This repository contains a dataset of deelgemeenten as used by Flanders
Heritage Agency. In our (unofficial)
terminology, a deelgemeente (sub-municipality) is a part of a current day
gemeente (municipality) that historically used to be somewhat independent.
Most of them were a gemeente before the mergers that took place during the
seventies, but some of them were gone even before that time. As such this list
reflects no special point in time and has no historical significance whatsoever.
It is just the list we use in our day to day operations. Most importantly, the
Inventaris Onroerend Erfgoed uses
this list for indexing erfgoedobjecten, aanduidingsobjecten, waarnemingen,
gebeurtenissen and thema's. You are welcome to use it, but please do NOT consider
this an official list of deelgemeenten. As far as we know such a list does not
exist either.
Three files are provided. Both provide the same data, but in different formats.
The first, deelgemeenten.csv provides the data in csvformat. The second,
deelgemeenten.json provides it in a simple json format. The third file,
deelgemeenten.geojson provides it in geojson format. Although at the moment the
geojson files contains no geographic information, it is possible that this will
be added later on.
