Municipalities in 2014 (Scale 1:1 000 000)
The table in question is part of a larger dataset collection, capturing a comprehensive view of municipalities in Finland as they were in 2014. Sourced from the Finnish statistical authority, 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland), this table includes various columns that outline different aspects of each municipality.
The table stores specific geographic details for each municipality, with a series of 'geom_' prefixed columns. These columns provide information in different formats, like GeoJSON and GeoText, making them versatile for various geospatial data analytics applications. They also include the centroid of the area and its central points in the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, where longitude comes before latitude.
Beyond the geographical data, the table also includes columns that identify the municipality by different names and the year of the record.
Two special columns, '_extract_date' and '_row_number', serve to uniquely identify each row in this table. The former indicates the date when the data for that row was extracted, while the latter provides the row's number in the data extracted on that specific date.
The data in this table could be utilized in various ways. For instance, one could use the geographical data for spatial analysis, such as determining the geographical center of each municipality, or perhaps for creating detailed maps of Finland's municipalities. The data could also be used in time-series analysis, leveraging the '_extract_date' column to track changes to the municipalities over time. Additionally, the table could serve as a valuable reference for researchers or policy makers interested in regional analysis and planning.
