Notes
Administrative Population Source Data:
(1) 1999 Belarussian Census; (2) The 1989 Rayon level data is from ACASIAN; the 1999 population data is from the national statistical office
Administrative Boundary Source Data:
Australian Centre of the Asian Spatial Information and Analysis Network (ACASIAN).
Settlement Point Population Source Data:
City Population, www.citypopulation.de; Statistical Yearbook of Belarus 2000, UN Statistical Library, hard copy
Settlement Point Coordinate Source Data:

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 predominance of non-agricultural workers and their families.
Administrative Population Edits and Notes:
The 1999 population do not have separate population for the cities (ad. Gors), thus to match the 1989 data with the 1999 data, the population of the ad gors are merged with the parent rayons.
