Urban Criteria for Settlements (UN):
Cities and urban-type localities, officially designated as such, usually according to criteria based on the number of inhabitants and pre-dominance of non-agricultural workers and their families.
Administrative Population Edits and Notes:
Population estimates were reallocated from Alaiskii into the new administrative units of Chon Alai and Alay by based on the 1999 population distribution within these two units. The populations of Jumgal and Jaiyl were extrapolated back from 1999 to 1995 and 1990 using United Nations population growth rates to correspond with boundary changes. The administrative units of Kara-Balty and Cholpon-Ata (ad.gors.) were missing from the 1999 population data. To include them, their 1995 population values were extrapolated to 1999 using UN national growth rates.
Administrative Spatial Edits and Notes:
The administrative unit of Alaiskii split into the two units of Chon Alai and Alay between 1989 and 1999. In order to create a set of matching boundaries between the two time periods, a boundary line was digitized in Alaiskii and the two units were renamed Chon Alai and Alay. The administrative units of Kantskii and Issyk-Atinskii merged to form Isyk-Ata between 1989 and 1999. The two were therefore aggregated in the shapefile. Part of the administrative unit Jumgal (previously called Dzhumgalskii) was split off and added to Jaiyl. In order to reflect this change, a line was digitized into Jumgal using SALB boundaries as a reference.
