Re: [datameet] Boundary data in regional languages

[Justin]

You are only downloading tables from that link you shared right? Not actual 
vector geospatial data? Thanks!

[datameet] Global Urban Area Project

[Justin]

Datameet! It has been a while! Hope everyone is doing well with their 
projects and life! I am about to begin a project mapping urban areas 
globally, back applying names, and hopefully populations. I created a pilot 
proof of concept dataset for Guinea (*randomly picked a country in Africa). 
I could start to process India as well, but it is a massive process and 
want general feedback before I do so. please give me ideas, feedback, and 
critique anything you think I can do better, or things I should add. I need 
to explain my workflow for people to understand how this will be created, 
but for the most part right now it is select by location, and score a cell 
if it intersects urban data from a handful of sources. Names and 
populations will come later, and be difficult... but for now, it is a POC.

Thanks!
Justin

[datameet] Pincode Mapping List/ Data/ Project

[Justin]

I've reviewed the majority of the resources here - Devdatta seems to have a 
lot of data (*thank you!) and a few others posted some links/ resources 
(*thanks!!). I'm wondering if we can create a quality detailed point 
dataset for pincodes?

I wonder if there is a stable list to make sure we account for them all, 
then if there is a way to link to lat/long or somehow formally request. 

DATA.GOV.IN seems to have a slow start on this, but the quality is not 
there as per the latitude/ longitude values 
(https://data.gov.in/resources/all-india-pincode-directory-contact-details-along-latitude-and-longitude
 
). There is a list of quite a few 
here: 
https://data.gov.in/resources/villagelocality-based-pin-mapping-16th-march-2017

Has there been a stable list created thus far, or something being pushed 
out by http://www.indiapost.gov.in/Pincode.aspx ?

Cheers,
Justin

[datameet] Re: 2018 India Village GIS Data Project

[Justin]

Dilip,
Thanks for sending this; I'm finalizing the detailed boundaries today/ 
tomorrow. Once finished, I will finalize the names fields. The LGD data 
doesn't have all town/ village names, But I believe they are in the wards 
tables, so some attributes can come from there. Also, I believe the 2011 
census actually creates bad names for census towns. IE Canacona (Village) 
and Canacona (Town). I believe Canacona (Town) is actually Chaudi 
and Nagorcem - Palolem. So I believe the India census names locations based 
on an important city, or its parent subdivision for census towns just for 
reference or fromal govt services. But local people would consider the 
location a different name. They would understand Canacona, but not think of 
the main urban area as that, but I could be wrong (*probably am!?). But 
just want to make sure I am not creating a census names dataset, this is 
the actual villages (*not settlements either).

Thanks for all of your help!  Talk soon,
Justin

[datameet] Re: 2018 India Village GIS Data Project

[Justin]

okay; started to upload the data:
https://github.com/justinelliotmeyers/INDIA_2018_SHAPEFILE_BOUNDARIES

please give any feedback, poit out errors, what I did wrong, best way to 
move forward, etc. This is v1, so I expect issues to exist, and missing 
locations, bad spellings, code issues, etc.

I tried to clean it up as much as possible - in order to get this pushed 
out before the weekend I dissolved to a grid to keep geometry size down. We 
can review geometry after initial review of attributes.

I just threw everything in a repo; we can upload to a more formal project 
after this first stae, just wanted to start.

Thanks!

[datameet] 2018 India Village GIS Data Project

[Justin]

I plan on trying to update individual states to 2018 standards/ amounts/ 
etc. I know this is a crazy idea, but I am going to start.

I have started with Goa, it has been a challenge. I thought I was going to 
finish over two weeks ago, but just haven't had time and have been doing 
more tracing of villages that what I thought I was going to have to do.

I am trying to align amounts with http://lgdirectory.gov.in/
 and http://nlrmp.nic.in/faces/masterReport/masterReport.xhtml

Sometimes these may disagree and may be missing towns, but I am trying to 
make sure I account for those somehow. Once I finish, I will upload hoping 
for feedback as per what I did wrong, am missing, or anything else.

