Understanding Human Geography
Track: Defense & Intelligence
Authors: Gwyneth Sutherlin

GSI has been developing micro level human geography data for over 15 years. In 2016, GSI undertook the conversion of its Human Atlas platform which was based on Google Maps and MSSQL to ArcGIS Online and a graph database developed using Postgres. This presentation will provide an overview of what Human Geography is, how it can be used to understand the structure and hierarchies in a society and how ArcGIS online in combination with a graph database has provided improved analytics.
