# Finnish Municipalities and Provinces
|
|
|
|
This small repository was created because I couldn't find any place where one could get the up to date listing of municipalities and/or provinces of Finland. This repository should provide information where to find all the data online, and provide help how to use it.
|
|
|
|
## Up to date Municipalities and Provinces listing (`kunta_mk_teksti`)
|
|
|
|
This script takes the listing from [Statistics Finland][stats-fi] and cleans it up for you.
|
|
|
|
1. Browse to [https://www.stat.fi/meta/luokitukset/kunta/001-2017/luokitusavaimet.html](https://www.stat.fi/meta/luokitukset/kunta/001-2017/luokitusavaimet.html)
|
|
2. Search for `Kunnat 2017 / Maakunta 2017` or similar and download the `tekstitiedosto (txt)`
|
|
- See [Terms of use][stats-fi-tos]
|
|
- Protip: Changing the url part `001-2017` to `001-2016` shows the previous year, if you need that for some reason.
|
|
3. Place the text file next to `kunta_mk_teksti.php`
|
|
4. Browse to/Run `kunta_mk_teksti.php` and get the list in easy to read, alphabetical format
|
|
|
|
## Up to date Municipalities in GeoJSON
|
|
|
|
This one requires a bit of fiddling and conversion. From GML to GeoJSON to be exact.
|
|
|
|
1. Getting the data
|
|
1. Open [National Land Survey of Finland][nls]'s [File service of open data][nls-fsod] (see [Terms of service][nls-tos])
|
|
2. Select one of "Municipal Division" from left sidebar (you probably need to scroll the listing) by clicking the green plus-symbol
|
|
3. Select `GML` as file format (`etrs-tm35fin` is as of writing the only coordinate system they provide, [read more here][tm35fin])
|
|
4. Click the center container to apply the selected layer
|
|
5. Click "Place your order" on the right hand side panel and follow directions to get the material
|
|
2. Converting the data to GeoJSON
|
|
- [GeoConverter][gc] (web, [tos][gc-tos])
|
|
- [MyGeodata Converter][mgc] (web, paid plans, [tos][mgc-tos])
|
|
- [OpenGeoTools][ogt] (web, [tos][ogt-tos])
|
|
- [Ogre][ogre-web] (web, [open source](https://github.com/wavded/ogre)) "ogr2ogr geojson-focused web client"
|
|
- [ogr2ogr][ogr2ogr] seems to be _the cli tool_ everything else is based on. Part of [GDAL project][gdal].
