Divisions
GADM database of Global Administrative Areas Country outlines and administrative subdivisions for all countries. The level of subdivision varies between countries. GADM is a spatial database of the location of the world's administrative areas (or adminstrative boundaries) for use in GIS and similar software. Administrative areas in this database are countries and lower level subdivisions such as provinces, departments, bibhag, bundeslander, daerah istimewa, fivondronana, krong, landsvæðun, opština, sous-préfectures, counties, and thana. GADM describes where these administrative areas are (the

Unit harmonisation applied to this dataset
Every number in Atlas is stored in one canonical unit; the original value and unit are always kept
| Source field | Measure | Source unit | Atlas unit | Factor | Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shape_Length | area/length | unknown (often degrees) | — | — | excluded unit not stated; geodesic area/length computed from geometry instead |
| Shape_Area | area/length | unknown (often degrees) | — | — | excluded unit not stated; geodesic area/length computed from geometry instead |
| geometry | area / length | EPSG:4326 degrees | ha / m | — | geodesic area (ha), perimeter (m) and length (km) computed on the WGS 84 ellipsoid with PostGIS |
