Demographic Analysis with ArcGIS: Geostatistics Workshop
2:00 - 4:00 pm, June 18, 2008 Gasson 9
The focus of this workshop will be on the use of ArcGIS to analyze demographic data. The session will highlight GIS data available for research and include demonstrations of ArcGIS using cases based on Census and related data. Most Census data are available for many levels of geography, including states, counties, cities and towns, ZIP codes, census tracts and blocks.
Census data and GIS applications are used by community planners, marketing, managers, scientists and researchers in education, economists, sociologists, social workers, health care managers, librarians, and data administrators.
International population data are available also to address demographic issues in a specific country, at regional or at global scale. We will discuss these resources with those interested. No prior knowledge of ArcGIS is required.
Barbara Mento and Constantin Andronache
