Geotagging of Missing Building Points from Processed Post-Census Maps and EA Delineation for the Development of

EARF for the 2022 CAF

CHAPTER 6: PREPARATION OF
MATERIALS AND CREATION OF
PROJECT

This chapter focuses on the preparation of materials and the creation of QGIS
Project—which are necessary prerequisites in the Geotagging of Missing Building Points
from Processed Post-Census Maps and EA Delineation for the Development of
Enumeration Area Reference File (EARF) for the 2022 Census of Agriculture and
Fisheries (2022 CAF) activity. The personnel involved in this undertaking, specifically the
Map Data Processor (MDP) must be familiar with the current stratification of the PSA-GIS
folder structure in order to properly store and use both of the reference and current
materials that will be used during this activity.

6.1 THE PSA-GIS FOLDER STRUCTURE

The PSA-GIS folder is the main directory that consists of all the corresponding
folders for the map updating activity for each Province/HUC. These folders shall contain
all the different files and materials used during the previous and recent mapping
operations and census activities.

Inside the PSA-GIS folder is the Province/HUC folder. As the name implies, this
shall be a centralized folder storage for a particular Province/HUC. Thus, containing only
the files necessary for the specified area including the needed materials for a mapping
activity.

Chapter 6 Preparation of Materials and Creation of Project | 88

NOTE:
Skip this part 6.4 FOR PROVINCES/HUCs WITH MORE THAN ONE MDP for
Provinces/HUCs with only one (1) MDP and go to 6.5 MATCHING EA GEOCODES VS.
BGY GEOCODES.

Before the creation of project for the 2022 Census Maps for the 2022 CAF, the Provincial
Focal Person (PFP) for Mapping should establish a strategy on how to effectively and
equally divide a group of barangays within the city/municipality for each MDP (Map Data
Processor).

The PFP should consider the following guidelines in assigning the barangays within the
municipality:

✓ The barangays within the municipality should be equally divided based on the

6.5 MATCHING EA GEOCODES VS. BGY GEOCODES

In this part of the chapter, the MDP must match the geocode of both the EA and BGY
layers to make sure that the geocode of each EA in a barangay is consistent with the
geocode of the BGY it belongs to and vice versa.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
The following procedure from this part of the manual to the succeeding chapters will make
use of the project prepared for a Province/HUC with a single MDP (Siquijor_2022caf.qgs). For those
Province/HUC with multiple MDPs, please use the project named City/MunName_2022caf-01.qgs,
where -01 is for MDP 1, -02 is for MDP 2 and so on.

A. Matching Enumeration Area Geocode vs. Barangay Geocode Using a Modeler

1. Open Siquijor_2022caf.qgs project in QGIS 3.4.
2. In the file explorer, go to :\PSA-GIS\Map Legends.
3. Locate ea_bgy_geocode_matching.model3, drag and drop the modeler in the
opened QGIS project.
4. Set the parameters in the EA2019 Matching With Barangay window as follows:

5. Click Run.

e. Compare the geocode of the EA selected in 6106_ea2019 and the bgy

identified in 6106_bgy (up to the 7th digit of the geocode – ppmmbbb).

NOTE:

The geocode of the EA will always prevail.

f. Inform the PFP of the inconsistency identified. Wait for the approval of
the PFP regarding the action to take.
