Factors on Population and Socio-Economic Aspects in Provincial and District-Level Administrative Map Making (Illustrative Image)

To be specific: at Article 27 of Circular 47/2014/TT-BTNMT regulating population and socio-economic aspects in provincial and district-level administrative map making as follows:

- Representing and distinguishing urban population and rural population;

- Urban population is represented in 2 forms: ground plan symbols and non-scaled symbols;

- Ground plan symbols are used for all urban population points with an area on the map ≥ 50 mm² including: urban residential area boundary and main streets; urban population points with an area < 50 mm² are represented by non-scaled symbols;

- Rural population points with an area on the map ≥ 100 mm² are represented by ground plan symbols including: boundary of the most concentrated residential area and main roads;

- Concentrated population points with an area on the map < 100 mm² are represented by non-scaled symbols. Priority is given to selecting population points with national and provincial cultural and historical landmarks, famous scenic spots, related to national borders, administrative boundaries;

- Representation density is 10 points/1 dm². In special cases, the representation density can be adjusted to match the map’s capacity;

- Population points scattered along linear objects are represented by scattered house symbols and ensure density distribution;

- Selectively annotate the names of population points to match the map’s capacity in city centers, district-level towns, commune-level towns.

Regarding socio-economic aspects:

Represent all national and provincial-ranked historical sites, architectural art sites, archaeological sites, and scenic spots. Other socio-economic objects are selectively represented.

More details can be found in Circular 47/2014/TT-BTNMT, effective from August 22, 2014.