I think a state-by-state way is the only way to successfully do this. 
Trying to do all 6-8 lakh would be a nightmare, so breaking it down to 
several hundred - a few thousand would be easiest and manageable.

Please let me know if you would like to help, start mapping a state, or 
give any feedback, ideas, data, solutions, etc.

Thank you all so much!

Justin

Does anyone have any other states they want to start looking at? Also, the

have any other OSM maps they can share?

think im close to cleaning up majority of villages > subdistricts. I 
think Naroa split to 05611 and 05612 (05611 is Tiswadi and 05612 is 
Bicholim). still a few weird things I have to troubleshoot and account for. 
I just want to see how much of a process this will be, but for as much time 
as I put into just Goa, I know larger states will take quite some time...

I actually went to the presentation for the facebook addresses by Ilke 
Demir. I spoke to her afterwards about community buy-in and how people 
would actually use it. These are real challenges that I don't know how they 
will actually deal with. She was excited about the project, but really 
didn't know how to answer those questions.

[datameet] Re: India GIS Data Update/ Questions

[Justin]

Dilip,
That has some nice data in it; but it isn't a 1-1 relationship and is 
missing a lot of information. I would love to have a dataset that has both 
2001/2011 information in it, but I honestly don't know if that would ever 
be possible. The way the census bureau and the soi have village boundaries 
and codes, they just do not work. 

I am really hoping to create a full village dataset, but need help. I put a 
bunch of data online for everyone to tinker with and see if it is correct, 
or what is wrong with it. 

I am hoping that the datameet people can team up with some of the mapbox 
people and we can start to create a stable dataset - just not sure the best 
way to implement such a project. We could even build pincodes in it and 
have a working village, pincode, admin 1,2,3, etc dataset.

I know it is a crazy thought to build such a dataset, but I want to help 
and think it can be done. Where do we start!?

[datameet] India GIS Data Update/ Questions

[Justin]

Hello Datameet! Haven't spoken to you all in a while. Several months ago I 
shared a complete 2011 villages dataset. Has anyone used it, added any 
metadata/ updates?

Has any open gis data come to light in India? Telanagana's new districts? 
Any new admin 1,2,3,4 boundaries?

Any new neighborhood gis data?

Anyone have a trustworthy 2001>2011 census code table?

Thanks, talk soon!

[datameet] Census codes 2001 and 2011

[Justin]

The govt matched the codes, but it is incorrect. If you did it spatially, you 
would run into more issues because any 2001 census GIS data would be more for 
illustration purposes vs analysis.

Are you doing it based off of tables or GIS?

[datameet] India Village Shapefile Data - starting to upload the data so anyone may access

[Justin]

I am starting to upload all my India village data.

If terms are restrictive, it will not happen.  Bhuvan's Terms are very 
restrictive (see link on lower right of 
page: http://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/bhuvan_links.php# ). Bhuvan data is low 
quality, and outdated.

If there are no terms I put source. Government officials in India have not 
responded to any e-mails I have sent. You will need to reach out to them as 
per terms of use, metadata, copyright, etc.

Cheers,
Justin

Brij,
A new dataset I have has a little over 5,300 featues for subdistrict.  I do 
not know the source of the data (*believe is SOI).  I have written them 
yesterdays and asked about the metadata/ copyright on the data.  If I do 
not hear back from them I may just post and then the end user is 
responsible for the way they use it.

thanks

otherwise you can download the data from above

Can anyone call the soi in their state and ask them?  or could we get a

we would get a more current dataset, will all levels and attributes.

Re: [datameet] India Village Shapefile Data

[Justin Meyers]

SR,
Thanks - have the data downloaded from both.  can the vector data be 
shared?  the lgdir data is constantly changing...

