Provisional reference file for municipal boundaries, status 17/08/2017 - correction

The Preliminary Reference File Municipal Boundaries contains information about the demarcations of the territory of the administrative units in the Flemish Region: Municipalities, Administrative Districts, Provinces and the Flemish Region. This dataset also contains meta-information about the origin of the geometry of the municipal boundaries. The provisional reference file for municipal boundaries serves as a geometric and object reference for the administrative divisions in Flanders. The best available information is used to construct the geometry of the municipal boundaries. used. In many cases, the geometry of the adp's (administrative plots) of the GRB (Large Scale Reference File) has been used, unless better established geometric information (such as e.g. lists of coordinates published in the Belgian Official Gazette when boundaries are established) is available. Regional and national borders of the Flemish Region, drawn up by AAPD (General Administration of Patrimonial Documentation, Federal Public Service Finance) on the basis of the various available sources, have been integrated into this version. The geometry of the border with the Netherlands has been defined in the context of a number of border commissions. The geometry of the land border with the Netherlands is therefore officially fixed. The geometry of the border with France has not been formally validated with France, but AAPD assumes that it will not change. The geometry of the border with the Brussels and Walloon Region still needs final validation, but any changes will be limited to very local adjustments.
