Geotagging of Missing Building Points from Processed Post-Census Maps and EA Delineation for the Development of

EARF for the 2022 CAF

CHAPTER 2: DUTIES AND

RESPONSIBILTIES OF PERSONNEL
INVOLVED
This chapter focuses on the specific duties and responsibilities of the PSA
personnel involved in the Geotagging of Missing Building Points from Processed
Post-Census Maps and EA Delineation for the Development of Enumeration Area
Reference File (EARF) for the 2022 Census of Agriculture and Fisheries (2022 CAF).
The person/s specified for these duties are expected to perform and carry out their tasks
efficiently and effectively for the duration of the activity.
Following the conduct of the post-processing activities in the field offices, this
undertaking will directly involve the Map Data Processor (MDP), Map Data Verifier
(MDV), and Map Data Reviewer (MDR). The roles of the aforementioned personnel will
be fundamental to the geo-tagging, pre-processing, field validation, post-processing, and
evaluation activities upon which shall be conducted under the supervision of the Regional
Focal Person (RFP) for Mapping, Provincial Focal Person (PFP) for Mapping, Chief
Statistical Specialist (CSS), and Statistical Operations Coordination Division
(SOCD) Head in the respective regions and provinces.
The MDPs, MDVs, and MDRs are the key personnel as they will all be essentially
involved in the entirety of this undertaking. This activity will cover the geo-tagging of
missing buildings covered in the 2020 CPH Forms 2 and 3, delineation of
Enumeration Areas (EAs), and preparation of block maps. The data collected from
the field will be integrated to the current PSA GIS-based census maps.
The output from this activity will depend highly on the ability of these personnel to
conduct each of their assigned tasks and duties.
All of the specific duties and responsibilities of the MDPs, MDVs, MDRs, and other
provincial, regional, or central office personnel directly involved in this activity are stated
in this chapter.
