Territorial Divisions is the vectorproduct representing the geographical units of Belgium. The product consists of 16 feature types grouped into 4 topics: ‘AdminVector’, ‘Judicial cantons and arrondissements’, ‘Electoral cantons’ and ‘Postal cantons’. 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 cantons includes the boundaries of the Belgian postal cantons. The product can be downloaded in its entirety via the links in 'Access' at the bottom of this page. Each of the themes is also available as separate datasets on their own webpage.

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.

AdminVector is the dataset containing the statistical, geographical and administrative units in Belgium. This dataset consists of 11 feature types. The first feature type included in the dataset are the statistical sectors [statisticalsector] as defined by Statbel. The second feature type comprises the former municipalities [municipalsection]. They do not have an official administrative level. The next six feature types comprise the official administrative units, namely the municipalities [municipality], arrondissements [arrondissement], provinces [province], regions [region], and the borders of the Belgian territory [belgianterritory], including the borders of the territorial waters [belgianmaritimezone]. In addition, there are three feature types available in the form of point elements, namely the centers of the (former) municipalities [municipalsectioncenter] [municipalcenter] and border markers [bordermarker]. This dataset can be downloaded via the links in 'Access' at the bottom of this page.

Administrative units - current situation corresponds to the dataset of administrative units from the reference database for the land register data. Administrative limits are legally defined by an administrative entity or between two administrative entities. In Belgium, administrative limits as legally defined are fixed and can only be changed by a law, ordinance or decree. The General Administration of Patrimonial Documentation of the FPS Finance is named by the federal authorities as the authentic source of Belgian administrative limits. This dataset corresponds to the current situation at the time of consultation. It is composed of five geometric classes. The first class corresponds to the whole national territory. The second corresponds to the territory of the three regions, the third to the territory of the provinces, the fourth to the territory of the administrative districts, the fifth to the territory of the municipalities. The dataset is freely downloadable via the ad hoc WFS service.

In Belgium, administrative limits as legally defined are fixed and can only be changed by a law, ordinance or decree. The General Administration of Patrimonial Documentation of the FPS Finance is named by the federal authorities as the authentic source of Belgian administrative limits. This dataset corresponds to the legal situation as defined on January 1st of the reference year or to the situation at the specified date. It is composed of seven geometric classes (polygons and lines) and one class without geometry. The first class corresponds to the whole national territory. The second corresponds to the territory of the three regions, the third to the territory of the provinces, the fourth to the territory of the administrative districts, the fifth to the territory of the municipalities, the sixth to the territory of the Antwerp city districts and the seventh to the administrative boundaries in the form of lines. The class without geometry corresponds to the table of tax situations. The dataset can be freely downloaded as a zipped shapefiles.

CartoWeb.be is a Web Service (WMTS/WMS) containing cartographic representations covering 11 scale levels. CartoWeb.be offers a cartographic representation which has been developed specifically for on-screen viewing of the NGI’s most recent vector data sets. Three versions are available for the Belgian territory: 1) a TOPO layer containing a cartographic representation at all scales; 2) a TOPO-GREY layer, which is the symbolisation in different shades of grey and blue of the TOPO layer. It constitutes an ideal map background; 3) an OVERLAY (1:2 500 - 1:25 000) layer destined to be used as an overlay on other data (orthophotographs for instance). This layer contains the symbolisation of a few layers only. Two other layers, CROSSBORDER and CROSSBORDER-GREY, are available in order to allow viewing (only on the smallest scales 1:100 000 – 1:4 000 000) the European context of Belgium. The extent of this representation is limited and could change in the following versions. It is best to combine the CROSSBORDER layer with the TOPO layer. It is best to combine the CROSSBORDER-GREY layer with the TOPO-GREY-layer.
