DATA COLLECTION • • • 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Georeferencing of urban and rural maps at scales of 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 respectfully. Printing of maps with UTM co-ordinates for use in the field. Collection of GPS (Garmin 12) co-ordinates of the following Localities Administrative boundaries Educational institutions Health facilities Other social facilities eg. Churches,mosques etc. DATA CAPTURE • Fair drawing and demarcation of enumeration areas and administrative boundaries using GPS co-ordinates and natural features. • Data entry of GPS co-ordinates using excel • Conversion of GPS co-ordinates into dbase iv for processing in Arcview • Scanning of map sheets using AO scanner. • On-screen digitization of administrative boundaries down to EA level. • Editing and cleaning of EA shapefile using ArcEditor. • Linking of census database to EA shapefile for analytical planning with respect to health,education,agriculture etc. ATTRIBUTE DATA OF AN EA CHIEFDOM SECTION EA NO LOCALITY UTM EASTINGS UTM NORTHINGS DEA BAIWALLA 01010101 TAMBEYAMA 1 316971 886981 TAMBEYAMA 2 316529 887357 JORU 317538 883776 NYANDEHUN 318742 884528 POINT DATA OF ENUMERATION AREAS DIGITIZED EA DATA BASE (9,671 EA’S) CENSUS DATA LINKED TO EA SHAPE FILE EA NO.
