Qatar Statistical Geospatial Integration
Qatar Statistics belongs to the Ministry of Development Planning &
Statistics (MDPS) and sole authorized agency for National Statistics.
It maintains statistical databases collecting primary data through
periodical Census and Surveys and regularly collecting secondary data
from Government, semi-Government and Private agencies and
Establishments in the country.
Qatar Statistics is one of the premier agencies belonging to Qatar
Nationwide enterprise GIS system functional in the country since 1994.

Fundamental Geospatial Infrastructure
1. Use of Fundamental Geospatial
Infrastructure and Geocoding
In a Nationwide GIS system (GISnet), the base Geospatial Information
is available on-line to the Agencies through centralized GIS Servers
maintained by the CGIS.
Qatar Statistics being part of the GISnet receives all its geospatial
information needs on-line and integrates with its statistical system, and,
in turn
Shares Census Geography and disseminates the geo-referenced
statistical data to the Agencies on-line through GISnet and other media
including Web and portals like AGOL.

Qatar Census 2015- Field Map
1. Use of Fundamental Geospatial
Infrastructure and Geocoding
Qatar has an address referencing system named as QARS
(Qatar Area Referencing System) that provides a solid base
for geocoded addresses in the country.
The location information of these units (about 10%) not
covered under QARS is captured using GPS/Mobile devices
at the time of Census, as done for the Mid Census 2015.
Combining them and further integrating Administrative
Records MDPS developed an address database for the
Census.
The Unit Addresses are aggregated to the Geocoded Census
Blocks
1. Use of Fundamental Geospatial
Infrastructure and Geocoding
The Administrative Records accessed online from its sources and
integrated with Qatar mid-Census 2015 include-
Address Data- Qatar Area Referencing System (QARS)
Building Permit Data
Establishment Registration Number (CR)
Electricity Meter No.
Personal Identification Number (QID)
2. Geocoded Unit Record Data in a Data
Management Environment
Qatar Area Referencing System (QARS) and property address data maintained by
CGIS in GISnet forms the base for geo-referenced information in developing
Qatar Statistical System and Census Frames for each Census and Survey
conducted.
A geocoded Census Frame is developed for every Census in the country using
Geospatial Information and Administrative Records.
The lowest geocoded unit is a Census Block with a unique geographic code
assigned to each.
A Census Block is a group of buildings/unit (QARS) well identified within the
Census Block using a census geographic code.

3. Common Geographies for
Dissemination of Statistics
Qatar Statistics disseminates Geocoded Statistical data at different
administrative and statistical unit level under a well prepared tabulation
plan.
As an Statistical Authority MDPS follows certain guidelines towards data
secrecy and confidentiality law. A non-discloser agreement gets signed in
case of any sensitive data being supplied to the users.
MDPS gets CGIS guidelines to Geospatial data structure, data model,
metadata standards and data dictionary specifications etc. used in
Statistical Operations

4. Statistical and geospatial
interoperability – Data, Standards and
Processes
MDPS applies relevant statistical standards set by international bodies
such as UN, IMF, World Bank etc. for statistical framework and
classifications.
Being part of Qatar Nationwide (GISnet), Qatar Statistics follows the
geospatial standards set by CGIS which are based on international
standards set for geospatial information.
In order to be capable of integrating its data with any other member
agency's GIS a single GIS software platform was selected as the
standard for Qatar.
4. Statistical and geospatial
interoperability – Data, Standards and
Processes
The geospatial data specifications are administered under the authority
of the National Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Steering
Committee.
It is the responsibility of this committee to provide national standards
and specifications for all GIS databases in the State of Qatar that are
compatible, and provide for effective sharing / exchange of data where
such sharing is warranted.
5. Accessible and usable Geospatially
enabled Statistics
By law of the State MDPS is the official source and the sole reference for
all statistical data in the state (Decree Law No.12, 1980).
Accordingly, Qatar Statistics (MDPS) has set laws and principles that
applies to the access and use of the statistical as well as geospatial data
under its custody.

