Asian Population Database

Improve global, spatially referenced demographic data holdings. Such databases are useful for a variety of applications including strategic-level agricultural research and applications in the analysis of the human dimensions of global change.
This project has pooled available data sets, many of which had been assembled for the global demography project. All data were checked, international boundaries and coastlines were replaced with a standard template, the attribute database was redesigned, and new, more reliable population estimates for subnational units were produced for all countries. The project was carried out as a cooperative activity between NCGIA and UNEP (GRID-Geneva and GRID-Arendal) under the UNEP-CGIAR project on GIS in Agricultural Research)

Improved datasets and population distribution maps.
