DEVELOPMENT OF A SPATIAL DATASET FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE TERRITORIES OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN LITHUANIA

Summary/Abstract: The article describes the creation of a geographic data set for the administrative territories of the Catholic Church (hereinafter referred to as ATCC). There is currently no unified geographic data set for the administrative territories of the Catholic Church in Lithuania. The aim of the study is to contribute to its creation. The paper presents possible sources of data for ATCC, describes their types, and the digitization methodology, with particular emphasis on parish boundaries. The article also identifies six types of settlements that are ambiguously assigned to parishes. The suitability of spatial parish boundary data for analysis is evaluated. The obtained results are presented, and they can be further explored in a series of online maps. The created ATCC data set is publicly available and suitable for further analysis.
