The modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP) The Modifiable Areal Unit Problem The modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP) is an important phenomenon associated with the use of data aggregated to geographical areas. It affects the aggregation of events, individuals or households and therefore applies to many variables of interest in the social sciences, including, for example, unemployment and ethnicity rates. In these cases, the geographical boundaries are 'imposed' in the sense that they do not relate in any meaningful sense to the variables of interest. MAUP refers to the fact that the observed aggregated values will vary according to how we draw our area boundaries. Figure 1: Total population in 16 areas Figure 2: Percentage unemployment Figure 3: Percentage unemployment aggregated to four areas Figure 4: Percentage unemployment aggregated to four areas Figure 1 shows the population count in 16 areas and Figure 2 shows the corresponding percentage unemployment.
News Detail July 24, 2012 In a recent ArcNews article, Esri's David DiBiase poses a simple, yet long debated question: Is GIS a profession? DiBiase claims that debates about the "rightful roles" of GIS professionals arise because their activities tend to overlap those of other geospatial professions. Making the case that GIS is indeed a true profession, DiBiase examines the distinct set of characteristics including advanced knowledge, specialized education, professional ethics, certification and licensure, professional organizations, and moral ideals that distinguish GIS professionals from those of other geospatial fields. Read the article: Return to Spotlight on Geographers Strengthening the Link between GIS and Science An interview with Kevin Butler about the integration of ArcGIS and SciPy Geography is the science of our world, and GIS is a foundational technology for helping us to better understand that science. To further strengthen the link between GIS and science, today at the Esri Ocean GIS Forum we’re pleased to announce the integration of ArcGIS with SciPy, a Python-based ecosystem of open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. I recently caught up with Kevin Butler, a Product Engineer with the Geoprocessing and Analysis Team, to ask him a few questions about the integration between ArcGIS and SciPy. Matt Artz: What is SciPy? Kevin Butler: SciPy is a software library that helps scientists, engineers, and GIS analysts perform custom scientific and technical computing. SciPy is not just one Python module but a collection of modules and is sometimes referred to as the SciPy Stack. NumPy and Matplotlib have shipped with the ArcGIS platform for the last several releases.
