Geographical Containers for Data [Dani Arribas-Bel](http://darribas.org)

Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (Openshaw, 1984)

MAUP

Scale and delineation mismatch between:

  • Underlying process (e.g. individuals, firms, shops)
  • Unit of measurement (e.g. neighborhoods, regions, etc.)

In some cases, it can seriously mislead analysis on aggregated data (e.g. Flint, MI!!!)

Always keep MAUP in mind when exploring aggregated data!!!