5. Accessible and usable Geospatially
enabled Statistics
The United Nations guidelines are followed in disseminating the
statistics, its visualization and analysis of data.
The UNSD fourth revision (2008) on International Standard Industrial
Classifications (ISIC) activity categories are utilized for the collection and
reporting of statistics according to such activities.
Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) and other such
standards set by international agencies in data dissemination are being
adopted by Qatar Statistics.
Qatar Application of SSF- Five Broad
Principles
Qatar has a Nationwide (SDI) Enterprise GIS managing countries geospatial resources and information. Currently 92 Government/ Semi-Government agencies are physically connected through the Centre for GIS (CGIS).
1. available on-line to the Agencies in Qatar Nationwide GIS setup
2. UN guidelines and standards in disseminating the statistics
1. Within the Qatar Nationwide GIS setup interoperability measures for exchange of Geospatial information is taken.
2. MDPS applies relevant statistical standards set by international bodies such as UN, IMF, World Bank etc. for statistical framework and classifications.
Qatar Census Geography database is created within the Nationwide GIS setup that follows National Geospatial Standards and Specifications set for all agencies. Small Census Data Units are basis for dissemination.
Existing Address system in Qatar- QARS provides Geocoded Unit Record Data besides the geocoded Census Blocks for Geocoded Management Environment

Conclusions
Qatar Nationwide GIS setup has many advantages in Application of Qatar SSF that
may include-
Availability of Up-to-date Geospatial Information for Base Mapping on-line
from Agencies in GISnet
Enabling the Integration of a number of geographic and other layers of
information from Agencies’ GIS databases
Support in Application Development and accessing state-of-the-art
techniques and application softwares through Enterprise Licensing System.
Address Database of QARS available for geo-referencing at unit record level in
the country besides supporting Place Names reference data by maintaining
Landmarks and Geographic Names databases
Current smallest Geocoded units for data dissemination is the Census Block
(a group of Buildings) which are not homogeneous in size and shape and in
their socio-economic structure
The Census Blocks have also limitations in comparing inter-Census data as
their boundaries change from one Census to other.
It is recommended to have a Permanent Statistical Data Unit to collect and
represent the information.
The smallest unit in this case can be suggested as Building Block (could be
group of few buildings based on their proximity and homogeneity)
Conclusions
Thank you
Qatar Statistical Geospatial Framework
(SSF)
There is seen a paradigm shift in Statistical Operations as
Geospatial Infrastructure is providing a structure for collecting,
processing, storing and aggregating data (an integrative
framework)
UN Committee of Experts on GGIM in August 2013 has
concluded that “ There is a clear recognition of the need to link
Statistical Information and Geospatial Information to improve the
relevance of the evidence on which decisions will be made.”
Global Statistical Geospatial Framework
Qatar Statistical Geospatial Framework
(SSF)
According to the UN EG‐ISGI the Global Statistical Geospatial
Framework (SSF) will enable:
– More integrated information for analysis and decision making
– Comparisons within and between countries
– Increased information on smaller geographic areas;
– The commercial development of common geospatial tools/applications
to support the integration and sharing of data
Global Statistical Geospatial Framework
The five broad principles considered essential for integrating
geospatial and statistical information are as displayed in the diagram
here-
Qatar Statistical Geospatial Framework
(SSF)
Global Statistical Geospatial Framework
The EG on ISGI have concluded that these five principles of the Global
Statistical Geospatial Framework (SSF) are high-level and flexible
enough that they can be adapted and applied to a wide variety of
country or regional contexts.
Because the principles have been kept broad, they can be applied to
local circumstances, while still providing encouragement for the use of
international standards and methods

• Conclusions
The Issues in the Application of SSF can be highlighted as-
Maintaining unit record level information and its dissemination has
many limitations relating to geo-referencing issues and privacy of
statistics
Regular updating of QARS database combined with place names data
is important to have a complete and up-to-date Address database
system for the country
Use of Grid data in geo-referencing and in serving as small area
statistics unit can be experimented and suggested with reference to
GCC and Arab countries

• Conclusions & Recommendations
Current smallest Geocoded units for data dissemination is the
Census Block (a group of Buildings) which are not homogeneous in
size and shape and in their socio-economic structure
The Census Blocks have also limitations in comparing inter-Census
data as their boundaries change from one Census to other.

• Conclusions and Issues in the Application of Qatar Global Statistical Geospatial Framework (QSSF)
Making Small Area Statistics available to the user specified areas is also
challenging
The data currency and future estimates are also important issues in use of
integrated Statistical and Geospatial Information for Planning &
Development
The use of National Registers in maintaining Address database at Unit
Record Level and regular updating of census information is currently not
encouraged
Qatar Statistical Geospatial Framework
(SSF)
• Conclusions and Issues in the Application of Qatar Global Statistical Geospatial Framework (QSSF)
Fast Changing Landscape of Qatar with settlement and infrastructure
development makes difficult maintaining up-to-date Address database of
Geocoded Unit Records in the country
The draft document prepared by CGIS on Qatar National Geospatial
Data Infrastructure Strategy (QNGDIS) may prove a significant move of
the Government in use of Geospatial Information and its integration
with Official Statistics
