1. Background
Thetraditionalroleofcartographicexerciseinacensushasbeentosupporttheproductionofenumerationarea (EA)mapsand thematicmapsderived fromavailablecensus information. However, due to recenttechnologicaldevelopments ingeographic information systems (GIS)andothergeospatial technologies,the scopeofcensuscartographyhasbeenextended to includeCartographiccensusdataanalysisanddissemination.Thecartographysection(nowCartographyandGISUnit)withinStatisticsBotswana(SB)wassetupin1992withtheaimoffulfillingtheabove-mentionedpurposes.Alltheseroleshavebeenachievedbutwiththeuseofmoretraditional,labourintensivecartographicmethods,especiallyindelineationofenumerationareas. However, with the new technological developments for census operations (which includes datacollection,analysis,presentationanddissemination),StatisticsBotswanahasbeenmovingfromtraditionalcartographicmethods towardsgeographic information systemsas thenew technologicalapplications incensustakingsurfaced.Forinstance,inthe2011PopulationandHousingCensusStatisticsBotswana(thethenCentral StatisticsOffice) introducedgeographic information systems forcensuscartography thatallowedautomationofcartographicprocesses.
The automation of cartographic processes reduced the number of cartographic operations such ascompilationofmap/data,draftingofmapsandfinaldrawingaswasappliedinthetraditionalwayofcensusmapping. There is greater flexibility in handling, processing and producing enumerationmaps products.Furthermore,theimplementationofGISincensus,improvedanalysisanddisseminationofcensusresults.Thedigitalcensuscartographyapproachisacontinuousanddynamicprocess.
Thebaseforthe2021PopulationandHousingCensusCartographywillbethegeospatialdatasetspreparedduringthe2011census.However,therewillbeimprovementsinthe2021censuscartographymethodologycompared to 2011, in terms of technology application as well as the details of features annotated onthecensusenumerationmaps, for example, the introductionof SmartCensusapplication. Therefore, thisdocumentprovidesthecensuscartographystrategyfortheupcoming2021populationandhousingcensusofBotswana.
2. Introduction
BotswanawillbeconductingtheNationalPopulationandHousingCensusin2021.ItwillbethesixthNationalpopulationandHousingCensussinceIndependencein1966.The2021PopulationandHousingcensuswillintroducemodernmethodsandbestpractices.StatisticsBotswanaasacustodianofofficialstatisticsandmandatedtocollectanddisseminatestatisticalinformation,hastakenadecisiontoemploySmartCensusforitspre-enumerationactivities(censuscartography).OneofthegreatachievementsisthecreationofaDwellingUnit(DU)Frame,whichwillbeanimportantnewadditionduringthecensuscartographyphase.Thisisthefirstof itskindinBotswana.TheDU-framewillprovideStatisticsBotswanawithdetaileddwellingsandlanduseinformationoneachandeverybuildingstructureinBotswana.StructuresandPointsofInterest(POI)willalsobesystematicallyandcomprehensivelycapturedintheprocess.TheDU-Framewillgreatlyimprovethequalityofthecensusenumerationarea(EA)mapsandrelatedactivitiesbeyondthecensus.
Asmentioned,StatisticsBotswanamadeadecisiontoutilizemoderncensustechnologiesforthe2021censuspre-enumerationactivities.Tothisend,theSmartCensussolutionwasadoptedforthewholepre-enumerationcensuscartographicmethodology.
TheSmartCensus isa total solution thatcovers theentire lifecycleofapopulationandhousingcensus.It integrates traditional GIS functionality with a powerful workflow and workforce management tool toprovideatotalsolutionforcensusstrategies:frompre-enumerationactivities,todigitalenumeration,topost-enumerationdynamicmapping.Itcanbeusedonitsownorintegratedwithanationororganization’sexistingGISinfrastructureorplatforms.SmartCensusalsosupportsstatisticsofficesbeyondthecensusitself,providingtheinfrastructuretoplan,performanddisseminatedataforpost-censussurveysatanyscalenecessary.

StatisticsBotswanawillensurethatcensusactivitiesareimplementedbasedoninternationalstandardsandbestpracticesforcensusmappingasrecommendedbytheUnitedNations.The census cartography is scheduled to commerce in October 2018 first as a pilot exercise of the newtechnology.TheactualexercisewillcommenceinFebruary2019.
3. Pre-enumeration Census Cartography
3.1 Justification–TheImportanceofCensusCartography
Thecartographicfieldworkformsthefundamentalcoreactivitytothesuccessofanypopulationandhousingcensus.Theprimaryobjectiveistodelineateenumerationareas(EA)inthecountrytofacilitatethecountingof inhabitantsduringenumerationperiodandfundamentallytoascertainthatallareasarecovered;thateveryone in thecountry iscountedwithminimalpossibilityofundercountingaswellas thecreationofamaster sampling frame for socio-economic and household surveys that are conducted during the inter-censusperiod.EnumerationArea(EA)mustbebigenoughforoneenumeratortohandleduringthetimeofenumeration.TheEAswillbedelineatedanddeliveredaccordingtheNationalGeo-Frame.ThedeliverablewillbeasetofA3-sizedEAandSA(supervisionarea)maps,hardcopyordigital.Afurtherimportantdeliverableofpre-enumerationactivitiesisthecreationofthegeographylayerthatisusedforenumerationplanninganddigitalenumeration(CAPI)aswellastheanalysisanddisseminationofcensusresults.
Theroleofmapsinthecensusistwofold:(a) tosupportenumerationactivitiesand(b)topresentaggregatecensus results in cartographic form. Advantages of the enumerationmaps include: (i) ensuring full andunduplicated coverage; (ii) estimating resource requirements (travel time and costs); (iii) assigning geographicalcodes;and(iv)establishingthenumbersoffieldofficerstobehired,vehicles,equipmentandmaterialstobeprocured.
Duringtheenumerationexercise,thesemapsareusedtoguidetheenumeratorstofindtheirwaywithintheenumerationareas.Enumerationareamapsalsoprovideabasisforproducingthematicmapsforspatialanalysisofthecensusandprovideasoundbasisfordevelopinganationalsamplingframeforintercensushouseholdsurveys.Thespatialcensusdatabasecanbecombinedwithotherdatasetstogeneratethematicindicator maps, which can be included in a Census Atlas depicting several socio-economic indicators

