About this dataset

Saint Lucia administrative level 0-2 boundaries (COD-AB) dataset. The date that these administrative boundaries were established is unknown. This COD-AB was most recently reviewed for accuracy and necessary changes in November 2024. The COD-AB does not require any update. Sourced from Department of Physical Planning Vetting by Information Technology Outreach Services (ITOS) with funding from USAID. This COD-AB is suitable for database or GIS linkage to the Saint Lucia COD-PS. As this is an island country, no edge-matched (COD-EM) version of this COD-AB is required. Please see the COD Portal. Administrative level 1 contains 10 feature(s). The normal administrative level 1 feature type is ""currently not known"". Administrative level 2 contains 547 feature(s). The normal administrative level 2 feature type is ""currently not known"". Recommended cartographic projection: North America Albers Equal Area Conic This metadata was last updated on January 13, 2025.

Documentation

downloaded from GADM The source dataset contains 547 administrative level 2 features with numeric ‘settlement’ codes. These eight- or nine-digit codes begin with one or two digits that correspond to the quarters (administrative level 1 features) and then seven digits with no discernible significance. Castries features have ‘1’, ‘2’, or ‘3’ prefixes that form non-geographically contiguous groups. As the names and significance of these groups are unknown, the Castries features were given a common and nationally distinct ‘13’ prefix in the OCHA P-code system. To preserve the ‘1’, ‘2’, and ‘3’ designations, to provide a distinct formulation for all of Castries features, and to maintain the source settlement codes the OHCA P-code system comprises the national code (‘LC’), the new prefixes (‘4’ to ‘13’) and the original settlement codes (padded to nine digits). The source dataset had two administrative level 2 features, ‘Petit Piton’ and ‘Ti Delcer’ in Soufriere quarter with the same ‘settlement code’ (60720000). These have been given the distinct P-codes LC06060720001 and LC06060720002 respectively. Some other sources (such as www.citypopulation.de) distinguish the ‘Central Forest Reserve’ (LC11110450000) as a distinct quarter but this is not supported by its settlement code. The source dataset has hundreds of topological overlap and gap errors and appear to have had each boundary digitized at least twice. These errors were fixed arbitrarily.
