Non-Authoritative Management Zones for UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Myanmar

A 2020 polygon dataset of non-authoritative management zones for inscribed UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Myanmar, specifically Bagan and Pyu Ancient Cities. The dataset was digitized in medium scale by CDE Myanmar based on georeferenced, publicly available reference maps. It is provided by the Myanmar Information Management Unit (MIMU) and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Visualizing heritage site boundaries for conservation planning based on the polygon zone data.
• Conducting spatial analysis of heritage site management areas based on the geospatial features.
• Integrating management zone data with other geographic layers for regional planning based on the georeferenced format.

Strengths

• Data is provided in standard geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP) for interoperability.
• Covers two specific UNESCO World Heritage Sites (Bagan and Pyu Ancient Cities).
• Last updated on 2026-03-12, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
