Notes |
- Administrative Population Source Data:
- 1998 Population Census: Premiers resultats definitifs du RGPH-98 / Institut national de la statistique. Recensement general de la population et de l''habitat 1998. Abidjan--Republique de Cote 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.
- Administrative Boundary Source Data:
- UNEP/GRID-WRI-NCGIA Africa Population Database, http://grid2.cr.usgs.gov .
- Settlement Point Population Source Data:
- AFCities, Data provided by Uwe Deichman at the World Bank
- Settlement Point Coordinate Source Data:
- AFCities, NIMA
- Urban Criteria for Settlements (UN):
- Urban agglomerations containing more than 10,000 inhabitants; agglomerations with populations ranging from 4,000 to 10,000 persons with more than 50 per cent of the households en-gaged in non-agricultural activities; and the administrative centres of Grand Lahoun and Dabakala. Excludes the milieu urbain of Bouna, which has a population of 11,000.
- Administrative Population Edits and Notes:
- The 1998 census data was obtained for administrative level 2. This data is coarser than the 1988 census data which was obtained for administrative level 3. Thus, an administrative level 2 population growth rate was calculated for the period 1990?1998 and applied to the 1990 administrative level 3 units to extrapolate the population of these areas to 1995 and 2000.
- Administrative Spatial Edits and Notes:
- 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).
