Automated Census System for Densely Inhabited Districts
Tadashi OoishiTakashi Nanaumi , Yoshiyuki Takei, Akihito Yamauchi
Japan has been applying densely inhabited districts (DIDs) as an urbanization index considering peoples' living environment. DIDs serve the criteria for the government's supporting-budget allocation to the local authorities. However, until the past few years, the census was a manual statistical calculation that was time-consuming and cumbersome. The necessity was realized by the Management and Coordination Agency of Japan to develop a system for the automatic compilation of census statistics for DIDs. Pasco developed an automated system based on ArcInfo to perform iterative calculations for population density rankings utilizing the extracted normalized population density for the whole country.
