Hanoi (VNA) – With the support of theUnited Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the General Statistics Office (GSO) hasdeveloped a spatial population and development data webpage, at https://gis.gso.gov.vn, to utilise results ofthe 2019 Population and Housing Census.

A workshop was held on December 9 to announce thegeographic information systems on population and development.

The webpage, the first of its kind in Vietnam, covers certainpopulation and socio-economic indicators from the Census and other relevantsources to meet the needs of population research by geography.

The results of the Census are a reliable data sourceon population size at the commune level, as well as population and housinginformation by demographic and other characteristics in all 63 provinces of Vietnam.

Naomi Kitahara, UNFPA Representative in Vietnam, saidthe webpage has provided the latest information to serve decision making, callingfor timely legal frameworks and policies that match rules of the InternationalConference on Population and Development (ICPD).

The data page was built with technical and financial assistancefrom the UNFPA Country Office in Vietnam, and with contributions from the UNJoint Sustainable Development Goals Fund.

It was developed based on the geographical coordinatesof households and relevant population and socio-economic information for theperiod 2016-2020. Indicators were disaggregated by demographic characteristicsand administrative units which will be annually updated. This will providepolicy makers and researchers with important information about population andtheir geographical locations in relation to social and environmental issues,contributing to meeting research needs and evidence based policy development.

Logging in to the population and development spatialdata webpage, users can observe the information represented by different maplayers, from which they can extract data in excel files and graphs to supportin-depth research and analysis.

The data page is also connected to the DisasterMonitoring System of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (VietnamDisaster Management Authority - VDMA) and integrated with the spatial data ofhealth facilities, which could be used to develop necessary interventions,focusing on vulnerable population groups such as the elderly, women inreproductive age and people affected by disasters./.
