Notes
Administrative Population Source Data:
2001 Census marzes (administrative 1 level) were provided by the National Statistical Service of Armenia and downloaded at: http://docs.armstat.am/census/engcontent.php . 1989 rayon (administrative 2 level) population data were obtained via the Australian Centre of the Asian Spatial Information and Analysis Network (ACASIAN), http://www.asian.gu.edu.au/ .
Administrative Boundary Source Data:
Australian Centre of the Asian Spatial Information and Analysis Network (ACASIAN), http://www.asian.gu.edu.au/ .
Settlement Point Population Source Data:
Armenia Census 2001, National Statistical Service of the Republic of Armenia (NSS of RA); World Gazetteer, www.gazetteer.de
Settlement Point Coordinate Source Data:
ASCities, Getty, NIMA, World Gazetteer
Urban Criteria for Settlements (UN):
Cities and urban-type localities, officially designated as such, usually according to the criteria of number of inhabitants and predominance of agricultural or non-agricultural workers and their families.
Administrative Population Edits and Notes:
The National Statistics of the Republic of Armenia reported that because the 1989 census took place under difficult conditions, the census data resulted in an undercount. The Rayon population was aggregated to the Marzes level.
Administrative Spatial Edits and Notes:
The rayon (administrative 2 level) boundaries were dissolved to the marzes (administrative 1 level) level.