Devdatta, you know whats going on behind the scenes with the sites - you 
have to have the data too!??  

thejeshgn.com 
<https://archive.org/search.php?query=publisher%3A%22thejeshgn.com%22> - he 
has the data too??  https://archive.org/details/IndiaVillageBoundaries

not sure why people from India aren't posting the data when they have it - 
Is the govt restricting free data from being uploaded?  Can it be posted ? 
 https://archive.org/details/IndiaVillageBoundaries started, but stopped? 
 does everyone have all that data (for the entire nation) already?  The 
Mapbox people must have it!?  Or am I the only one in the world with 
several different full national level datasets for villages in India?  This 
cannot be true - 

Can it be hosted on GitHub?

Re: [datameet] Re: Improving India road data on OpenStreetMap

Sarath,
I believe the data you posted is actually historical OSM data! When osm 
first came out, several websites hosted it and split it up based on 
country.  I haven't looked at this data in a few years, but believe it is 
very very old OSM data.

Cheers,
Justin

 Devdatta,
 This is raw data that I converted from kml to shp.  So it took me about 
 30 minutes to make sure the attributes came through properly.  Cannot say 
 my source until I download the rest of the content from the site, before 
 they take it down.  It seems like they put data on the internet, then try 
 to take it down (or hide it...).  Not really sure why?  I posted the Orissa 
 sample for you some time ago, but you never responded?  I found official 
 data for Orissa as well, so converting the census pdfs to gis is a big 
 waste of time (took me a few days...).

 As per the quality of this dataset, it is the best I have seen on a 
 national level.  But if you look state by state, or really want quality 
 data, then this isn't what you want.  I would call this dataset a rough 
 start.

 I posted a update about Bihar (
 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/datameet/QuP4Tt4n0_g) and that 
 data is amazing, this data doesn't hold a candle to it.  Too bad the 
 government doesn't want help from the experts ;)

 Justin, 

 Just one comment: 

 Locations is a loose concept, and mapped in wikimapia it is even more 
 vague. As elsewhere, in India, words like location, settlement or even 
 village mean different things to different people. Census follows a 
 rigorous definition, using 'revenue villages' as the main unit, with 
 'forest villages' in a few cases. In wikimapia, one may see tags for 
 hamlets that are subsets of revenue villages (but have a different 
 name), but their data will be part of the census data of the revenue 
 village.

  The last little problem with the census data is that it is missing 
  hundreds, if not thousands of locations.  In looking at some village 
  level data, there are clearly two or more different villages/ 
  settlements in some of their village polygons.  although OSM and 
  wikimapia are crowd projects, I believe some of the data there is 
  correct.

 pretty sure it has a bunch of errors.  People who work in the agencies

[datameet] Re: village boundary layer for Karnataka

[Justin Meyers]

Sharad,
Thanks for uploading this.  I have looked at this and compared to a few 
other datasets.  I have a question about a location in your dataset and how 
it lines up with census data/ codes.  

LOC_CODE: 15103000 NAME:Krishnarajasagara Nac

If you go to the Census Digital Library 
(http://www.censusindia.gov.in/DigitalLibrary/Tables.aspx) and look at the 
2001 table for the Mandya District, the first records in the table read:

 STATE DISTRICT SUB-DISTT TOWN_VILL WARD EB LEVEL NAME TRU  29 22  
 0 0 DISTRICT Mandya Total  29 22   0 0 DISTRICT Mandya 
Rural  29 22   0 0 DISTRICT Mandya Urban  29 22  42205000 0 
0 TOWN Krishnarajasagara (NAC) Urban  29 22  42205000 1 0 WARD 
Krishnarajasagara 
(NAC) - Ward No.1 Urban 
I have seen SUB-DISTT codes of  before for states, districts, and very 
large cities (i.e. Hyderabad) - but this is something new!?  I believe the 
census table is wrong.  But something that is kinda throwing me off as well 
is your data has two of these, both with identical records, and the same 
Taluk, but you can see i think it should be split (but not certain)?

