Territorial Divisions (WMS)

This webservice allows the Territorial Divisions product, which represents all recognised Belgian geographical units, to be visualised.

The AdminVector dataset includes the statistical, geographical and administrative units of Belgium.

The dataset of the judicial cantons and arrondissements displays the geographical units used for the organisation of the courts.

The dataset of the electoral cantons consists of geographical units used for the organisation of elections.

The dataset of the postal districts includes the boundaries of the Belgian postal cantons.

The link to the webservice is available under 'Access' at the bottom of this page.
