Abstract

Locational and land use studies rely heavily on the availability of data. While one can argue that data are never complete enough to perform analyses, there is also a tendency to collect too much information (or at least collect irrelevant information). Data collection has been facilitated greatly by remote sensing devices such as satellites and computer-based data organization tools such as geographic information systems. With the technological advances in remote sensing and geographic information systems, the data collection effort can theoretically be streamlined. But they also underline a more urgent need to match data against information requirements, such that the relevant data are collected and that they are in the correct format and in sufficient quantity. In this chapter, we wish to review the data base that is required in facility location and land use, mainly from the angle of matching data with analysis requirements. Also included is the processing of such data to bring out the information in as useful a form as pos-sible for application-oriented purposes.

“Give me to learn each secret cause;

Let number’s, figures, motion’s laws

Reveal before me stand;

These to great Nature’s scene apply

and round the Globe, and through the sky

Disclose her working hand.”
