    The Concession Has Been Subjected To Reduction(S) In Size Although It Had Been Cancelled Previously. Publicly Available Information On Land Area Cut From ELCs Does Not Include Maps Or Spatial Data Of Excisions. Thus, ODC Cannot Present Land Area Cut In Shapes.

    Downsized

    The concession has been subjected to additional reductions in size and has not been cancelled previously. Publicly available information on land area cut from ELCS does not include maps or spatial data of excisions. Thus, ODC cannot present land area cut in shapes. As a result, ELC projects that are visualized on the interactive map represent the original contract size.

    No Evidence of Adjustments

    ODC is not aware of any adjustments to the concession since it was first granted.

    Economic land concessions (ELCs)

    This dataset contains a list of ELCs in Cambodia with contract dates starting from 1996 to 2014. The list was updated in November 2017 to included adjustments to ELCs contracts as a result of the Directive 01, starting in 2012, such as land cuts and cancellation of licenses. Due to the lack of publicly available information, this dataset does not include information on reductions of contract durations as a result of the ELCs evaluation process in 2015. The data will be updated from variety of public domain sources such as the government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), research institutes, company websites, and news reports. Geographic data is encoded in the WGS 84, Zone 48 North coordinate reference system.
