ABS Boundaries 2011

## **Abstract** \n\nThis dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.\n\n\n\nThis product, Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Volume 1 - Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical Areas (cat no. 1270.0.55.001), is the first in a series of Volumes that will detail the various structures and regions of the ASGS. Its purpose is to outline the conceptual basis of the regions of the Main Structure and the Greater Capital City Statistical Areas and their relationship to each other.\n\n\n\nVolume 2 - Indigenous Structure (cat no. 1270.0.55.002), is the second in a series of Volumes that detail the various structures and regions of the ASGS. Its purpose is to outline the conceptual basis for the design of the Indigenous Structure. This product contains several elements including the manual, region names and codes and the digital boundaries.\n\n\n\nThe Non-ABS Structures bring together those regions which are not defined by the ABS, but which are important to users of ABS statistics. ABS is committed to providing a range of statistics for these areas. They generally represent administrative regions and are approximated by Mesh Blocks (MBs), Statistical Areas Level 1 (SA1) or Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2). As the Non-ABS Structures represent regions that are subject to ongoing change, the ABS will release a revised publication for ASGS Non-ABS Structures in July each year. The individual structures will only be updated where significant change has occurred in the past year.\n\n\n\nFull metadata is available at the feature class level by selecting the 'Description' tab in ArcCatalog.\n\n\n\nThis dataset contains three Geodatabases: \n\n1. ABS Boundaries 2011 \n\nFeature Classes:\n\na) Greater Capital City Statistical Area polygons for Australia - GCCSA_2011_AUST\n\nb) Mesh Block polygons split into State feature classes - MB_2011_\\[STATE\\]\n\nc) Statistical Area polygons, Split into Levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 feature classes - SA\\[LEVEL\\]_2011\n\nd) State Borders for Australia polygons - STE_2011_AUST\n\n\n\n2. Indigenous Structures 2011\n\nFeature Classes:\n\na) Indigenous Areas - Polygons\n\nb) Indigenous Locations - Polygons\n\nc) Indigenous Regions - Polygons\n\n\n\n3. Non ABS Boundaries 2011\n\nFeature Classes\n\na) Australian Drainage Divisions\n\nb) Commonwealth Electoral Divisions\n\nc) Local Government Areas\n\nd) Postal Areas\n\ne) State Electoral Boundaries\n\nf) State Suburb Code\n\ng) Tourism Regions\n\n## **Dataset History** \n\nThe Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) is a hierarchical classification system of geographical regions and consists of a number of interrelated structures. The ASGS brings all the regions for which the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) publishes statistics within the one framework and will be used by the ABS for the collection and dissemination of geographically classified statistics from the 1 July 2011. It provides a common framework of statistical geography and enables the production of statistics which are comparable and can be spatially integrated.\n\n## **Dataset Citation** \n\nAustralian Bureau of Statistics (2011) ABS Boundaries 2011.

**摘要**

本数据集及其元数据声明由第三方提供给生物区域评估计划（Bioregional Assessment Programme），并按原始提供的形式在此呈现。

本产品为《澳大利亚统计地理标准（Australian Statistical Geography Standard, ASGS）第一卷——主要结构与大首府城市统计区域》（分类编号：1270.0.55.001），是系列卷册中的首部，旨在详述ASGS的各类结构与区域。其用途为阐释主要结构区域及大首府城市统计区域的概念基础，以及各区域间的相互关系。

《澳大利亚统计地理标准第二卷——原住民结构》（分类编号：1270.0.55.002）为系列卷册的第二部，用于说明原住民结构设计的概念依据。本产品包含手册、区域名称与编码以及数字边界等多项内容。

非ABS结构汇集了并非由澳大利亚统计局（Australian Bureau of Statistics, ABS）定义，但对ABS统计数据使用者而言至关重要的区域。ABS承诺为这些区域提供各类统计数据。这类区域通常代表行政区域，并由网格块（Mesh Blocks, MBs）、统计区域1级（Statistical Areas Level 1, SA1）或统计区域2级（Statistical Areas Level 2, SA2）进行近似表示。由于非ABS结构所代表的区域会持续变化，ABS将于每年7月发布ASGS非ABS结构的修订版出版物。仅当过去一年发生重大变更时，才会更新单个结构。

完整元数据可在要素类级别通过ArcCatalog中的「描述」选项卡获取。

**数据集历史**

澳大利亚统计地理标准（ASGS）是一套层级化的地理区域分类系统，包含多个相互关联的结构。ASGS将澳大利亚统计局（ABS）发布统计数据的所有区域整合至统一框架内，并自2011年7月1日起由ABS用于地理分类统计数据的收集与发布。它提供了统一的统计地理框架，能够生成可比较且可进行空间整合的统计数据。
