Bangladesh administrative division code (2017-) edit
Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Generic
| Description | code used for an area for census calculations in Bangladesh, based on a scheme introduced in 2017 |
|---|---|
| Data type | External identifier |
| Domain | divisions, districts, subdistricts, union councils, municipalities, wards, mouzas, mahallas, and villages in Bangladesh |
| Allowed values | \d\d( \d\d( \d\d(( \d\d)?( \d\d\d( \d\d\d( \d\d\d)?)?)?)?)?)? |
| Example 1 | Bagdha Union (Q4841524) → 10 06 02 142 (but see Bangladesh administrative division code (pre-2017) (P4530) "10 06 02 13") |
| Example 2 | Bagdha (Q21012776) → 10 06 02 142 072 (but see "10 06 02 13 049") |
| Example 3 | Khajuria village in Bagdha mouza → 10 06 02 142 072 110 (but see "10 06 02 13 049 03") |
| Example 4 | Bakerganj (Q19980021) → 10 06 07 16 (no code specifically for this existed at the 2011 census[1]) |
| Example 5 | Ward No. 1 of Bakerganj municipality → 10 06 07 16 001 (but see "10 06 07 01") |
| Example 6 | the portion of Runsi in Ward No. 1 → 10 06 07 16 001 172 (no code specifically for this existed at the 2011 census[2]) |
| Example 7 | Uttar Runsi mahalla (part of Runsi) in Ward No. 1 → 10 06 07 16 001 172 211 (but see "10 06 07 01 800") |
| Example 8 | Barishal City Corporation (Q20612809) → 10 06 51 50 (no code specifically for this existed at the 2011 census[3]) |
| Source | geo-code lists dated to June 2017 |
| Planned use | add these to administrative territorial entities in Bangladesh |
| Number of IDs in source | as many as are listed in the 64 PDFs in the source link above |
| Expected completeness | eventually complete (Q21873974) |
| See also | Bangladesh administrative division code (pre-2017) (P4530), Indian census area code (1991) (P6503), Indian census area code (2001) (P3213), Indian census area code (2011) (P5578) |
Motivation edit
Between June 2016 and June 2017 a new geo-code scheme was introduced in Bangladesh which expanded the lengths of the portions of the code representing the union and the village to three digits each. This scheme thus results in incompatible code changes at administrative division levels below the upazila. As part of this proposal I'd like to rename P4530 "Bangladesh administrative division code (pre-2017)". Note the separate properties for Indian census area codes due to similar incompatibilities across format changes. Mahir256 (talk) 01:41, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
- ↑ Although the June 2016 code lists add the two-digit municipality identifier (not present in 2011 census reports) but do not expand the union/ward codes (which the June 2017 lists do), the continued concordance of the union/ward numbers with the 2011 census codes suggests to me that an intermediate property is not necessary, as it seems that the municipality identifier in the June 2016 lists can be omitted without introducing ambiguity.
- ↑ Different parts of the same area tended to share the same mahalla code but different ward codes: Bharpasha, for example, has P4530 "10 06 07 04 147" for the part of that area in Ward No. 4, "10 06 07 05 147" for Ward No. 5, "10 06 07 06 147" for Ward No. 6, and so on.
- ↑ The June 2017 lists have separate columns for a "city code" (before the thana/upazila code) and a "municipality code" (after the thana/upazila code), but they do not seem to overlap at all, especially since the June 2016 lists combine the two into the latter column, so that same combination may be possible here.
