EquiPop Maps Demo

"The GIS software EquiPop is developed for the assembling of segregation analysis data. The program is designed around the idea of the k-nearest neighbour wherein a user defined count of individuals (or something else) is to be counted from each point of origin. This means that rather than counting the number of people within certain administrative regions or within a predefined radius, the program collects the user defined count of individuals in the surroundings of each point of origin. In addition, the program counts the number of individuals belonging to a user defined subgroup. The ratio between counts of subgroup individuals and the user defined total-count of individuals can be used in segregation analyses.

Important information to the visitor = YOU!
The data that you can access from this page is distributed via a Geoserver that acts as a project test-bed and should NOT be considered as a production solution!
No pre-caching (or any other optimization) is undertaken which means that "first-time" access to datasets at a certain zoom-level might be slow until caching is performed (be patient and let layers load before clicking wildly to reload - caching will be done automatically which means that when you or anyone else requests the same data the response will be significantly faster).

Tech-note: Data is hosted on a Geoserver that serves both the GeoExplorer wms web client and kmz-data for Google Earth. PDF's are manually generated from ArcGIS/MapInfo.
