192 PART FOUR: TECHNICAL SERVICES COORDINATION SECTOR CHAPTER SIXTEEN STATISTICAL BUSINESS REGISTER
The Statistical Business Register (SBR) is a comprehensive list of all formal establishments operating in a fixed premises in the country at a specified time. Among others, it is used as a sampling frame for establishment-based surveys including Employment and Earnings Surveys, Foreign Capital Investment Survey, Sector Specific Survey, Hotel Statistics Surveys, Annual Survey of Industrial Production (ASIP), etc. It is also used as an input to estimate GDP, PPI, and Other Industrial Indicators.
16.0 Establishments
The establishment is defined as an enterprise or part of an enterprise that is situated in a single
location and in which only a single productive activity is carried out or in which the principal
productive activity accounts for most of the value added.
In other words, an establishment can be defined, ideally, as an economic unit that engages, under a single ownership or control - that is, under a single legal entity – in one, or predominantly one, kind of economic activity at a single physical location – for example, a mine, factory or workshop. This ideal concept of the establishment is applicable in many of the situations encountered in industrial inquiries, particularly in manufacturing.
16.1 Establishment Name This refers to the registered name of a Business or the name under which the unit does business. For small units, which do not have Business names, the name of the owner or one of the partners will be used. Names should be given in full.
16.2 Statistical Unit Is the unit of measure for which the required statistical information is gathered. Or is where the required information is collected.
16.3 Regional Code Regional codes consist of two digits that is 01 – 26. Tanzania Mainland has 26 administrative regions.
16.4 District Code The district codes consist of two digits confined within the district.
193 16.5 Location Refers to the smallest area where the establishment is located. In town, it consists of the street/road name, house number and the postcode. While in the village, the name of the village and the hamlet (part of a village) is given.
16.6 Area Refers to the name of the locality in which the establishment is situated. For instance, Kariakoo, Magomeni and Chang’ombe.
16.7 Business An organization engaged in production of goods, services, or both to consumers. It is also known as enterprise or firm.
16.8 Industrial Activity Refers to the economic activity of an establishment. It includes all activities as stipulated in the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC)-Revision 4. If an establishment is engaged in two economic activities, it should be separated into two activities as main activity and other activity.
16.8.1 Main Activity Activity of an establishment that contributes most to the value added for his / her business.
16.9 Ownership The state or fact of being an owner
16.10 Nationality The status of belonging to a particular nation, whether by birth or naturalization.

a name or title under which a person or entity conducts a business.
16.12 Persons Engaged (Employee) These are persons who work in an establishment with or without payment (during the reference period). They include paid up employees, working proprietors and unpaid helpers or family workers. This category includes both contract and permanent workers.
16.12.1Working Proprietors These are active owners of the Unit, they usually take no regular salary or wages, but earn all the profit resulting from their activity (partners share in whatever ways they have agreed upon).
194 All working cooperative members should be regarded as employees.
16.12.2Unpaid Helpers These are persons like members of religious institutions, prisoners, national service, militia and the like who work for at least one third of the working time normal for the establishment. They work without regular pay or any agreed amount of money to be paid for work done.

or annual balance sheet total does not exceed 1 million. Usually, not all microenterprises fall
under the informal sector.
16.17 Small Enterprises

