Reclassifying natural protected areas in Cambodia

This dataset collects data on the reclassifying of protected areas by increasing the area and decreasing the area of ​​protected areas in Cambodia, such as: protected landscape, wildlife sanctuary, natural heritage site, multiple use area, ramsar site, and national park. This data was collected from a sub-decree issued by the government. The coordinate system, WGS 84, Zone 48N, is used to determine this geographical data, which is digitized using the coordinate numbers and maps contained in the sub-decree. The dataset of natural protected areas before reclassifying can be accessed via this link: https://data.opendevelopmentcambodia.net/en/dataset/protectedareas

Attribute Accuracy There are no known issues with attribute accuracy.
Logical Consistency There is no logical consistency.
Completeness This dataset was simply digitized from scanned PDF or images from the sub-decree; it was not obtained directly from the implementer agency or government. Data shall be update according to the sub-decrees in the publish domain. Yet, a few maps couldn't digitize by the sub decree didn't attach the coordinates and map. Therefore, this dataset will be updated accordingly.
Process Step Available data was collected by ODC from sub-decree. The data in pdf or image format was then transformed to SQLITE file by georeferencing, and digitizing. The data in SQLITE format then exported to DB_TABLE, and WMS that can download as KML, Shapefile and GeoJSON files.
