Eslováquia

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

The dataset retains the official Slovak column headers (e.g., kraj, okres, obec, ulica) and place names to ensure full compatibility with Slovenská pošta standards.
Important: The data contains Slovak diacritics (á, ä, č, ď, é, í, ĺ, ľ, ň, ó, ô, ŕ, š, ť, ú, ý, ž). You must strictly use UTF-8 encoding when importing this data to ensure names like "Banská Bystrica" are displayed correctly.

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Slovakia uses a 5-digit numeric postal code that is officially formatted with a space between the third and fourth digits (e.g., 974 01, 040 11). This formatted code is found in the psc column.

Q: What is the difference between 'obec' and 'posta'?

This is critical for accurate delivery logic:
· obec: The name of the administrative Municipality or City where the address is physically located (e.g., "Badín").
· posta: The name of the servicing post office (e.g., "Banská Bystrica 1").
In many smaller villages, the servicing post office is located in a nearby larger town. Therefore, these two fields will often differ.

Q: What does the 'c_obce' column represent?

The c_obce column stands for "Časť obce" (Municipality Part).
· In cities, this represents a specific borough or quarter.
· In rural areas, it may represent a local settlement or hamlet that is geographically distinct but administratively part of the municipality.

Q: What is the administrative hierarchy in the dataset?

The data follows the official Slovak administrative structure:
1. Region (kraj): The highest-level division (e.g., "Banskobystrický").
2. District (okres): The secondary division (e.g., "Banská Bystrica").
3. Municipality (obec): The primary unit of local government.