195 CHAPTER SEVENTEEN GEO-INFORMATION SYSTEM /SPATIAL DATA
17.0 Introduction
Geographical Information System (GIS) is a system of hardware, software and procedures
designed to support the capture, management, manipulation, analysis and display of geo-
referenced maps and data.
The Geo-Information Section is already developing a digital geographic database, but a full
GIS is a very expensive and complex technology that needs to be implemented only at a level
appropriate to the skills and resources available.
17.1 Maps
Maps refer to a scientific and technical representation of physical and manmade features of the
earth's surfaces/land parcel onto a flat surface/sheet of paper with respect to specified scale.
A map is generally small enough to be handled easily, yet it can show a large area. It permits
a person to view at a glance those features that he might find difficult to see physically due to
limitations imposed by his/her size or his/her location.
There are many kinds of maps, each serving a specific purpose. There are maps that show the
location of cities and rivers. There are soil and land use maps, geological and topographic maps,
cadastral maps, navigation maps, weather maps, administrative maps, road maps,
transportation route maps, city maps and individual property maps. A map shows part or the
Earth’s entire surface. It shows the real world at a reduced scale; that is, the real world is
compressed into a small area on the map. The extent of reduction influences the kind of features
and amount of detail that can be shown.
17.1.1 Base Map
A Base Map is a map depicting background reference information such as landforms,
roads, landmarks, and political boundaries, onto which other thematic information is
placed. A base map is used for locational reference and often includes a geodetic control
network as part of its structure. A base map provides a user with context for a map. You
can add information to a base map by overlaying other information on top of it. Base
maps contain reference information that may provide different geospatial information
based on what the cartographer is trying to communicate.
17.1.2 Physical Map A physical map is one that shows the physical landscape features of a place. They generally show things like mountains, rivers and lakes and water is always shown with
196 blue. Mountains and elevation changes are usually shown with different colors and shades to show relief.
17.1.3 Topographic Map A topographic map is a detailed and accurate two-dimensional representation of natural and human-made features on the Earth's surface. The most distinctive characteristic of a topographic map is that the three-dimensional shape of the Earth's surface is modeled by the use of contour lines. Contours are imaginary lines that connect locations of similar elevation. Contours make it possible to represent the height of mountains and steepness of slopes on a two-dimensional map surface. A topographic map is similar to a physical map in that it shows different physical landscape features. They are different however because they use contour lines instead of colors to show changes in the landscape.
Topographic maps produced by the Tanzania Surveys and Mapping Division are generally available in two different scales: 1:50,000 and 1:25,000. Maps with a scale of 1:25,000 are relatively large-scale. At this scale, features as small as a single home can be shown. The smaller scale 1:50,000 topographic map is more of a general-purpose reconnaissance-type map.
17.1.4 Thematic Map A thematic map is a map that focuses on a particular theme or special topic. An example of a thematic map would be one showing the population change of Tanzania in specific locations from 1998 to 2012.
17.1.5 Census/Survey Maps Census maps refer to the smallest geographic area from which census/survey data are collected. They are usually called Enumeration Areas (EAs). The process of creating and marking EA boundaries on the base map is called delineation. EA delineation team does this work. The same team also designates the Supervision Areas (SAs).
Base maps currently being used by the NBS for creating enumeration areas are produced by the Surveys and Mapping Division of the Ministry of Lands and Human Settlements Development. The country is covered by 1:50,000 topographic base maps (about 1265 sheets). Other base maps include 1:2,500 maps used in cities and towns, 1:250,000 district maps.
197 17.1.6 Supervisor Area Maps The maps refer to an area covered by one supervisor during censuses and surveys. A Supervisor Area (SA) map contains enumeration area (EA) boundaries delineated on it. It contains information on the number of enumeration areas under that supervisor. The map is used by the enumeration supervisor in planning his/her travel to observe the enumerators and review their work and verify boundaries so as to ensure that there is no omission and no duplication of area.
17.1.7 Statistical Maps These refer to maps showing the spatial distribution of statistical data. The purpose is to present significant statistical results in terms of their geographic distribution. Thus interest in the current pattern of distribution and also in changes in the patterns that have occurred over time, particularly since the last census/similar survey is considered.
17.1.8 Point Symbol Maps Point symbol maps refer to dots or graduated symbols used in representing a certain value on the statistical map.
17.1.9 Choropleth (Shaded) Maps Choropleth maps refer to administrative areas colour shaded to present several classes of statistical data, such as densities, per capita, ratio of one characteristic to another, etc.
17.1.10 Isopleth Maps These refer to maps representing statistical data by a series of lines each connecting points at which a given variable has a specific value.
17.1.11 Online Maps Are digital representations of geographical areas that provide information about locations, routes, and features.
17.1.12 Web Maps
Are online maps created with ArcGIS that provide a way to work and interact with
geographic content organized as layers, they are shared on the web and across
smartphones and tablets.
Tablet: Is a mobile device, typically with a mobile operating system and
touchscreen display processing circuitry, and a rechargeable battery in a single,
thin and flat package. Tablets, being computers, have similar capabilities, but
lack some input/output abilities that others have. Modern tablets largely
