Abstract
Desktop and Internet GIS Development for Spatial Segregation AnalysisTrack: Application Development
Author(s): David W. Wong
Several geographical measures of segregation have been introduced in the past decade. Because they require certain types of spatial information in their formulations, it is natural to incorporate these spatial measures in a GIS environment. This paper documents an effort in using Avenue scripts in ArcView to implement a set of spatial segregation measures. The results of this development (project files) are available for researchers and practitioners. In addition, segregation is often a concern of local communities. Given the spread access to the Internet, tools and data for analyzing spatial segregation are made accessible to the public through Internet GIS.
