Spatial analysis by grid data

n statistics by grids - geographical identifier is a map co-ordinate of a lower left corner of the square ( or a grid net)

n independent from political or administrative areas

n stable - areas do not changen evenly distributed - areas comparable

n flexible (scalability, portability)

n valuable from micro to macro analysis

n absolute values feasible (on thematic maps)

Grids

- statistics by grids

- geographical identifier is a map coordinate of a lower left corner of the square

- not dependent on administrative areas

- saatavana v. 1970 väestölaskennasta lähtien

Conclusions

nGIS a part of a production of statistics - not only extra services

n data services from raw data to refined products

n also customers who use GIS themselvesn from data products to customised services

n internet -might need new production -, dissemination - and pricing models

n confidentiality important-new concerns with GIS, electronic data, multidimensional tables, internet, - flexible services
