 Thanks Jaisen.

 I have updated the wiki with the added details you mentioned:
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/India:Boundaries

 Please check if anything is missing and update the page as necessary.
 This is probably the most comprehensive documentation for boundary mapping
 for any country. If the scheme can accommodate India, it can probably cover
 any other country too.

 Hi,

 Shall I add my ideas on these boundaries?

 In my vision, The following are the most prominent administrative
 divisions in India:

 First set - Administrative boundaries

 1. Territorial waters (Exclusive Economic Zone) (as per United
 Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea)
 2. Zones (Interstate council)
 3. States and Union Territories (Governer and Chief Minister)
 4. Revenue Districts (District Collector)
 5. Revenue Divisions (Revenue Divisional Officer)
 6. Taluks / Tehsils (Tahsildar)
 7. Revenue Villages (Village officer)
 8. Survey / Re-survey /Un-survey - field measurement plots and sub
 divisions

 Second Set - Legislative boundaries

 1. Lok Sabha (Parliament) Constituency [Lok Sabha - MP]
 2. Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) Constituency [States and
 Union Territories - MLA]

 Third Set - Local Self Government

 1. Rural
 a. District (Zilla) Panchayat (President and Secretary)
 i Divisions (Member)
 b. Development Blocks (Block/Mandal Panchayat) (President and
 Block Development Officer/Secretary)
 i Divisions (Member)
 c. Grama (Village) Panchayat ( Rural Local Authority)
 (President/Sarpanch and Secretary)
 i Wards (Member)

 2. Urban
 a. Municipality / Municipal Corporation / Nagar Panchayat
 (Urban Local Authority) and Metropolitan Region (Mayor and Secretary)
 i. Zones
 ii. Wards (Councillor)

 3. Cantonment area (Officer in Command)
  (Don't know it's divisions :( (Military area Local
 Authority)

 Fourth Set - Courts and Police
 1. Jurisdiction of various courts
 2. Police Districts
 3. Police Circles
 3. Jurisdiction of Police Stations

 Fifth Set - Miscellaneous
 1. Special Economic Zones
 2. Coastal Regulation Zone
 3. Ecologically Sensitive Areas

 I think the above listed are the important sets, regarding the
 administrative divisions of India. Besides these, almost all the government
 departments of various tiers of administration, have their own internal
 administrative boundaries.

Re: [Talk-in] parliamentry, assembly seat boundaries

2013-12-21 Thread vikas yadav

Hi,

my remarks about the proposal (also added in the talk page).

Attributes

There are few properties of each political boundaries:

   1. Elected Person
   2. Election Year
   3. ECI AC Number (ref number)
   4. ECI PC Number (ref number)
   5. ECI Ward Number (ref number)

We need to support at least these in the attributes of political boundaries
to support extensions which can later take data from other source or
database. There are many other properties but these are the minimum.
 Ward boundary

Ward members are also elected. Though they dont seem to be in the political
boundary. Please suggest.


Also, I have to checked other boundaries but even those should support some
attributes that help identify that region using govt. assigned ref number
for extensions.


Thanks.

Re: [Talk-in] parliamentry, assembly seat boundaries

2013-12-21 Thread Jaisen Nedumpala

Hi,

Shall I add my ideas on these boundaries?

In my vision, The following are the most prominent administrative divisions
in India:

First set - Administrative boundaries

1. Territorial waters (Exclusive Economic Zone) (as per United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea)
2. Zones (Interstate council)
3. States and Union Territories (Governer and Chief Minister)
4. Revenue Districts (District Collector)
5. Revenue Divisions (Revenue Divisional Officer)
6. Taluks / Tehsils (Tahsildar)
7. Revenue Villages (Village officer)
8. Survey / Re-survey /Un-survey - field measurement plots and sub
divisions

Second Set - Legislative boundaries

1. Lok Sabha (Parliament) Constituency [Lok Sabha - MP]
2. Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) Constituency [States and Union
Territories - MLA]

Third Set - Local Self Government

1. Rural
a. District (Zilla) Panchayat (President and Secretary)
i Divisions (Member)
b. Development Blocks (Block/Mandal Panchayat) (President and Block
Development Officer/Secretary)
i Divisions (Member)
c. Grama (Village) Panchayat ( Rural Local Authority)
(President/Sarpanch and Secretary)
i Wards (Member)

2. Urban
a. Municipality / Municipal Corporation / Nagar Panchayat (Urban
Local Authority) and Metropolitan Region (Mayor and Secretary)
i. Zones
ii. Wards (Councillor)

3. Cantonment area (Officer in Command)
 (Don't know it's divisions :( (Military area Local Authority)

Fourth Set - Courts and Police
1. Jurisdiction of various courts
2. Police Districts
3. Police Circles
3. Jurisdiction of Police Stations

Fifth Set - Miscellaneous
1. Special Economic Zones
2. Coastal Regulation Zone
3. Ecologically Sensitive Areas

I think the above listed are the important sets, regarding the
administrative divisions of India. Besides these, almost all the government
departments of various tiers of administration, have their own internal
administrative boundaries.

