Frequently Asked Questions
- What exactly is included in the "All-in-One" package?
- The All-in-One package contains the complete administrative hierarchy for Belarus. Instead of buying individual levels, you receive a bundled download containing high-precision boundary polygons for every available tier—from top-level regions/provinces down to the most granular local municipalities or statistical sectors.
- Are the different administrative layers organized separately?
- Yes. To ensure immediate usability in your preferred GIS software, each administrative level is neatly organized into its own dedicated Shapefile (.shp) and GeoPackage (.gpkg) within the downloaded package.
- What coordinate reference system (projection) is used?
- All boundary files are delivered in the standard WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) geographic coordinate system.
- Can these boundaries be used for commercial location intelligence and market analysis?
- Yes. These packages are specifically designed for organizations that require seamless geospatial drill-downs. They are ideal for territory mapping, geodemographic routing, market sizing, demand forecasting, and neighbourhood-level insights.
- Do all administrative levels in the package contain demographic data?
- This package focuses strictly on high-precision geographic boundaries and does not include integrated demographic data at these levels. For base demographics, please explore our dedicated Geodemographics Datasets linked in the related resources above.
- Do you offer free samples before I purchase the complete package?
- Yes! We provide free samples of our base demographics data and structural attributes. Please get in touch with us at contact@geolocet.com to request a sample, request additional attributes, or inquire about custom data formats.
