The development is explained of a technique to generate 'modeled' surfaces of census-type socioeconomic survey data that offer the potential to overcome many of the problems inherent in the analysis and presentation of such data in conventional area-based form. Potential benefits of the modeled surfaces include a level of resolution that arguably can provide a more finely focused spatial basis for the generation of a wide range of spatial indicators that can aid public policy making. This type of application requires that the method is set within a flexibly managed information framework and includes suitable tests for the reliability of the generated surfaces.

为公共决策制定社会经济面。

解释了该技术的发展，该技术可生成人口普查型社会经济调查数据的“模型化”表面，从而有可能克服以常规基于区域的形式分析和呈现此类数据时固有的许多问题。建模表面的潜在好处包括一定程度的分辨率，可以为更广泛的空间基础生成更精细的空间基础，以生成有助于公共政策制定的各种空间指标。这种类型的应用程序要求在灵活管理的信息框架内设置该方法，并包括对生成的曲面的可靠性的适当测试。
