Abstract

Spatially aware data classification for choropleth maps
Track: Cartographic Design
Authors: Christoph Traun

In contrast to commonly performed purely attibute based data classification using equal interval, quantiles or jenks approaches, the presented method explicitly considers the spatial dimension of data. This results in maps with less complex, easier to perceive spatial patterns.
Besides the presentation of the method itself, its practical application will be demonstrated using an Add-in for ArcGIS Desktop.
