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

Bangladesh Central Statistical Office, Census of 1991, digital
data obtained from the UNSD/POPMAP Project..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 2001 Census data assigned four Zila
units (Hobiganh, Moulavibazar, Sylhet, and Sunamganj) to the new
Sylhet Division. These units split from the Chittagong Divison.
Population data were extrapolated to target years of 1990, 1995
and 2000 using Zila (administrative level 2) inter-censal growth
rates applied to the 1991 Thana (administrative level 3) population

5,000 persons in continuous collection of houses where the
community sense is well developed and the community maintains
public utilities, such as, roads, street lighting, water supply,
sanitary arrangements etc. These places are generally centres of
trade and commerce where the labour force is mostly nonagricultural
and literacy levels are high. An area that has urban
characteristics but has fewer than 5,000 inhabitants may, in
special cases, be considered
urban.1301,282678.3510,1859,804,9328,45823606530,688,4437.4725.225.6864400Bangladesh

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). To match the 1991 population with the boundary data, the
following adjancement were made. First the populations listed
separately for urban areas were added to the corresponding
districts. Next it was determined which district populations needed
to be split into which units in the GIS coverage: Central
Serowe/Palapye into Serowe and Palapye; Tuli population was
estimated as a share of the Palapye; Machaneng and Bobonong
populations; Kweneng into Kweneng South and North; Ngwaketse into
Ngwaketse North Central and South; The shares were determined as
follows: First the population of urban places in the districts were
assigned to the correct districts (usually the coordinates were
obtained from the Times Atlas and the district into which the place
falls was determined using the GIS coverage). Next the residual
population was split weighted by area; where this would make little
sense due to the nature of the districts' terrain, uniform shares
were used. 2000 population for Serowe and Palapye districts were
created by splitting the 2000 Serowe/Palapye figure and
distributing it according to the 1991proportions. For the 2000
population, Ngwaketse South and Ngwaketse Central polygons . The
2000 data for Southern district was then split in proportion to the
1991 population distribution, 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. 1991 and
2000 population of data for Delta district was added to Ngamiland
East district. 1991 and 2000 population for Francistown and North
East was added and assigned to Masungu district. 1991 and 2000 data
for Central Boteti was assigned to Machaneng 1991 and 2000
population for Orapa was added to Lethlakane 1991 and 2000
population for Central Bobonong and Selibe Phikwe was added and
assigned to Bobonong district. 2000 data for Sowa district added to
Tutuma and CKGR district added to Ghanzi. 2000 data for Kgalagadi
South was split and distributed to two districts -- Tshabong and
Gemsbok -- in proportion to their 1991 estimates. 2000 data for
Kgalagadi North was assigned to Hukunsti district. 1991 and 2000
population of Lobatse added to South East district population.

the UNSTAT/POPMAP ProjectBoundary changes occured at the district
level between 1994 and 1998. The 1998 population data was thus
aggregated and/or re-proportioned to match the 1994 boundaries. For
a complete description of these changes.Many of the 1994 district
(administrative level 2) units were split into multiple units by
1998. Additionally, the boundary divisions between these units
changed in some cases. We reaggregated the population of the 1998
units to match the 1994 boundaries as follows:* Sampov Lun, Malai,
and Ou Chrov (1998) were aggregated to match Serey Sophorn (1994).
* Bavel, Phnum Proek, and Kamrieng (1998) were aggregated to match

