Demography Definition: The scientific study of population, with a
central focus on the size, distribution and composition of population, and the processes of population change.
Essence of a discipline:
- Substantive focus
- Theoretical constructs
- Analytical methods
- Data sources
- Core problems

Problems with Spatial Aggregates Ecological Fallacy:
- Making inferences about processes at the level of
individuals from analysis of data about the groups to which they belong
MAUP – Modifiable Areal Unit Problem:
- Aggregated values vary according to (a) the
number of units into which a region is divided (scale effect) and (b) the way the boundaries are drawn (pattern effect)
Four Domains of Spatial Demography
- 1. Spatial differentiation
- GWR, Spatial clustering, Moran’s ‘I’
- 2. Modelling spatial diffusion
- Event history, Multi-level regression
- 3. Location/allocation modelling
- Thiessen polygons, SIMs
- 4. Areal estimation
- Remote sensing, areal interpolation
