Directions in population GIS
This paper presents a review of contemporary population geographical information systems (GIS), highlighting the enduring connection between mainstream applications and traditional shaded area census maps. The review highlights challenges in underlying data collection, visualisation techniques and the representation of spatio-temporal data which have all been inherited from traditional cartography. Each of these areas is examined in turn to show how new approaches and technologies, emerging from several different domains, are coming together to offer some very different future directions in population GIS development.

Abstract

This paper presents a review of contemporary population geographical information systems (GIS), highlighting the enduring connection between mainstream applications and traditional shaded area census maps. The review highlights challenges in underlying data collection, visualisation techniques and the representation of spatio-temporal data which have all been inherited from traditional cartography. Each of these areas is examined in turn to show how new approaches and technologies, emerging from several different domains, are coming together to offer some very different future directions in population GIS development.