Re: [Talk-in] parliamentry, assembly seat boundaries

2013-12-20 Thread Arun Ganesh

I just went through the final 2008 delimitation order from ECI which is
available here:
http://eci.nic.in/delim/Final_Publications/finalpublication.asp

Parliament constituencies are defined in terms of assembly constituencies.
And assembly constituencies are defined in terms of tehsil/sub-tehsil/local
bodies.

We already have a pretty good district boundary dataset in OSM (although it
looks like its from 2001). The next step is to probably update this as
start adding subdistricts/tehsils which can make it an extremely rich
dataset for a wide variety of uses including deriving a decent constituency
map.

I have made more updates to
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/India:Boundaries

I basically went through a whole range of sources to understand the
administrative and political setup of the country and this has been
documented.

I'm still a little confused with the definition of Blocks and Sub-tehsils
and if they are the same? We probably need an IAS person to go through the
table and check if everything is in order. Its amazing how I could find no
single source of information that explained all this in a simple way.

Re: [Talk-in] parliamentry, assembly seat boundaries

2013-12-20 Thread Vikas Yadav

Thanks Sajjad.
So I guess, I will continue using the PDF files for constituencies to trace
assemblies then?

(OT: The census of 2000 and the delimitation was done in 2008? When will
they incorporate the 2011 census then?)

Dear Vikas,

These boundaries are no longer valid because they have changed in 2008.
Unfortunately, they haven't released the post-delimitation data.

  They are changed once after a census since all are usually use population to 
adjust it properly though other parameters are also used. In conjunction to 
government offices and their bodies, these boundaries are very critical. Then 
there is a lot of meta data about the current MP, MLA or Councillor  depending 
on the area. We can choose how much of it we put in OSM. Also, all these three 
boundaries can overlap each other. There is no hierarchy to these, e.g. 
assembly can belong to two parliamentary constituencies or two municipal wards 
belong to two assemblies. All the infrastructure we have in OSM india, like 
streets, schools, signals, toilets, they all belong to a particular ward, 
assembly or parliamentary boundary depending on the type of POI. When this gets 
defined properly, OSM data can later be used very nicely by citizens to locate 
responsible offices for complaining and monitoring, maintaining the public 
properties.

  Hi,

  (also posted this in osm india forum)

  I have checked the info for India in 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative and could not 
find the boundary (admin_level) for parliamentary, assembly limits. I have only 
started image tracing over the NCR maps given by election commission and state 
election commissions. I could not find a better data source.
  Im using a number admin_level=6 for assembly boundaries and will use 
admin=5 for parliamentary boundaries.

Since electoral boundaries don't necessarily overlap with administrative 
boundaries, this scheme could get quite messy. I would think we should reserve 
the admin_level tags purely for administrative divisions like those mentioned 
here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_division

i.e States, Districts, Subdistricts, Municipal Corporations, 
Municipalities, Panchayats

There seems to be some work on boundary=political which is probably more 
relevant for constituencies: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dpolitical

But even I'm not completely sure how these boundaries compare in India, we 
have so many types of overlapping jurisdictions and need a better understanding 
of what they are to come up with a tagging scheme. Is there any comprehensive 
resources to understand all these boundaries, I'll document them on the wiki if 
there are any leads.

  Please suggest.

  Thanks,
  Vikas

Thanks Arun.

They are changed once after a census since all are usually use population
to adjust it properly though other parameters are also used. In conjunction
to government offices and their bodies, these boundaries are very critical.
Then there is a lot of meta data about the current MP, MLA or Councillor
 depending on the area. We can choose how much of it we put in OSM. Also,
all these three boundaries can overlap each other. There is no hierarchy to
these, e.g. assembly can belong to two parliamentary constituencies or two
municipal wards belong to two assemblies. All the infrastructure we have in
OSM india, like streets, schools, signals, toilets, they all belong to a
particular ward, assembly or parliamentary boundary depending on the type
of POI. When this gets defined properly, OSM data can later be used very
nicely by citizens to locate responsible offices for complaining and
monitoring, maintaining the public properties.

Since electoral boundaries don't necessarily overlap with administrative
boundaries, this scheme could get quite messy. I would think we should
reserve the admin_level tags purely for administrative divisions like those
mentioned here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_division

i.e States, Districts, Subdistricts, Municipal Corporations,
Municipalities, Panchayats

There seems to be some work on boundary=political which is probably more
relevant for constituencies:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dpolitical

But even I'm not completely sure how these boundaries compare in India, we
have so many types of overlapping jurisdictions and need a better
understanding of what they are to come up with a tagging scheme. Is there
any comprehensive resources to understand all these boundaries, I'll
document them on the wiki if there are any leads.

Please suggest.

[Talk-in] parliamentry, assembly seat boundaries

2013-12-15 Thread vikas yadav

Hi,

(also posted this in osm india forum)

I have checked the info for India in
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative and could
not find the boundary (admin_level) for parliamentary, assembly limits. I
have only started image tracing over the NCR maps given by election
commission and state election commissions. I could not find a better data
source.
Im using a number admin_level=6 for assembly boundaries and will use
admin=5 for parliamentary boundaries.
Please suggest.

Thanks,
Vikas
