SPATIAL VARIATION ANALYSIS OF LOCAL POPULATION DATA AND LOCAL HOUSEHOLD-SIZE DATA FOR URBAN MANAGEMENT IN A DECLINING POPULATION [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2022 In Japan, population decline is one of the important issues that need to be tackled in socioeconomic fields. We apply an analysis method composed of a spatial autocorrelation analysis to the local population data and the local household-size data ...
