Chinese Studies

This site provides a range of socioeconomic data, including GIS databases for China's administrative regions at a 1:1,000,000 scale. These databases can be integrated with agricultural, land use, environmental, and socioeconomic data to monitor economic growth, population changes, and environmental impacts in China.

"Our purpose is to identify and collect all the name variants under which locations in China were named in historical sources. In particular, this includes the amazing variety of transliteration systems through which Westerners designated place names (e.g. for Shanghai: Shang-hae, Changhaï, Schanghai, etc.). Of course, the main purpose is to enable users to find and locate any place name on a map thanks to the geo-coordinates attached to each location. The MCGS Search interface can be used to identify and locate place names. User can search place name individually or they can upload a list of place names as a CSV file. The search engine will retrieve any name, in Chinese or any transliteration system, and provide the geo-coordinates, along with the current name in Chinese and pinyin, as well as all known designations."
