Mapping of People and Places for Statistics

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Geographies aims to examine the relationship between geography and statistics in light of the increasing need for up-to-date data with high resolutions in today's world.

The ease with which geostatistical data can be produced necessitates a reflection on their reliability, accuracy, and validity.

In this context, the added value that geography can provide to both official and non-official statistics through the production of georeferenced data becomes crucial. Statistical data are intimately linked to territorial units, and are referred to as points, lines, polygons, or surfaces. Geographical analyses, based on scale, resolution, and the extent of the areas studied, offer various opportunities for integrating statistical analyses.
