Wednesday 28 October 2015, London
This 1-day short course provides an introduction to open source
georeferenced population data from the UK and geodemographic
segmentation.
A mix of lectures and practical tasks equips participants with an
understanding on how to obtain and analyse small area data to achieve
a good understanding of neighbourhood characteristics. The course also
teaches participants how to conduct statistical segmentation
techniques in order to produce a composite geodemographic
classification.
The practical sessions will provide an introduction to downloading and
handling small area population data, and then proceed through a number
of techniques used to segment and analyse geodemographic
characteristics using multivariate population data. The final session
will also teach participants how to visualise their data spatially
using a geographic information system. The sessions will use open
source software (namely R and QGIS), although no prior experience in
these tools is required as a prerequisite.
