{'north': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'south': [15, 1, 23, 37], 'east': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'map': [0, 7, 2, 0], 'village': [3, 1, 4, 12], 'west': [11, 4, 16, 22], 'meeting': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

In this type of question, the direction changes are given and one must track the changes accordingly. Initially, South-East becomes North. This shows a shift towards left of the compass. Hence all other directions will shift similarly to the left side.

Option 1 - North: The South will not become North as it was not mentioned in the question.

Option 2 - North-East: This seems to be the correct answer. Analyzing from the initial given change, south-east becomes north, similarly, south will become North-East as per the direction shift.

Option 3 - North-West: The South will not become North-west as the given direction change doesn`t indicate such change.

Option 4 - West: Again, South will not become West as per the given directional change.

So, the correct answer is North-East (option 2) as south has been shifted towards left based on the information provided.
