Some of the list members may be interested in this upcoming data visualization course by the National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM):
Title: Geographical Data Visualization and Geodemographics
Date: 9 March 2011
Location: University of Manchester
Website: http://www.ncrm.ac.uk/TandE/events2011/0309/index.php
Established cartographic design principles provide a range of novel ways in which information can be presented visually to the user. Using techniques of geovisualization, GIS provides a far richer and more flexible medium for portraying attribute distributions than traditional paper mapping.
This workshop will develop extended examples that deploy ‘geodemographic’ analysis – methods of simplifying the complex characteristics of urban areas into groupings of neighbourhoods sharing similar characteristics. The use of geodemographic information about neighbourhoods will be illustrated through numerous examples concerning the delivery of public services. Practical sessions will show how you can apply a geodemographic classification to your data, and how this can be visualised within a GIS.
Course fees: £30 for UK registered postgraduate students; £60 for staff at UK academic institutions, ESRC funded researchers and registered charity organisations; £220 for all other participants.
