Note that a field of population density is a generalization of a discrete object view, in which each person is a point, surrounded by empty space. This process of generalization is termed density estimation (*), and is an important function of a GIS. Somewhat confusingly, representations of fields must also be built from points,
This is a time of unprecedented opportunity for spatial analysis. More people than ever have access to the Global Positioning System for direct measurement of location on the. Earth's surface; to the products of high-resolution remote-sensing satellites; and to the manipulative power of geographic information systems (GIS).
information systems (Devine and Field 1986). Other authors, however, (Densham and Goodchild 1989;. Rhind 1988) have reservations about how well current GIS can be used in these ways. Many of the de?nitions discussed above are relatively general and cover a wide range of subjects and activities. All of the de?nitions,
GIS and spatial analysis have enjoyed a long and productive relationship over the past decades (for reviews see Fotheringham and Rogerson 1994;. Goodchild 1988; Goodchild et al 1992). GIS has been seen as the key to implementing methods of spatial analysis, making them more accessible to a broader range of users,
