Repubblica Ceca

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

The dataset retains the official Czech column headers (e.g., kraj, okres, obce) to align with national standards. However, a comprehensive user guide in English is included with the purchase, providing detailed translations and technical definitions for every field.

Q: What is the difference between 'obce' and 'c_obce'?

Understanding this distinction is critical for accurate address matching in the Czech Republic:
· obce (Municipality): The primary administrative unit of local government.
· c_obce (Part of Municipality): A specific sub-division, such as a village, borough, or quarter. Often, a single Municipality ('obce') is composed of multiple distinct villages ('c_obce'). For the most precise location data, you should validate against the c_obce column.

Q: Why is the Post Office name ('nazpost') different from the City name?

The nazpost column lists the specific Post Office responsible for delivery, which may not match the physical location name:
1. Rural Areas: Small villages often do not have their own post office and are served by a post office in a neighboring town (e.g., the village "Slavkov" is served by "Lipník nad Bečvou").
2. Major Cities: In cities like Olomouc, post offices are often numbered to designate specific delivery districts (e.g., "Olomouc 9", "Olomouc 18").

Q: How do I handle Czech special characters?

The dataset contains Czech diacritics (e.g., ř, š, č, ž, ů). All files are encoded in UTF-8. You must ensure your database or spreadsheet software is set to import as UTF-8, otherwise, names like "Želechovice" may appear corrupt.

Q: What is the administrative hierarchy in the dataset?

The data follows the official four-level structure:
· kraj: Region (Top level).
· okres: District.
· obce: Municipality.
· c_obce: Part of Municipality (Local level).

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

The Czech Republic uses a 5-digit numeric postal code (PSČ), e.g., 76311. This is found in the psc column.
