Ethiopia Admin Level 2 GIS analysis using GeoPandas # Ethiopia Admin2 GIS Analysis This repository contains tools and code for analyzing administrative (Admin2) boundary data of Ethiopia using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) methods. The project may be used for spatial data analysis, mapping, and geospatial research related to Ethiopian administrative regions at the second administrative level. ## Features - Scripts for processing, visualizing, and analyzing Ethiopian Admin2 GIS data - Example workflows for spatial data analysis (e.g., population statistics, mapping, overlay analysis) - Data cleaning and transformation utilities - Basic instructions for reproducibility ## Getting Started ### Prerequisites - Python 3.x - GIS libraries such as `geopandas`, `shapely`, and `matplotlib` - (Optional) Jupyter Notebook for interactive analysis ### Installation Clone the repository: ```bash git clone github.com cd ethiopia-admin2-gis-analysis ``` Install dependencies: ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt ``` Or manually install the primary GIS packages: ```bash pip install geopandas shapely matplotlib ``` ### Usage Example code to load boundary shapefiles and display a simple map: ```python import geopandas as gpd import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Load Admin2 shapefile (update the path as necessary) admin2_gdf = gpd.read_file('data/ethiopia_admin2.shp') admin2_gdf.plot() plt.show() ``` ## Data Sources - Ethiopian Administrative Boundaries - Other publicly available GIS datasets (please cite as appropriate) ## Contributing Contributions are welcome!
