

Abidjan--République de Côte d'Ivoire, Institut National de la Statistique, Bureau Technique du Recensement. The 1990 population figure is based on the OECD/Club du Sahel West Africa Long Term Perspective Study (WALTPS), and was estimated by Benoit Ninnin, based on these sources: Etude d'une Image - Long Terme de l'Afrique; Atlas Jeune Afrique; Republique de la Cote d'Ivoire: Ministere du Plan et de la Comptabilite Nationale: Recensement general de la population et de l'habitat, 1988: a: Resultats provisoires par localite. b: Exploitation et comparaison 1965/1975/1988; Seminaire national de presentation des resultats du RGPH, 1988.

The 1998 census included 8 new department (administative 2 level) units-- all 8 were previously considered sous-prefectures (administrative 3 level). These are: Alepe, Dabou, Jacqueville, Tiebissou, Bocanda, Adiake, Grand-Bassam, and Toulepleu. New spatial data were not available to match these changes therefore the population of these units were redistributed into their respective parent department units (administrative level 2).

Boundaries were digitized from the CIA map "Libya" dated 5-93. See http://www.lib.utexas.edu/Libs/PCL/Map_collection/africa/Libya.GIF. Projection information was included on the map, but the scale was not. Due to the small cartographic scale of the map, however, the accuracy of the boundaries is very low. This may not matter much in the uninhabited desert areas, but may lead to errors in the urbanized coastal regions - particularly around Tripoli.

These boundaries were initially produced for the UNEP/GRID-WRI-NCGIA Africa Population Database (see the GRID-Sioux Falls Web site at http://grid2.cr.usgs.gov).

Spatial and population data for the main Island of Mauritius is for administrative level 3. However, due to lack of spatial data for other islands, the same level of detail could not be employed for the surrounding areas. The Island of Rodrigues, however, was added at administrative level 2. This was done via coastline data (built in to polygons) extracted from the NOAA coastline extractor (http://rimmer.ngdc.noaa.gov/coast/getcoast.html). Arbitrary administrative IDs were assigned (unique per island in the group surrounding Rodrigues) and the population was assigned to the main island only.

The original data were compiled in POPMAP which at that time did not support true geo-referencing. Source map scale and projection were unknown. The data were first transformed into Transverse Mercator Projection (which resulted in the lowest error among several possible projections evaluated) and then projected into lat/long (ie, geographic) coordinates. Rubbersheeting was then performed on the resulting coverage to improve the match with the country and coastal outline from the Digital Chart of the World (DCW). Thus, the coverage is suitable for regional and continental scale applications as well as for visualization of spatial pattern using census data. It should not be used for high resolution applications at the sub-national level.

The administrative unit of Alaiskii split into the two units of Chon Alai and Alay between 1989 and 1999. In order to create a set of matching boundaries between the two time periods, a boundary line was digitized in Alaiskii and the two units were renamed Chon Alai and Alay.

The administrative units of Kantskii and Issyk-Atinskii merged to form Isyk-Ata between 1989 and 1999. The two were therefore aggregated in the shapefile.

Part of the administrative unit Jumgal (previously called Dzhumgalskii) was split off and added to Jaiyl. In order to reflect this change, a line was digitized into Jumgal using SALB boundaries as a reference.

Two district polygons, lying at the boundary between Jaccobabad and Ghotki districts, lacked any quantitative information. They were therefore merged back into the larger, subsuming polygon district from which they were most likely derived (one each into Jaccobabad and Ghotki).

The last Angolan census was carried out in 1970. All population data published in the Statistical Yearbooks and other publications (e.g., the Economist's Intelligence Unit Report) are estimates that were produced by the National Statistics Institute, in 1987, based on the 1970 data. Due to civil war, considerable displacement of people has taken place since the 1970 census. Thus, population figures should be interpreted with caution. The base year population use here was 1990 projected population from the INE publication in 1987 and were extrapolated to 1995 and 2000 using growth rates derived from United Nations national level estimates and projections.

Localities with a population of 2,000 or more.

9 population units were consolidated to match to the shapefile single unit: Nyabigina (Buj) /Bujumbura. These are: Buyenzi (36,782), Bwiza (35425), Cibitoke (47,061), Kamenge (55,653), Kinama (33,858), Musaga (39,337), Ngagara (19762), Nyakabiga (21,229), and Rohero (29,991).

District level data were available for 1974, but only province level data could be obtained for 1984. Province level growth rates were originally used for interpolation, except for communes (6 major cities) for which data was available for 1974 and 1984, for Brazzaville and Pointe Noire also for 1960 from UNSTAT. These cities were treated explicitly, while the residual population in the corresponding district was interpolated using aggregate province growth rates. These data were used to estimate population in 1990 at the district level.

No detailed population data were available for the Turkish controlled area of Cyprus, thus all subnational units in this area were dissolved into one polygon and assigned a single population value. The population values estimated by calculating the difference between "Total estimated population including estimates of Turkish Cypriots" and "Population in the Government controlled area" for 1992 and 2001.The 'Anthoupoli Refugee Housing Estate' unit is not listed in the boundary file, but the census Web site suggests it is part of the Lakatameia municipality; therefore the populations of the two areas were aggregated.

Thus, the proportional growth of each of the 13 territories was calculated between 1989 and 2002 to extrapolate the 1989 figures to 2002.

Because 2000 census estimates were not produced for the Kabopaten of Pidie, the 2000 Desa-level units were merged up to the Kabupaten level and then 1990 Kabupaten-level populations were extrapolated forward to the target years.

Coincindentally, there are a lot of desa polygons in Kabopaten 170 without a matching population. About a third of the mismatches in this province were sorted out by using the desa name. However, for the remaining desas in both Kabopatens 170 and 180 were sorted out using the following method: Total population for Prop 11 from the population data and the the matched data in the shapefile were calculated and the difference distributed equally to desas without matching population. This assumes that the population of the desas without matching polys have been covered in this method so that their population was

Although the State (administrative 1 level) population data for 1985 and 1990–1997 were based on the 1983 census, the 1983 census was not directly used for computing growth rates. It is believed that artifically high rates are produced when the 1983 census is incorporated into the calculations. This is partially because the state of Kawthulei (Karen) had a population that doubled from 1983 (633,000) to 1985 (1,109,000), but from 1985 the increase in population is gradual. Also, it was reported that there were approximately 1,183,005 persons residing in inaccessible areas during the 1983 census, Kawthulei may have been one of these areas. Thus growth rate at level 1 from 1985 to 1997 were applied to 1983 level 2 population to estimate 1990, 1995 and 2000.
