Data Considerations for Location Allocation Modeling of Public School Districts in Copenhagen
Computers on the desks of a large number of potential users are now powerful enough to run GIS tools for location allocation modeling. This task requires detailed digital data, often on the level of the individual person or household, in order to exploit its full potential for pointing out optimum solutions. This may be inconsistent with the Danish legislation concerning considerations for statistical "discretion," which implies that statistics should be computed on populations aggregated to a point where it is not possible to point out individuals. This paper discusses the following issues related to location allocation modeling of public school districts in Copenhagen: - Availability of relevant data and problems related to the combination of different data sources. - Network design: strategies for assigning relevant impedance values to reflect the movements of students and to incorporate "spatial objectives" other than minimizing travel costs (e.g., solutions that are "traffically" desirable). -
Strategies for data aggregation due to either lack of data or restrictions imposed by legislation. Are the results still useful?
