Hi there!
I've got a question about how to bring several bigger polygons which each contain smaller polygons together. They both have the same columns but the information they carry is on a greater level/scale.
Background: I have 5 Layers. 3 Layers with Nuts 1-3 Levels, and 2 Layers with Gaul 1-2 Levels (Global Administrative Unit Layers). I already split them up to continents to reduce their size. Each polygon (on whatever level) contains information about the count of x. So if I just map it as it is, it counts the occurence of x double, both for gaul1 and gaul2 for example.
Is there a tool in ArcGIS Pro, Geopandas , etc. where I can have one layer for each continent without loosing the information of the lower level? Right now I have one layer containing Nuts1-3 and gaul1-2, the Shape_Area & Shape_Length columns are only populated for the corresponding Level otherwise its empty.
And if that is not possible, how can I bring Nuts1-3 and gaul1-2 together? I do have the spatial information of both of them but sometimes gaul2 shows smaller polygons and sometimes Nuts3 and so on..
I hope this post is not too confusing... Thank you all for your help!