municipios of Isla de Pascua and Juan Fernandez located in the
Valparaiso region, were added to the original shapefile from
Instituto Nacional de Estadsticas based on the interactive map
available from the Chile census office, at
http://www.ine.cl/cd2002/index.php . Because these islands were
rendered in a generalized way, they are not considered to be
acurately georeferenced.Recent boundary divisions were accomodated
in the following attribution of population: - We assign the
populations of Aisen and Cisnes municipios to Cisnes, although
rendered as two separate polygons in the interactive map, our
shapefile indicated only one polygon, Cisnes, which visual
approximates the size and shape of these two municipalities
combined. - The following muncipios were merged into Chilena Punta
Rio Natales: Antartic Chilena, Punta Arenas, Rio Verde (Is), and
Natalie (Is) (also called Puerto Natales). They were assigned a
single, total population value.- Cabo de Hornos merges the
municipalities of Timaukel and Cabo de Hornes. - In Atacama region,
the muncipios of Copiapo and Cladera are merged. - In Metropolitana
region, in the province of Talagante, the municipio Penaflor and
Padre Hurtado are merged. - The following muncipios within Region
Metropolitana, Provincia Santiago are treated as Provincia Santiago

1990 and 1995 population estimates were added to GPW3 units from
GPW2 as follows: 1) GPW2 polygons projected to match GPW3
coordinate system with slight adjustment in false northing to
compensate for misalignment 2) Converted projected GPW2 polygons to
centroids 3) Visually-inspected centroids to ensure placement
within appropriate GPW3 polygon (verified by comparing to
administrative unit names) and moved when necessary 4) Where
disaggregation occurred, centroids were copied and pasted to
corresponding empty polygons. 5) Performed spatial join in ArcMap
to assign GPW2 attributes to the new polygons and assigned the sum
of each population attribute if there were multiple centroids
within each polygon 6) Inspected data to ensure no data loss 7)
Data were converted to lat/long coordinates.Population 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.
Population data were extrapolated to the years 1995 and 2000 using
regional growth rates between 1984 and
1996.221,251,37610,293118,479.68Communes of Brazzaville and

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 were 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. (2) 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. (3) District level

website the most recent census was conducted in 2001, but in the UN
website
http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/sources/census/censusdates.htm,
the census happened in 2002.
Because of the high growth rate between 1994 and 2001, i.e.,
population increased from 0.4M in 1994 to 1.01M in 2001, the result
of the most recent census (2001/2002) of Equatorial Gunea is
purported to be inflated, -- "Although the 2002 census estimated
the population at 1,015,000, credible estimates put the number at
closer to 500,000. The opposition claimed that the Government
inflated the census in anticipation of the December presidential
election." this statement from US Department of State:

(administrative level 1) population growth rate was calculated
between 1990 and 2000 and applied to the muncipality units

.Komesha Wereda was manually split from Asosa Wereda based on the
map from: http://www.telecom.net.et/~undp-eue/reports/Benish96.jpg
.Population for Dire Dawa Town was added to Gurgura Wereda as the
town population from the census is within this unit; Mekele Wereda
was relabeled in the census data from Region 1, Zone 4, Wereda 9 to
Region 1, Zone 5, Wereda 1 to match spatial data; For the two
regions that had no census data, population for the units was
estimated based on input data used in GPW version 2 for the years
1984-86. Several units in these regions did not match spatially.
The new and old units were intersected and population was allocated
proportionally to the new areas.
1994 population data were extrapolated to target years using
growth rates derived from United Nations national level estimates
and projections.4072,890,9471,03620,295.80Localities with 2,000

population data for regions, municipalities, towns and villages:
http://www.hagstova.fo/Welcome_uk.html .To assign municipal and
regional populations, a hybrid of Region (administrative level 1)
and Municipality (administrativelevel 2) internal boundaries were
created:
(1) Region STREYMOY ANNARS was combined with region TRSHAVNAR KI
as they are on the same island; (2) Region NORARA EYSTUROY and
region SYRA EYSTUROY were combined as they are on the same island;
(3) Viareiis in region NOROYGGJAR ANNARS was assigned to region
KLAKSVKARKI as it is on the same island. (4) Added one island,
i.e., the island of Kirkjubur, from World Vector Shoreline at:
http://rimmer.ngdc.noaa.gov/coast/All populations are obtained by
generating sums of towns/villages to either muncipalities or
islands.2001 population data were extrapolated to target years of
