Description:

Abstract:: GuoBiao (GB) Codes for the Administrative Divisions of the People's Republic of China consists of geographic codes for the administrative divisions of China. The data includes provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government), prefectures (prefecture-level cities, autonomous prefectures, leagues), and counties (districts, county-level cities, autonomous counties, banners) for 1 January 1982 to 31 December 1992. This dataset is produced in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Surveying and Mapping (CASM), University of Washington as part of the China in Time and Space (CITAS) project, and the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN). The data in Microsoft Access (MDB) and American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) formats are available from the NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC). To provide a dynamic matrix for the identification of spatially and temporally-specific data on Chinese administrative units.
