Two levels of small statistical areas Division

through the census
Census Number of Small areas Secções Number of Small areas Subsecções 100 Portugal Digital formal Street centerline Buildings
1981 ? Major cities ? Major cities No No No No
1991 13 705 106 626 Yes Yes No No

2011 20 000 400 000 Yes Yes Yes, with street names, door numbers and postal code Yes 4 000 000
10Small statistical areas
- Buildings On the census 2001 for the NUTS II
of Alentejo the enumerators marked on the census
maps the position and code number of the
buildings About 400 000 buildings were
identified in 2001The 2011 Census will identify
about 4 000 000 and cover 100 of the country
1/3 of the Portugal surface

14Small statistical areas
Census 2001 Geographical information
- Several large collections of
- Images
- More than 4 000 images
- Municipality maps
- 11 000, up to 15 000 scales
- Army topographic maps
- 125 000 scale
15Small statistical areas
Census 2001 Geographical information The
challenge
- How to publish this data on the web?
- Is there anyway to link GIS and the statistical
indicators database to produce thematic maps? - What is the more efficient way for downloading
the geographic information?
16- 2. Geographical information in the statistical
Portal
17Geographical information in the statistical Portal
About the Portal (in production in June 2007)
- Web application that Focus on the user needs of
statistical information - Access to information is universal, free and
without registration needed - Among the tools available on the website stands
out the statistical database, a dynamic database
that supports more than a thousand indicators,
and its on permanent updating
18Geographical information in the statistical Portal
About the Portal (in production in June 2007)
- Change tables, save and export
- Metadata
- on-line Surveys
- Subscribe RSS to receive alerts and updates on
data - And of course MAPS
- http//www.ine.pt
-
- Really simple sindication
19Geographical information in the statistical Portal
Census 2001 Geographical information The
Strategy
- Follow the K.I.S.S. rule (Keep it simple)
- Visualization, MapServices and point editing use
ArcIms or Map Server - Advanced Editing (polygons, lines), complex
database operations (link the Statistical and GIS
dabase) ArGisServer
Application Technology In production?
Download page ArcGis Server No
Territorial structure Visualize all data ArcIms Yes
Thematic map ArcGis Server Yes
SIOU Editing points ArcIms Yes
Censos 2011 Editing Lines and polygons ArcGis Server Yes
20Geographical information in the statistical Portal
Visualization page
- Territorial Structure
- Major goal -gt Browse ALL the data
- Includes some statistical information
- Make a selection or Identify the population,
number of families and households for each layer
and export it to xls excel format - Technology
- ArcIms
- In production
- http//sig.ine.pt
21 Visualization page
22Geographical information in the statistical Portal
Thematic Map page
- Thematic Maps
- Major goal -gt Produce thematic maps with the
statistical indicators of the portal - The portal identifies if a Statistical indicator
has a spatial representation. - The ArcGisServer application creates the map
on-the-fly - Some features
- The user can customize the maps, i.e. change the
number of classes, colors, the calculation
method, breakdown the level
23Geographical information in the statistical Portal
Thematic Map page
- Linking the GIS and the Statistical databases
- The application receives from the portal a set of
parameters that include Statistical indicator
code, time reference and spatial reference - http//maps.ine.pt/MapsPortal/default.aspx?VAR_CD
0000387V_DIM_1S7A2007NIVEL3LINGUAEN - with the parameters a search is carried out to
the Statistical database - Perform a virtual join on the geographical layer
with the result of the search

25Geographical information in the statistical Portal
Download page
- Download Page
- Major goal -gt Allow the download of subsecções
- Not a simple download link
- Most of the requests are for small areas like
district, parish - To avoid unnecessary traffic the user could
select on the map what he wants or make a
selection by attributes - Technology
- ArcGisServer
- Format -gt Zipped shapefile including metadata
- Not in production

27- 3.Map Services experience
28Map Services
Definition
- A web map service is a standard protocol for
serving georeferenced map images over the
Internet or LAN that are generated by a map
server using data from a GIS database - On the client side, these services can
- be used to access maps and GIS data through
- internet via desktop GIS or and application
29Map Services
Definition
30Map Services
Advantages of Map services
- Security
- The user only has access to a snapshot of the
data - Performance
- Delivering a small image (size on disk) , they
are fast and easy to use - Visualization of the data
- The map service enables the access to the content
of a map document Defines symbology, scale
ranges - Can be easily used or view in a Web Application,
or desktop GIS including most of the open source
Gis applications
