- Title
- Ukraine - Subnational Administrative Boundaries
- Description
- The actual boundaries were most recently adjusted in: January 2025. Boundary information source: State Scientific Production Enterprise "Kartographia". Contributor: OCHA Field Information Services Section (FISS). COD-AB quality level: cod-enhanced (geometry and attributes verified and standardized). Most recent COD-AB review conclusion: The COD-AB does not require any update. An edge-matched (COD-EM) dataset is available COD-EM HDX link: https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-em-ukr. OCHA country status: Operational (country office). Most recent COD-AB review date: January 2025. Deepest administrative level: ADM4. COD-PS HDX URL: https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-ps-ukr. Deepest administrative level with complete coverage: ADM3. Administrative level required by humanitarian community: ADM2. Note: The Ukrainian government has not fully implemented its new administrative structure reforms in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea [UA01] and Sevastopol [UA85]. Consequently, 31 ADM4 features within the Sevastopol ADM3 polygon retain P-codes that do not correctly conform to [UA85]. This will be rectified in a COD-AB update once the government has regained control of the Crimean Peninsula. Note: Some administrative feature names were adjusted in a September/October 2024 administratrive feature renaming exercise. See reference table at https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-ab-ukr. Note: The Ukraine COD-AB was most recently adjusted in early 2024 - affecting administrative level 3 (hromadas) only. Note: The population statistics common operational dataset (COD-PS-UKR) is only available via special request. See [Ukraine - Subnational Population Statistics](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-ps-ukr). Users should use the 'Request Data' button. Note: Limitations of the Ukrainian-to-Russian transliteration method mean that more than one Ukrainian name may be represented by a single Russian feature name. Note: Feature name attribute fields in this dataset incorrectly use 'UA' to represent the Ukrainian language. The correct language code is 'UK'. This will be resolved in 2026. Note: ADM0 is not affected by the September/October 2024 administrative feature renaming exercise. Typical feature type: oblast (region) with three exceptions. P-code format: UAnn. COD-PS compatibility: ADM0, ADM1, ADM2. OCHA region: Europe. Feature count: 27. The ADM1 layer can be linked by P-CODE to the ADM1 Population statistics. Note: Kyiv (city) [UA80] and Sevastopol [UA85] are each a 'city with special status' rather than an 'oblast'. Note: Crimea [UA01] is an 'autonomous republic' rather than an 'oblast'. Note: However, Ukraine Population Statistics are only available on special request. ADMINISTRATIVE LEVEL 4 metadata: Typical feature type: ADM4 features may be of 'city', 'settlement', or 'village' type. However, all 'village' features are currently categorized in the 'ADM4_TYPE' as a 'settlement'. This is expected to be resolved in 2026. P-code format: UAnnnnnnnnnn. Feature count: 29707. COD-PS compatibility: no ADM4 population statistics are available. COD-PS HDX URL: https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-ps-ukr. Note: 329 ADM4 features were affected by the September/October 2024 administrative feature renaming excercise. Specific details are provided in the 'ADM4' tab of the 'UKR_Admin234_Renaming_ReferenceTable_20250123.xlsx' reference table available on the HDX dataset [Ukraine - Subnational Administrative Boundaries](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-ab-ukr). Note: The COD-AB ADM4 boundary attributes for this COD-AB have not been adjusted. The Ukrainian government has not fully implemented its new administrative structure reforms in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea [UA01] and Sevastopol [UA85]. Consequently, 31 ADM4 features within the Sevastopol ADM3 polygon retain P-codes that do not correctly conform to [UA85]. This will be rectified in a COD-AB update once the government has regained control of the Crimean Peninsula.
