Re: [datameet] India Locations Question

2015-09-13 Thread rajesh

I am trying to work on gathering data on water sources (rural) and sewage 
discharge (urban) and struggling with both the data and structure.

The use case (based on Shafeeq's suggestion) is:
RURAL: choose a state first, then the district, then sub-district, then 
village. In Gujarat, we add a textbox for faliya (not in db)
URBAN: choose a state first, then the district, then sub-district, then 
town, then ward.

My choices are to:

1. keep one table for both towns and villages and mark towns as 'urban'. 
Then when they select the town (internally marked as urban) present an 
additional dropdown for ward.

2. keep separate tables for towns and villages and present urban/rural 
checkbox at the sub-district level and then choose which data to put in the 
dropdown based on whether user checks urban.

I prefer 1, but am struggling with names and data. Bangalore has both rural 
and urban and villages are transitioning from rural to urban. It seems 
cleaner to ask the user whether they are entering data for urban or rural.

Thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Rajesh

 hello,
 I am finding conflicting information when it comes to administrative 
 divisions within India.  It seems different parts of the nation have 
 different boundaries. I have found this wiki: 
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_divisions_of_India That 
 lists them as:
 1)zone (**Not sure if people refer to these)
 2)states and union territories
 3)regions (**Not sure if people refer to these)
 4)divisions
 5)districts
 6)subdistricts
 7)blocks, hobils, villages, etc
 8)potentially neighborhoods

 So my question is this, if you are from India, how do you refer to 
 location? Do you say "I am from this village, this sub-district,this 
 district,and this state/ union territories"?

 or is it more common for people to refer to sub-district, district, and 
 state?

 I would think people would say they are from a specific village, then 
 build up the name with sub-district, district, and state.

 But I am not sure.

 Could anyone help?

 Thanks!

A followup query to the group: I saw in this thread references to village 
boundary shapefiles on Bhuvan website. Did anyone actually manage to 
download those? Nisha had mentioned that ISRO policies prevent full data 
sharing. So what dataset HAVE people been able to download regarding 
village boundaries in particular?

Can we trust vlist.in ? To be the latest? Some have new codes like 80.

Dilip,
I am looking for more of a official government or national/ state agency

see if they are in the proper subdistrict, and do a whole bunch of other

Hi Justin,
Their email addresses are as follows :
Dr.  Bera

Dr.  Sharma
jrsha...@hotmail.com

Given the agreement that they have signed with the Survey of India, I don't

Nisha,
Thank you for the information.  Do you have their e-mail addresses by 
chance?  I live in the United States and cannot travel any time soon, so I 
cannot visit their office.  What is the ISRO?  Does anyone here have a good 
relationship with them and could ask for village latitudes and longitudes?

Thanks!

The people to contact are

Dr. Sharma
Dr. Bera

They are on the Bhuvan and WRIS teams.  They are really very nice, but
between ISRO and Survey of India's map policies there isn't much they can
do regarding making more shapefiles available.  From my previous
conversations with WRIS they have said they could make non sensitive ISRO
data available, lat/long village points could be one of those datasets, but
we'll have to ask.  It might be worth reengaging them and making a few
requests.

They have an office in Jodhpur, Hyderabad, and New Delhi, might be worth a
meeting between them and some people on the group.

They attended an open data camp a few years ago.  I have their contact if
anyone is interested in getting a few people together and having a meeting.

Dilip, Nisha, and Rajesh,
Thanks for the update.  I signed up for the WRIS website a few weeks ago 
and have downloaded some data.  It has a extreme limit set on the amount 
you can download per day.  I have contacted their agency, but they have not 
responded (in well over two weeks).  Rajesh, you said you downloaded data 
for Gujarat.  Do you have village polygon/ point shapefile data?

Thank you all for your help.

Any other additional ideas where to find latitude/ longitude information 
for villages?

I just found state, district, and taluk shapefiles yesterday from the 
Indian Government if anyone is interested.

Thanks!
Justin

 Standard classification of India is based on census which is:

 For Rural Area: Village/Sub District (also called Tehsil, Talluka and

 For Urban Areas: Ward/Town/Sub District (also called Tehsil, Talluka

Thanks.

I downloaded Gujarat data and got 18,513 villages.
Any ideas of translating district codes to names and sub-district (taluk) 
to names?

Has anyone seen this: http://www.citypopulation.de/php/india-gujarat.php ?
It has boundaries for all districts and GPS for all cities/towns. Some 
villages also can be found (appear as towns, i guess).

Anyway of scraping LatLon from here?

hello, 

Thanks Nisha for the wris link 

I was pleasantly surprised to in their registration that they recognise a 
"Freelancer" 

About the MDDS I feel though the districts keep changing the Code for 
Village / Town should not change. 
If it changes then the system is useless.

Water Resource Information System has village shapefiles

You can do lat long manually i don't know if that helps.

Also districts change all the time.. the census list won't be up to date.

Hello, 

I think Lat Lon For every village is difficult 
However this is where you can get all codes

https://egovstandards.gov.in/village_details

This is where higher divisions are listed 

https://egovstandards.gov.in/code-dirctory-land-region-codification

They are as per a standard named MDDS

Shafeeq,
Thank you for the information and help.  I am beginning to find government 
sources of villages with gps coordinates (latitude and longitude), but the 
amounts aren't on a national level (there should be roughly 600,000 
villages total in India as per the 2011 census and a few other official 
data sources).  Do you know where I can find a gis dataset or a government 
website that has a list of all the villages, village codes, and their 
latitude/ longitude?

Thanks,
Justin

 So my question is this, if you are from India, how do you refer to 
 location? Do you say "I am from this village, this sub-district,this 
 district,and this state/ union territories"?

 or is it more common for people to refer to sub-district, district, and 
 state?

 I would think people would say they are from a specific village, then 
 build up the name with sub-district, district, and state.

 But I am not sure.

 Could anyone help?

 Thanks!

Dear Justin Meyers

Standard classification of India is based on census which is:

For Rural Area: Village/Sub District (also called Tehsil, Talluka and 
Mandal etc)/District/State/India
For Urban Areas: Ward/Town/Sub District (also called Tehsil, Talluka and
