Hello List Members! One of the research groups I am working with is about to pick several 2X2 sq. km. units for study of the urban form. We are trying to find out whether there are some kind of GIS or Cartography-based guidelines for making such selections. Things that come to mind intuitively are: * make the unit as similar in shape to statistical units of the area as possible * make the unit to fit into some grid that would ensure matching of their boundaries, should more of these units be studied in the future * make the units having in mind only characteristics of the area and no GIS/Cartographic concerns If you know of any work that has been done in this area I will greatly appreciate your help. Yours sincerely P.G. -- ********************************************* Peter Gozdyra =================== Research Associate Dpt. of Geography and Planning, U. of Toronto ------------------- 100 St. George St., Toronto, ON, M5S 3G3 Room 617A - Cartography Office (416)978-3378, fax: (416)946-3886 =================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
