A simulated ‘sandbox’ for exploring the modifiable areal unit problem in aggregation and disaggregation

Abstract We present a spatial testbed of simulated boundary data based on a set of very high-resolution census-based areal units surrounding Guadalajara, Mexico. From these input areal units, we simulated 10 levels of spatial resolutions, ranging from levels with 5,515–52,388 units and 100 simulated...
