National_Park_Boundary_centroids
This CSV file contains tabular attribute data representing national parks across Saudi Arabia, with a focus on centroid coordinates (latitude and longitude) for each park polygon. It serves as a simplified spatial reference layer derived from the full polygon boundaries and is suitable for integration with mapping platforms, dashboards, or attribute analysis tools.
Each row represents a unique national park, including its name, area, perimeter, and centroid location in decimal degrees (EPSG:4326 – WGS 84). The dataset can be used for visualization, spatial querying, and thematic analysis of protected areas.
Key Attributes:
- Park_ID: Unique identifier for each national park
- Park_Name: Name of the national park (Arabic)
- Area_ha: Area of the park in hectares
- Perimeter_m: Total boundary length of the park in meters
- Latitude: Latitude of the park’s centroid (WGS 84)
- Longitude: Longitude of the park’s centroid (WGS 84)
- Region: Administrative region in which the park is located
Spatial Reference:
WGS 84 – EPSG:4326 (centroids only, no polygon geometries)
Usage:
Ideal for use in lightweight mapping applications, spatial joins, and attribute-driven dashboards. Can be joined to polygon datasets using the Park_ID field.
