| Summary: | Cartographic presentation of heterogeneity/homogeneity in the spatial
distribution of population is still a major problem in modern geography, and
other geo-sciences as well. The traditional method of thematic or choropleth
mapping rarely gives satisfactory results. This paper analyzes the
applicability of dasymetric mapping method for the modelling of spatial
distribution of population. Although it is a relatively old method, it
becomes widely used following the development of computer technology, GIS
and satellite imagery, and its applicability is increasing in social,
economic and other sciences and disciplines. After showing the basis and
development of dasymetric mapping, the authors present possible application
of this method in the population distribution modelling of Vojvodina. |
