Abstract Census map also known as Enumeration map is an integral part of modern population and housing censuses. The fundamental features that make these maps mandatory for censuses is that they provide necessary spatial reference for the population eligible for enumeration. This, as may be expected, has significant influence on the more important technical and practical aspects of the censuses.

Census maps help to ensure total coverage of the population during enumeration as they make it possible to avoid under- as well as over-enumeration. These maps assist in planning and controlling the enumeration and ensure that the data is allocated to the correct administrative units. They also provide the basic frame for sampling as applied to censuses before, during or after the main census enumeration. Furthermore, maps prepared for a census can provide important reference material for future censuses and surveys. These maps can also be used as an aid in development planning, particularly at the small area level.

Description The EA boundaries and important features collected during the field mapping work were annotated on field maps, which were later digitized to facilitate automated production of census maps required for enumeration process. The digital process of census maps enabled the subsequent development of a geographical information database, which contains polygons (commonly referred to as shapefiles) and related information.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) intends to provide a geo-database with spatial and non-spatial information at five levels of geography, to facilitate presentation of data from censuses and other surveys. These levels are regional (level one), district (level two), ward/shehia (level three), villages/mitaa (level four) and enumeration areas (level five). Levels one and two have been put onto the NBS website in June, 2013 for use by various stakeholders, and the web-page will be continually updated to include other levels of shapefiles when they are ready for use. As mentioned above, the maps developed at all levels were meant to facilitate operations of the 2012 Population and Housing Census of Tanzania, including the dissemination programs of the census data and information.

This data is therefore in a continual state of development and improvement and thus the user of the shapefiles should keep this fact in mind. Users are invited to provide feedback on issues pertaining to content and clarity of the shapefiles posted onto this website in order to assist NBS in this process of improvement.
