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 (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)
