Myanmar

Q: In what languages are the data and documentation provided?

The dataset is fully bilingual (English and Burmese). It includes paired columns for all administrative levels to ensure compatibility with both international and local systems:
· Region/State: region_en (English) and region (Burmese).
· Township: town_township_en and town_township.
· Quarter/Village Tract: quarter_village_tract_en and quarter_village_tract.

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Myanmar uses a 7-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 1501001), unlike many countries that use 5 digits.
· The first 2 digits represent the Region or State.
· The subsequent digits define the Township and specific delivery zone (Quarter/Village).

Q: Why are the 'town_township' fields empty for some records?

In some major urban centers, specific localities may be administered directly under the Region/State level without an intermediate Township designation. In these cases, the town_township and town_township_en columns will be empty. You should rely on the region and quarter_village_tract columns for address validation in these areas.

Q: What is the difference between "Quarter" and "Village Tract"?

These terms represent the third level of administrative division in Myanmar:
· Quarter (Rapkwin): Refers to an urban ward or neighborhood within a town.
· Village Tract (Kyeywa-oksu): Refers to a rural administrative unit consisting of several villages.
The dataset distinguishes between these types in the quarter_village_tract columns.

Q: How do I handle Burmese characters?

The dataset contains Burmese script (e.g., နေပြည်တော်). All files are encoded in UTF-8. You must ensure your database import settings or text editor is set to UTF-8 to display these characters correctly and to prevent "mojibake" (garbled text).

Q: What file formats are included in the delivery?

The package includes CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and TXT formats. We recommend using the Excel or CSV format for easy integration into your logistics or ERP systems.

This is a one-time purchase. The license grants perpetual use for personal and internal business purposes.
