Title:

Subnational Administrative Boundaries [Syrian Arab Republic]

Description:

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:** 15 January 2021 ITOS geoservices, shapefile, and geodatabase for populated places ("administrative level 4") added. 12 January 2021 ITOS geoservices, shapefiles, and geodatabase added.
