Geographical information systems technologies for spatial visualization of statistical data

Dardala, Marian and Reveiu, Adriana (2011): Geographical information systems technologies for spatial visualization of statistical data.

Abstract

This paper proposes an original solution to present statistical data using the facilities provided by the Geographical Information Systems, to improve the means of statistical data figure and distribution inside the territorial profile. The proposed solution allows to represent more statistical data sets, on the same map, using two different methods of data representation: using a color ramp to represent the territorial distribution of an aggregate indicator and a set of charts overlapped to represent the proportions of the variables that form the indicator.
