Product Description of SIG Republic 250K

Description

SIG Republic 250k is a digital geographic database of the Republic of Panama derived from a variety of sources, of which the primary source is the Instituto Geográfico Nacional "Tommy Guardia" 1:250,000 scale 12 sheet map set. These map sheets are based upon photo-planimetric data from 1982 and represents the most comprehensive available source of spatial data at this scale for the Republic of Panama. From this primary source, we have created a comprehensive national digital spatial data base in ArcView shape file format. The coverages are referenced in UTM coordinate system.

SIG Republic includes the following geographic coverages and features:

• Hydrology: ocean, rivers, streams and lakes, each feature assigned an attribute containing the features name.
• Contour intervals at 200 meter with some supplementary contour intervals at 100 meters
• High elevation points from most hills and peak to complement the contour intervals
• Transportation network with primary, secondary and tertiary highways and roads, each .
• Political divisions including national, provincial, district and corrigimientos boundaries. As the district and corrigimientos boundaries on the 1:250,000 scale Tommy Guardia map sheets are inaccurate; we digitized the boundaries from the Controloria (Comptroller) maps of the official political boundaries.
• Over 6,000 points representing cities, towns and villages with over 100 individuals in population.  Many of the town locations were digitized from 1:50,000 scale maps for more precise locations. Some towns were digitized from the 1:250,000 scale maps where 1:50,000 scale maps were not available. Most of the towns are integrated with a sophisticated database of the census population and socio-economic data from the 1990 census. This census data includes: number of men, women, children, age ranges, education backgrounds, median income, number of households, house construction, access to services, percentage households with radio, television, telephone, etc. This census data provide a complete demographic and socio-economic profile of each town.
• Protected areas, forest reserves, national parks, biosphere reserves and national monuments (123kb) each area has several attributes. Area name, law that established the protected area, date of establishment, agency and administrator of the park.
• Indigenous Comarcas (98 kb) includes precise boundaries for all indigenous area including Comarca de San Blas, Ngobe-Buglé, Madungandí and Sambú and Cemaco Emberá and Waunaun Indignous territories
• Forested areas (115 kb) of Panama derived from 1992 satellite images includes three primary categories – old growth forest, high disturbed forest and no forest.
• Index of poverty at the District level, derived from 1990 Census data
• Geographic locations – the database includes a coverage of the names and location of geographic features as a gazetteer coverage. This coverage includes the location of areas that are not water features or towns. For example, names of islands, capes and peninsulas.
• UTM grid at 10 kilometers for ease of use in map publications.
• Three-dimensional model of the Republic of Panama derived from the 200-meter contour intervals and high elevation points.   The model is stored as a geo-referenced raster image.
• A pre-designed ArcView project with map views, thematic maps and map layouts for ease of use in creating high-quality map publications.
• SIG Republic is provided with ArcExplorer from (Environmental Studies Research Institute -ESRI), an easy to use GIS visualization program that permits user to view, pan, zoom, identify, query and print GIS databases.

In all case, SIG Republic makes extensive use of attribute tables to ensure that all significant features have names and appropriate attributes assigned to them. As the maps contains all internal political boundaries provinces, districts and Corrigimientos SIG Republic users can assigned any custom attributes to these political features that they wish and create thematic maps and perform spatial analysis on the attributes that they assign. For example, an agriculture analyst may wish to assign rice crop production figures for each corregimiento and then create a thematic map where color represents a particular range of rice production.

SIG Republic, suitable for national and regional analysis, can serve as a GIS database for inserting local data as well.  For example, each town is represented by single point however, a user could substitute a complete municipal GIS with streets and buildings within the SIG Republic database.

Media and File Format

The Digital GIS databases are delivered on CD-ROM in ArcView shape file format for use with products compatible with GIS data from Environmental Studies Research Institute (ESRI).  The databases are available in a variety of other formats including AutoCAD .dxf or .dwg, ARC/INFO coverage format or most other vectors formats by special order.

User License Agreement

All user of SIG Republic will sign a license that delineates their use rights and obligations.
