Maps and Spatial Data of Brunei • bruneimap

Provides Brunei GIS data in the form of a sf (simple features) object ready for plotting and analysis in R. The smallest (areal) unit of analysis is a “kampong” (although not all areas are actual kampongs), which in turn is contained within mukims and districts.

Installation

Install the released version of bruneimap from CRAN with:

install.packages("bruneimap")

Or, if preferred, you may install the development version from GitHub using:

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pkg_install("bruneiverse/bruneimap")

Features

There are three sf files contained in the package:

dis_sf (District level boundaries)
mkm_sf (Mukim level boundaries)
kpg_sf (“Kampong” level boundaries)

Most likely you will want to use either the kampong level or mukim level data.