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-KIM29wpLGWs/VBBjJABRYAI/ALY/46VKKJX5oFE/s1600/mandya_error.jpg

a last thing to throw in the mix is that in a different census gis dataset, 
the north part has :2922000302365700 Chikkayarahalli and the south part 
has 2922000402378200 Hongahalli - these are both in the census table as 
well...


Can anyone make sense of this!??


Thanks!  Justin

 Dear All, 

 I have uploaded a village boundary layer for Karnataka (shapefile

 limitations. Link is:

 Hope this is useful. Would be nice if folks who use it post information 
 on how it was used. 

 I should mention that we paid for the layer but would like to make it 
 freely available. Ideally, if it were ported to Google maps, that would 
 help a lot of people. But that would also need better geo-rectification.

Re: [datameet] Re: Delhi Locations and Questions

[Justin Meyers]

Devdatta, Shafeeq, and Arun,
Thanks for your help.  I figured this would be pretty tricky...  I am 
trying to put together a gis layer of these in polygon format (i have 
around 80% of Delhi done, but cannot find data for New Delhi, or Central 
Delhi).  I attached a pic in my initial post.  I have seen numerous gis 
layers for wards, districts, villages, etc floating around on the web, but 
they seem incorrect (so I am trying to build it myself).  Do you know where 
i could locate a official map of villages for central and new delhi?  or 
any gis data, or perhaps a list of villages with their respected latitude/ 
longitude?

Thanks!
Justin

 Hello all,
 lately i have seen posts about wards for larger cities.  So back to my 
 original question; in larger cities in India (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, 
 Bangalore, etc) when people refer to locations within the city, are they 
 talking about village, ward, slum, etc?


 There is usually two parts to city place names:

 1) Suburb/Area: This is the larger area and is well known to any resident 
 of the city. Such areas are also served by a major post office, police 
 station and may have its unique pincode. eg. Defence Colony, Paschim VIhar, 
 Gurgaon City Centre.
 This name usually follows the name of the post office serving it.

 2) Neighborhood: This is the more  specific locality within the suburb 
 and may be known to only the local residents. Neighborhoods may have their 
 own internal addressing scheme defined by the local resident welfare 
 association  eg. Ram Colony, Kalu Sarai, B4 Vasant Kunj..
 Neighbourhoods are very loosely defined and are officially defined only 
 in the electoral rolls, where voter lists are prepared and voting booths 
 have to be allocated.


 All this is based on personal observations, someone else can probably 
 expose this dark corner better.

  

  I am beyond confused!?!  Does anyone on this forum live in any of these 
 larger cities?  How do you refer to where you live or where you are from?


 The real fun starts outside the city. My current postal address is my 
 name followed by the name of the village :)

 Hi Justin,

 There are many different systems for transliterating Hindi script although 
 the GoI has officially adopted the Hunterian system. I would guess that 
 spellings originating from local offices are more likely to be 
 non-Hunterian, idiosyncratic, phonetic, etc., although not necessarily 
 wrong. However, they are probably more likely to have outright misspellings 
 as well because workers at local offices tend to have less command of 
 English compared to workers at the Centre (and publications from the Centre 
 are probably proofread more closely). 

 I would opt to use spellings from the central government publication 
 primarily because they are the official, standardized version. I would only 
 use the local spellings if I was creating some output specifically for use 
 at the local level.

 HI, 

 I stay in Delhi,

 Actually Delhi has grown over the years and is Growing

 Initially there was only Old Delhi 

 Then the Luyten's Delhi was built by the British

 at that time there were small and large villages far away from these 
 Cities. 

 After independence Delhi grew very fast because of influx including 
 displaced people from Pakistan.
 Then came many developed colonies and institutions like IIT, JNU and many 
 more.