includingpovertyandliteracylevelsthatenhanceunderstandingofthespatialdimensionsofdiverseissuesinallsectorsoftheBotswanaeconomy.
Specifically,censuscartographyaimsto:
a. To delineate enumeration areas and produce maps used to facilitate counting of inhabitants duringtheenumerationperiod; b. Ascertain that all areas are covered and that everyone in the country is counted with minimal possibilityofundercounting;
c. Produce thematic maps for spatial analysis of the census and provide a sound basis for developinganationalsamplingframefortheinter-censushouseholdsurveys;
d. Estimatingresourcerequirements(costs,fieldworkers,vehicles,equipmentetc.),forthe PopulationandHousingCensus;
e. Produce a spatial census database for use with other datasets to generate thematic indicator maps to enhance understanding of the spatial dimensions of diverse issues in all sectors of the economy.
f. Ensure that EA maps easily guide the enumerators to their assigned EAs during the census period.
g. Effectively monitor the enumeration process.
3.2 Project Management Structures

4.4 Evaluation of the 2011 Population and Housing Census Cartography Theevaluationofthe2011PHCcartographyexerciserevealedthefollowingasproblemsencounteredduringtheexercise;
a. Maps were inaccurate in terms of labelling and caused more confusion among the enumerators. b. EAIdentification:problemsrelatingtotheidentificationofEAboundariesduringcensusenumeration.
c. EA size: some enumeration areas were too big to be covered by one enumerator during enumeration.
d. The black and white OPM covering the whole country was outdated and the resolution was not good enough for large scale mapping.
e. Data gaps: some areas were covered using sketch maps.
f. The manual numbering of dwellings and building structures caused a lot of problems during census enumeration. This is caused by legibility issues since they were hand written.
g. Unlisted localities and dwellings even in urban areas

i. Some images were cloud-blurred and could not be used in rural areas e.g. OMP
Theintroductionofthenewmappingapproach,includingtheSmartCensusmappingmodule,willaddresstheproblemsencounteredduringthe2011PHCcartographicoperations.Thefollowingwillbedone;
a. For pre-enumeration activities for the 2021 census, archived high resolution satellite imagery (25cm and 50 cm), topographical dataset, cadastral data (LAPCAS), line map data and 1.5m satellite imagery (AirBus) will be acquired to complement the ESRI image base map and to replace the outdated panchromatic OMP. The high resolution satellite imagery will be used for densely populated areas (fast growing) such as urban and peri-urban areas while the topographic data will be used for medium scale mapping in rural areas.
b. The cadastral data will be used for large scale mapping. This will provide an updated layer of all the land parcels across the country with a systematic numbering of dwellings and building structures, particularly in villages where there are no plot numbers. The 1.5m satellite image will cover the most remote parts of the country such as lands area, cattle post, farm etc. in conjunction with the topographic data.
c. The use of satellite imagery will eliminate most, if not all, of the problems encountered during the 2011 while the cadastral data will address the issues relating to the numbering of dwellings and building structures. This will contribute to the best possible pre-enumeration mapping and will ultimately result in better quality EA maps for the census.
4.5 Consultancy to Determine the Feasibility to Implement Smart Census
StatisticsBotswanabenchmarkedontheuseofnewtechnologyforcensusundertaking.TheuseofSmartCensussolutionwasdemonstratedtotheOrganisation’smanagement.GeoSpaceInternationalCompanywas invitedtomakeapresentationtoStatisticsBotswana inMay2017. Fromthepresentation it surfacedthat therearekey requirements tobesatisfiedbeforeSmartCensus solutioncouldbe implemented. Therequirementsareasfollows;
a. The need for a comprehensive and complete geo spatial database
b. Procurement of hardware, software infrastructure and addressing connectivity issues
c. Availability of latest and cleaned geo spatial data (imagery, etc.) and
d. Procurement of GeoMedia Professional (cleaning software) and training of staff on such
Following thepresentation, thecompanywascontracted toconducta situationalanalysis todeterminethefeasibilityofimplementingSmartCensusfor2021PopulationandHousingCensuscartographicwork.AcomprehensivereportoftheconsultancywaspreparedinJune2017andwastitled‘Short-termConsultancyonPre-EnumerationCensusmapping,StatisticsBotswana’.
