Syrian Arab Republic - Subnational Administrative Boundaries

This dataset is part of the Syrian Arab Republic Data Grid

Syria Administrative boundaries for levels 0 - 4, with Arabic Names, English Names, and p-codes.

Geodatabase maintains Arabic names better than shapefile

Note that Admin 4 is the populated places layer.

Admin Level 1= Governorate = Mohafaza

Admin Level 2 = District = Mantika

Admin Level 3 = Sub-district= Nahya

Populated places (also known as "Admin Level 4") = City or Village

Dataset organization: Administrative boundary resources (shapefiles, geodatabases. and gazetteer) are separate from the populated places shapefiles resources except the live geoservices, which provide both administrative boundaries and populated places.

Most Recent Changes: 11 July 2024 added 257 New community. added 3 Columns: Admin 1 Capital: Indicates whether the community is an Admin 1 capital (Yes/No). Admin 3 Capital: Indicates whether the community is an Admin 3 capital (Yes/No). Hosting Individuals**: Contains a list of communities that host populations displaced from Quneitra in 1967. Although these populations reside in Dara, Damascus, and Rural Damascus governorates, many of them receive services from Quneitra Governorate. Therefore, it’s important for humanitarian partners to know which Governorate they need to coordinate with to reach these individuals.

24 January 2023 added 100 Communities.