 These acquired the agriculture land belonging to the Villagers. 
 The residential part of the Villages was kept untouched and these are all 
 the villages that 
 you see today and most of the land is owned by original owners who mainly 
 live off renting houses. 

 The outer Delhi still has many villages with the Agriculture land still 
 intact. 

 That is the story in short.

 For more specific info you are free to  write to me directly on my email 
 address cadvision@gmail .com
 I will help to the extent that I know or can find out.

 I have yet to travel to Delhi, so I know nothing of the city.  So 
 hopefully some of you could share your knowledge with me.  When talking 
 about locations in Delhi, do people refer to villages?  I found a list of 
 villages for 11 districts and 9 districts.


 11 districts: http://www.delhi.gov.in/wps/wcm/connect/doit_

 9 districts: http://www.delhi.gov.in/wps/wcm/connect/doit_
 revenue/Revenue/Home/Organization+Setup/List+of+
 Villages+as+per+9+Districts


 Do people use these names when discussing locations within Delhi?  Are 
 these villages considered neighborhoods?  Where can I find a good map of 
 village boundaries for Central and New Delhi?  I have written their 
 government offices for the past few weeks, and they do not respond to my 
 e-mails...  


 Also, the names in either of the lists don't really follow the 2001 or 
 the 2011 census data.  It seems as if spelling can go a few different ways 
 in India; i.e. Jaunti vs. Jonti, Qutab Pur vs. Qutub Pur, Jafrabad 
 vs. Jaffrabad.  I think trusting a name from a local government office is 
 slightly more correct than from a national agency (is this a naive way to 
 think?).


 Thanks for any information!

9 
districts: 
http://www.delhi.gov.in/wps/wcm/connect/doit_revenue/Revenue/Home/Organization+Setup/List+of+Villages+as+per+9+Districts


Do people use these names when discussing locations within Delhi?  Are 
these villages considered neighborhoods?  Where can I find a good map of 
village boundaries for Central and New Delhi?  I have written their 
government offices for the past few weeks, and they do not respond to my 
e-mails...  


Also, the names in either of the lists don't really follow the 2001 or the 
2011 census data.  It seems as if spelling can go a few different ways in 
India; i.e. Jaunti vs. Jonti, Qutab Pur vs. Qutub Pur, Jafrabad 
vs. Jaffrabad.  I think trusting a name from a local government office is 
slightly more correct than from a national agency (is this a naive way to 
think?).


Thanks for any information!

Re: [datameet] Census 2001 Tahsils Shapefile (5,461 records)

[Justin Meyers]

 Sharad,

  

 I have worked with GADM over the years and know the pros and cons (it is 
 one of the few global datasources that is somewhat consistent and free, 
 however, there is NO documentation, NO support, NO updates, and is heavily 
 generalized, etc).  So I call it junk because there is better data out 
 there.  Could you share your Karnataka shapefiles?


Thanks!

[datameet] Census 2001 Tahsils Shapefile (5,461 records)

[Justin Meyers]

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-JCJJdFxwIJ4/U-GSaLtnplI/AJw/3nhGoIFzCNE/s1600/indiatahsil2001.jpg

https://app.box.com/s/vljeiolbqhx2hwyz8qxs

Processed from a kml; did not edit any geometry or attributes.  Data is 
pretty generalized, but it is a good start for a national dataset.  I keep 
finding better data as I continue to look (already posted two previous 
versions of a taluk/ tahsil/ amin 3 boundary).  After concerns to missing 
data, this is the best to date I have found.

Cheers!
Justin

Re: [datameet] Census 2001 Tahsils Shapefile (5,461 records)

[Justin Meyers]

Devdatta,
This is raw data that I converted from kml to shp.  So it took me about 30 
minutes to make sure the attributes came through properly.  Cannot say my 
source until I download the rest of the content from the site, before they 
take it down.  It seems like they put data on the internet, then try to 
take it down (or hide it...).  Not really sure why?  I posted the Orissa 
sample for you some time ago, but you never responded?  I found official 
data for Orissa as well, so converting the census pdfs to gis is a big 
waste of time (took me a few days...).

