Taiwan

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

The dataset is provided in Traditional Chinese (e.g., "臺北市", "中正區"), which is the official written script in Taiwan.
Important: The files are encoded in UTF-8. You must strictly use UTF-8 encoding when importing this data to ensure the Traditional Chinese characters are displayed correctly.

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Taiwan uses a 6-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 100013, 100410), often referred to as the 3+3 Code.
· First 3 digits: Represent the administrative district (e.g., 100 for Zhongzheng District).
· Last 3 digits: Represent the specific delivery route, street segment, or large building.

Q: How do I interpret the '投遞段範圍' (Delivery Scope) column?

This column defines the specific house number range for the postal code using Traditional Chinese indicators. Here is a glossary to help you parse the data:
· 全 (Quán): The whole street.
· 單 (Dān): Odd numbers only.
· 雙 (Shuāng): Even numbers only.
· 以上 (Yǐshàng): And above (e.g., "單 149號以上" means "Odd numbers, 149 and higher").
· 以下 (Yǐxià): And below (e.g., "雙 48號以下" means "Even numbers, 48 and lower").
· 至 (Zhì): To/Through (indicates a range, e.g., "3號至9號" means "No. 3 to No. 9").

Q: Why do specific house numbers appear as separate rows?

You may see specific addresses (e.g., "23號") listed with their own unique 6-digit code (e.g., 100410), while the rest of the street uses a different code.
This indicates a large volume recipient or a specific landmark building that has been assigned its own precise delivery code for efficiency.

Q: What is the administrative hierarchy in the dataset?

The data follows the official structure:
1. City ('城市'): The Special Municipality or County (e.g., "臺北市" - Taipei City).
2. District ('区县'): The local district (e.g., "中正區" - Zhongzheng District).
3. Road Name ('路名'): The specific street or road.

Q: What file formats are included in the delivery?

The package includes CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and TXT formats. Given the use of Traditional Chinese characters, Excel is often the easiest way to view the data immediately.
