Provisional municipal boundaries reference file, condition 16/05/2018 (valid from 01/01/2019)

Description

The Provisional Municipal Borders Reference File contains information on the demarcations of the territory of the administrative units in the Flemish Region: Municipalities, administrative districts, provinces and the Flemish Region. Furthermore, this dataset contains meta-information about the origin of the geometry of the municipal borders.The preliminary reference file municipal borders serves as a geometric and object reference for the administrative classifications in Flanders.For the construction of the geometry of the municipal borders, the best available information is used. In many cases, the geometry of the APs (administrative parcels) of the GRB (Large-scale Reference File) has been used, unless better established geometric information (such as, for example, lists of coordinates published in the Belgian Official Gazette when determining borders) is in advance.The regional and national borders of the Flemish Region, drawn up by AAPD (General Administration of the Patrimonial Documentation, Federal Public Service Finance) on the basis of the various available sources, have been integrated into this version.The geometry of the border with the Netherlands has been established within the framework of a number of border commissions. The geometry of the national border with the Netherlands is thus officially fixed.The geometry of the border with France has not been formally validated with France, but AAPD assumes that it will not change any more.The geometry of the border with the Brussels and Walloon Region has yet to be finally validated, any changes will however be limited to very local adjustments.This version incorporates the mergers as implemented on 01/01/2019.The Directorate-General for Statistics Belgium has assigned new NIS codes to these new municipalities. These will be in force on the start date of the merger (on 01/01/2019):- Meeuwen-Gruitrode and Opglabbeek: NIS 72042 (new name: Oudsbergen)- Neerpelt and Overpelt: NIS 72043 (new name: Pelt)- Kruishoutem and Zingem: NIS 45068 (new name: Kruisem)- Aalter and Knesselare: NIS 44084 (new name: Aalter)- Deinze and Nevele: NIS 44083 (new name: Deinze)- Puurs and Sint-Amands: NIS 12041 (new name: Puurs-Sint-Amands)- Waarschoot, Lovendegem & Zomergem: NIS 44085 (new name: Lievegem)