As per the quality of this dataset, it is the best I have seen on a 
national level.  But if you look state by state, or really want quality 
data, then this isn't what you want.  I would call this dataset a rough 
start.

I posted a update about Bihar 
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/datameet/QuP4Tt4n0_g) and that 
data is amazing, this data doesn't hold a candle to it.  Too bad the 
government doesn't want help from the experts ;)

Cheers,
Justin

[datameet] Updating Taluks GIS

[Justin Meyers]

Working on Bihar.  Trying to use as much official GIS data as possible.  Do 
all state agency's  typically use SOI data, or do they develop their own 
data?  Also, does anyone have any idea why government officials or 
employees do not respond to e-mails!?  You would think they would 
appreciate a working relationship to better their data as well as that of 
the general public, but it seems like they could care less (because the do 
not respond to any e-mails...)?

Re: [datameet] Updated Taluk Shapefile!!

[Justin Meyers]

Devdatta,
Sorry I didn't type that up.  I just finished processing it and was excited 
and posted.  The previous file i posted had 2,693 features.  This file has 
2,739 features.  Initially I thought the data was relevant to 2001, but 
maybe it is 1991 (I have no metadata, the Indian government does not 
respond to my e-mails (I have sent at least a dozen, but they do not 
respond)).  I am not certain of the exact source, it is hosted by the 
Bhuvan (who do not respond to emails either).

As per any processing, I took the data and sorted the attributes (it was a 
long string all attached as one - so i split it and created the fields).

Any other questions?  If you know of a more current dataset please post!!

Re: [datameet] Updated Taluk Shapefile!!

[Justin Meyers]

Devdatta,
Thanks for the quick response. I thought the files originated from the 
Survey of India, but wasn't certain.  I started to create a villages 
dataset, but the tehsils do not really align with what the 2001 census 
villages state their respected tehsil parent is...  So I am assuming all of 
the data from the gevernment is a mix bag (spelling may be off, codes may 
be wrong/ outdated, data may be mixed between years).  What a mess!?!?!  As 
per rectifying and creating maps based off the PDFs, I'm not sure I would 
do that.  The lines they have for boundaries are very, very generalized. 
 Also, I tried (a few years ago) to line them up with actual vector data, 
and there is a huge shift (i was using WGS84 vector data, so maybe I should 
have reprojected).

Maybe it would be best to start top down or bottom up.  So either build a 
dataset from villages up to states or states down to villages.

Thoughts?  We need some official data though (which seems impossible to 
find...).  But anything is possible, right!?!

Cheers,
Justin

 Hi Justin,
 I know the euphoria that one has when one has done something new. It's one 
 of the best things in the world.

 If the original source you mentioned is Bhuvan, then the files came 
 directly from Survey of India. I have used those files before, and as you 
 mentioned there were only some 2000 Odd features in it.

 There are not from any specific era. Some tehsils in the file were created 
 post 2001, while others created in the 90's were not present.

 The only exhaustive source I know, is the Census Administrative Atlas. 
 They have maps in PDF format, not in shapefiles, and I had used it to 
 create the district shapefiles which are shared on the datameet github 
 repos.
 Sometimes I feel I should get started on digitizing those pdfs. It 
 shouldn't take more than 40 hours.

[datameet] India Taluk Shapefile

[Justin Meyers]

Created using QGIS and ArcGIS.  Polygons need to be cleaned up (So I 
attached a point file with more details).  I am not certain of the year of 
this data (most likely 2001, potentially before).  Scale is 1:250,000.

#OPENINDIA

I have tried to reach out to numerous government agencies, but they do not 
respond to e-mails.  They do not want to help (or cannot).  I have 
suggested for data to be open at data.gov.in
