Demography Definition: The scientific study of population, with a central focus on the size, distribution and composition of population, and the processes of population change. Essence of a discipline: • Substantive focus • Theoretical constructs • Analytical methods • Data sources • Core problems

Problems with Spatial Aggregates Ecological Fallacy: • Making inferences about processes at the level of individuals from analysis of data about the groups to which they belong MAUP – Modifiable Areal Unit Problem: • Aggregated values vary according to (a) the number of units into which a region is divided (scale effect) and (b) the way the boundaries are drawn (pattern effect)
Four Domains of Spatial Demography 1. Spatial differentiation • GWR, Spatial clustering, Moran’s ‘I’ 2. Modelling spatial diffusion • Event history, Multi-level regression 3. Location/allocation modelling • Thiessen polygons, SIMs 4. Areal estimation • Remote sensing, areal interpolation
