Methodology

Admin 4 (settlements) level coordinates were derived from the Ukraine COD-AB dataset, Admin 4 (settlements) features.

QGIS “Pole of inaccessibility” geoprocessing tool was used to create a point layer from the polygon Admin 4 (settlement) layer. All created points are located within the original polygons. Coordinates were calculated using the WGS84 coordinate system.

Populated places types (City, Town, and Village) and statuses (Admin 0/1/2/3 capital) were derived from the original administrative boundaries database shared by SSPE “Kartographia” for the preparation of Ukraine COD-AB 2023 release.

Caveats / Comments

Inconsistencies have been observed in the feature name translations, particularly at administrative level 4. In some cases, for instance, a set of features with the same Ukrainian name may have more than one Russian or English equivalent. Most variations appear to be minor spelling variations.
