The Hansen Global Forest Change version 1.7 datasets generated during and/or analysed during the current study are available in the earth engine partner’s website repository http://earthenginepartners.appspot.com/science-2013-global-forest. The datasets were developed by Hansen et al. (2013) in their paper "High-resolution global maps of 21st-century forest cover change". Science, 342 (6160), 850-853. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1244693

The census of population in the Philippines, including the project populations, used in this study can be retrieved from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) website https://psa.gov.ph/statistics/census/projected-population

The datasets were processed using an open source GIS software (QGIS version 3.16 Hannover) which can be downloaded from the QGIS website https://www.qgis.org/en/site/.

These datasets are derived from the boundaries of the Barangays as observed at the end of April 2016 as per the Philippine Geographic Standard Code (PSGC) dataset. It has been generated on the basis of the layer created by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) in the context of the 2015 population census. These datasets have been vetted by staff at The Carl Vinson Institute of Government's Office of Information Technology Outreach Services (ITOS) according to their COD assessment protocol found in the COD Technical Support Package (https://sites.google.com/site/commonoperationaldataset/geodata-preparation-manual/itos-process).
Acknowledge PSA and NAMRIA as the sources. LMB is still the source of official administrative boundaries of the Philippines. In the absence of available official administrative boundary, the IMTWG have agreed to clean and use the PSA administrative boundaries which are used to facilitate data collection of surveys and censuses. The dataset can only be considered as indicative boundaries and not official. * For administrative level 4 (Barangay) please contact the contributor (OCHA Philippines) via this page. This COD replaces https://data.humdata.org/dataset/philippines-administrative-boundaries
