Regional Units 2022 (Scale 1:4,500,000) - Data Table
The table belongs to a dataset collection that contains geographical data about the regions in Finland, sourced from the Statistics Finland (Tilastokeskus) website. The main contents of the table are captured under the categories of extraction date, row number, geographical data, and region details. It includes data about regions as of the year 2022 at a scale of 1:4,500,000.
The geographical data in the table is multifaceted, offering details about the type of geographical entity (polygon or multipolygon), its geographical representation in GeoJSON and GeoText formats, its centroid, and its X and Y center coordinates. These geographic coordinates are presented using the WGS 84 coordinate reference system, with the axis ordered as longitude first, followed by latitude. This comprehensive geographical data can be utilized for geospatial data analytics, such as studying population dispersion, planning logistics, or disaster management.
Region details are further broken down into the region's name in Finnish and Swedish, its unique identifier, and its name in a simplified form. These details can be used for socio-cultural or linguistic studies, policy planning, or business location strategy.
The table also includes two special columns: the extraction date and the row number. The extraction date indicates when the data was pulled from the source, and the row number denotes the order of data extraction. The combination of these two columns uniquely identifies each row in the table, ensuring data accuracy and traceability.
Field Descriptions
| Name | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| _extract_date | date | This column holds the date of data extraction from the source. It represents the point in time when the row data was collected. |
| _row_number | long | This column contains the row number in the data extracted from the source on the extract date specified by the column '_extract_date'. Together with '_extract_date', this column uniquely identifies each row. |
| geom_geojson | string | This column contains geometric data of a given area in GeoJSON format, which is a format for encoding a variety of geographic data structures. |
| geom_geotext | string | This column holds the geometric data of a given area in text format. |
| geom_type | string | This column specifies the type of geometric data stored in the row. The types can be polygon or multipolygon. |
| geom_centroid | string | This column contains the centroid of the geometric figure. The centroid is a point defining the geometric center of a figure. |
| geom_center_x | double | This column stores the x-coordinate of the center point of the geometric figure. |
| geom_center_y | double | This column stores the y-coordinate of the center point of the geometric figure. |
| gml_id | string | This column holds a unique identifier for each row, which is set by the 'Tilastokeskus' (Statistics Finland) data source. |
| name | string | This column contains a name, possibly the name of an area or region. |
| namn | string | This column holds another name, likely representing the same area or region in a different language. |
| nimi | string | This column contains another version of the name, likely representing the same area or region in a different language. |
| seutukunta | string | This column holds a string data, likely an identifier or code associated with the named area or region. |
| vuosi | long | This column holds an integer value, possibly representing the year associated with the data in the row. |
