Georeferenced data as a tool for monitoring the concentration of population in Finland in 1970–1998

Changes in the distribution of population in Finland over the period 1970–1998 are examined in terms of a co-ordinate system of 1 x 1 km grid cells. The results indicate that this system provides suitable areal units for a variety of statistical and GIS methods aimed at describing and explaining th...
