Notes |
- Administrative Population Source Data:
- 1998 Population Census of Cambodia provided by the Cambodia Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction; Department of Geography.
Population data for 1994 provided by the Cambodia National Institute of Statistics and have been obtained in digital form from the UNSTAT/POPMAP Project
- Administrative Boundary Source Data:
- Cambodia Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, Department of Geography.
- Settlement Point Population Source Data:
- City Population, www.citypopulation.de
- Settlement Point Coordinate Source Data:
- Columbia Gazetteer, Getty, NIMA, World Gazetteer
- Urban Criteria for Settlements (UN):
- Municipalities of Phnom Penh, Bokor and Kep and 13 additional urban centres.
- Administrative Population Edits and Notes:
- 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 Bavel (1994).
* Rotonak Mondol, Samlout, Khad Pailin, and Sala Kroa (1998) were aggregated to match Rattanak Mondul (1994).
* Phnum Kravanh and Veal Veaeng (1998) were aggregated to match Kravanh (1994).
* Kampong Trach, Damnak Chang''aeur, Kaeb, and Kampot (1998) were aggregated to match an aggregation of Kampong Trach and Kampot DC (1994).
* Kiri Sakor, Kaoh Kong, and Mittakpheap (1998) were aggregated to match an aggregation of Kiri Sakor, Koh Kong DC, and Mittapheap (1994).
* Pouk, and Siem Reap (1998) were aggregated to match an aggregation of Pouk and Siem Reap PT (1994).
Population data were extrapolated to target years using a district (administrative level 2) population growth rate, between 1994?1998, that was applied to the 1998 commune (administrative level 3) data. The 1994 population data were only available at administrative level 1 for Stung Treng, Takeo, and Mondul Kiri. For the commune units (level 3) belonging to these areas, a distric (level 1) population growth rate was applied for the extrapolation. A 5% growth rate cap was applied to select units.
- Administrative Spatial Edits and Notes:
- Boundary 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.
