Plenary Session 1 - Footbridge Theatre
Wednesday December 1, 2010: 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM The nature of spatial data and issues for socio-economic analysis and visualization Robert J. StimsonSchool of Geography, Planning and Environmental Management The University of Queensland Abstract The distributions of socio-economic phenomena are mostly uneven and typically are positively skewed. When those data are also spatial in nature there is an added complication for the analysis and visualization of such data. That arises through both the ‘spatial aggregation/disaggregation’ problem and the ‘modifiable areal unit problem’ (MAUP). These issues have implications for data analysis and modelling when using spatial data. In addition, in visualizing the distribution of a spatial data variable, the pattern it produces and its interpretation will be influenced by the method of classification used for map the data. The significance of these issues will be discussed and illustrated using data variable commonly used in socio-economic analysis using information derived from the census. Geographers and regional scientists have developed explicit methods and tools to help address those issues, and these will be discussed. |

Thursday December 2, 2010: 09:00 AM - 10:30 AM Benefits and Limitations of Cross-National Comparative Survey Data David DenemarkUniversity of Western Australia Australia has participated in a series of international survey projects since the late 1970s. The data are publicly available, so it is now possible for researchers to study a range of social and political issues cross-nationally and over time. David will discuss some of the benefits and difficulties in working with such data, and illustrate these with research that explores cross-national attitudes toward anti-terror police powers. |

In this presentation, I outline the progress of the archive to date and the opportunities it affords, while reflecting on the challenges encountered, including the reticence of the qualitative research community to embrace the archive on epistemological, ethical and practical grounds. |
