read_comparable_areas is not returning the right columns

[ariaker]

The data I can pull using read_comparable_areas is wrong. The table contains the columns code_amc, list_code_muni_2010, list_name_muni_2010, and geom. The columns list_code_muni_2010 and list_name_muni_2010 always contain the same information, and there is nothing about IBGE codes from each of the start or end years.

I have checked this for dozens of different year-pairs.

I am using the 1.8.1 version of the package in R 4.2.2.

I'm using geobr_1.8.1 in R version 4.3.2 (2023-10-31 ucrt) / Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) / Running under: Windows 10 x64 (build 19045) and the list_code_muni_2010 seems to be OK, but list_name_muni_2010 also return the codes, not the municipalities names. Data was downloaded on read_comparable_areas(start_year = 1970, end_year = 2010, simplified = TRUE, showProgress = TRUE) call.

Hello @ariaker,

I apologize for the delay response. During this period, we have been conducting several tests and making adjustments to our AMC code. As @fbrustolin-fep pointed out, in my results, I found that the list_code_muni_2010 seems to be OK, but the list_name_muni_2010 was incorrect. We made an adjustment in this column and also changed the column name to always align with the end year. So, if the end_year argument is 1960, the column should be named list_code_muni_1960. We will be uploading these adjustments soon.

Confesso que não entendo bem essa função... Ela não deveria retornar o código dos municípios no start_year e no end_year + código da AMC?

I also don't get this. I am trying to transform data from different years between 1991 and 2010 form municipal level to ACM's. However I only get columns "list_code_muni_2010" and "list_name_muni_2010" shouldn't there also be a column to map the data for the years in-between? E.g. how would I use this table for converting 1991 or 2000 data into ACMs?

acm <- read_comparable_areas(
start_year = 1991,
end_year = 2010,
simplified = FALSE,
showProgress = TRUE,
cache = TRUE
)

We will be doing some major changes to this data set and function. For now, this function is temporarily suspended.
