Decentralized Municipal Entities v1.0 - January 2025

Geographic base of the decentralized municipal entities (EMD) of Catalonia, with their names and codes, derived from the delimitation files of the entities and the municipalities to which they belong, and from reference cartographic sources. Of the boundaries of the polygons of the EMD represented in this base, only those that have a recognition act, a resolution published in the DOGC or a judicial resolution that determines the current official line are definitive, as long as they have coordinates in the current reference system. The rest of the boundaries must be considered provisional. The EMD are a type of entity with a territorial scope lower than the municipality, that is, local governments below the municipalities.

Domain consistency

Name of measure
Compliance with INSPIRE requirements (metadata)
Evaluation method description
The compliance of the metadata is evaluated using the "INSPIRE Reference Validator" web tool. The metadata is considered correct when the only errors reported are related with the main language of the metadata file. These errors are due to the fact that Catalan is not included in the list of official languages of the European Union.

Statement
The determination of the polygons of the decentralized municipal entities comes from the selective fusion of the following sources of information: For the limits of the EMD and the limits between municipalities, of a definitive nature with coordinates in the current reference system, it comes from the reports of the topographic work carried out by the ICGC, based on the recognition records, the resolutions published in the DOGC or the judicial resolutions that determine the current official line; For the limits of the EMD of a definitive nature without coordinates in the current reference system, it comes from the interpretation of the recognition records, the resolutions published in the DOGC or the judicial resolutions that determine the current official line; For the boundaries of non-definitive EMDs, it comes from the interpretation and approximation of the old 1:50,000 Municipal Database of Catalonia of the ICGC, from the old cartographic minutes and the documentation (minutes, notebooks and cartography at a scale of 1:25,000) of the municipal demarcation files deposited at the National Geographic Institute; For the boundaries between municipalities of a non-definitive nature, it comes from the topographical re-planning or technical analysis of the municipal boundary lines of Catalonia carried out by the ICGC based on the documentation (minutes, notebooks and cartography at a scale of 1:25,000) of the municipal demarcation files deposited at the Instituto Geográfico Nacional; For the closing line of the polygons, with the sea and the neighbouring countries, it comes, respectively, from the coastline of the 1:5,000 Topographic Database of the ICGC and the "Base de datos de Límites Jurisdiccionales de España" of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional.
