Generating and mapping population density surfaces within a geographical information system

Cartogr J. 1994 Jun;31(1):21-6.

Abstract

PIP: Some alternative ways of presenting maps of spatial population distribution are examined using northern Leicestershire, England, as an example. The authors conclude that dasymetric and isarithmic maps are a desirable alternative and can be relatively easily generated using satellite imagery in a geographical information system.
