GRID3 Malawi Settlement Extents, Version 01

NOTE: This version of the Malawi settlement extents has been superseded by "GRID3 Malawi Settlement Extents, Version 01.01", now available here: https://doi.org/10.7916/d8-0dn2-bz10 The dataset consists of settlement extents across Malawi, as well as accompanying population estimates for each settlement extent. This data product contains all information contained in the previous GRID3 Malawi Settlement Extents, Version 01 Alpha product, with updates. Updates in this version include: a single settlement extent feature class (Alpha contained the same data in three (3) separate feature class layers: BUAs, SSAs & Hamlets), and new population estimate fields ("Population" and "Pop_UN_adj") for each settlement extent . This work has been undertaken as part of the Geo-Referenced Infrastructure and Demographic Data for Development (GRID3) programme. GRID3 works with countries to generate, validate and use geospatial data on population, settlements, infrastructure, and subnational boundaries. For more information, see https://grid3.org/ Keywords: Settlements, Hamlets, Built-up Areas (BUA), Small Settlement Areas (SSA) The programme is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth, Development Office. It is implemented by Flowminder Foundation, WorldPop at the University of Southampton, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) at Columbia University.

注意：本版马拉维居民点范围数据集已被"GRID3 马拉维居民点范围 版本01.01"替代，该新版本现已可通过以下链接获取：https://doi.org/10.7916/d8-0dn2-bz10。本数据集涵盖马拉维全境的居民点范围，以及各居民点对应的人口估算数据。本数据产品包含了此前GRID3马拉维居民点范围01 Alpha版的全部信息，并进行了更新。本版本的更新包括：整合为单一的居民点范围要素类（此前Alpha版将相同数据分为建成区（Built-up Areas, BUA）、小型居民点区域（Small Settlement Areas, SSA）及村落三个独立要素类图层），以及为每个居民点范围新增"Population"和"Pop_UN_adj"两个人口估算字段。本工作是面向发展的地理参考基础设施与人口统计数据（GRID3）计划的一部分。GRID3与各国合作，生成、验证并使用人口、居民点、基础设施及次国家边界相关的地理空间数据。更多信息可访问https://grid3.org/。关键词：居民点、村落、建成区（BUA）、小型居民点区域（SSA）。本计划由比尔及梅琳达·盖茨基金会和英国外交、联邦与发展办公室资助，由Flowminder基金会、南安普敦大学世界人口项目（WorldPop）、联合国人口基金（United Nations Population Fund, UNFPA）以及哥伦比亚大学国际地球科学信息网络中心（Center for International Earth Science Information Network, CIESIN）联合实施。
