Pakistan Union Councils

We would like to have all the Locations hierarchy for Pakistan populated in the Sahana database (although it would also be available for OpenStreetMap & Ushahidi). This will allow easy un-duplicated data-entry for field users & also allow us to proper Reporting.

Instructions

1. Open the spreadsheet for:

• ​Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province (also used by OSM)
• ​Punjab Province
• ​Other Provinces

1. Choose a District or Tehsil (a sub region within a district) and search for the Union Councils within the Tehsil.
2. Enter each Union Council in a new row in the spreadsheet, which includes correct Tehsil (or District if that's all that is available)
3. Add the lat and lon, if available, and the Source (geonames_id &/or Wikipedia URL)
4. Putting any villages which you know are in a specific Union Council would be even better.

• We have many villages in Punjab which just need Lat/Lons, looking those up in Geonames (& cross-checking the hierarchy using spatial checks would be ideal)

Data Sources

• Wikipedia (there are many wiki pages currently not linked well - improving that too could help everyone!):
  • ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_councils_of_Pakistan
  • ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Districts_of_Pakistan
  • e.g. ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okara_District#Administration
• Lat/Lons for villages from ​Falling Rain or ​Geonames
  • If automating the Geonames, it would be a great longer-term investment to add support to the ​core GeoCoder API with an option to work offline (​download routine) or online.
• Yahoo WoE
  • Processed (doesn't appear too useful)
  • Raw
• Pakistan Government
  • Balochistan: ​http://www.bemis.edu.pk/LIST%20of%20School.xls
  • ​http://www.nrb.gov.pk/lg_election/lge_03.asp (lists totals, so you can see how much progress we're making)
