Repeated subdivision of land parcels in Jordan

53,656 parcels were carved out of parcels that had already been subdivided; the deepest chain reaches 11 successive subdivisions.

Subdivision chains rebuilt from the parcel history: each parcel's original parcel and the number of successive subdivisions.

In short

731,577 parcel-history rows reduced to 304,788 distinct original–child parcel pairs after de-duplication.

53,656 parcels were carved out of parcels that had already been subdivided; the deepest chain reaches 11 successive subdivisions.

3,495 basins contain repeated subdivision, and 86.0% of subdivided parcels have geometry in the parcel layer.

Method: what we add to the raw data

De-duplicating the parcel history (731,577 rows → 304,788 distinct parent–child pairs), counting successive subdivisions by breadth-first search from the first original parcels, and locating children by centroid and basin.
