Abstract:
|
With the recent and rapid growth in GIS technology, this has become a powerful tool in the survey researcher's kit. GIS has been used for listing households, but maybe there is potential for additional uses. For example, GIS could be used to geographically stratify the population or, in some case, even geo-locate population elements, to assign interviewers, to monitor field progress, and to establish effective weighting groups. Furthermore, GIS could be used to more effectively present the data for easy user understanding and to even shed light on relationships between variables. It would interesting to discuss what uses are being made of GIS in current survey research practice and what participants see as the future role of GIS in survey research.
