Social science and the need for geographical referencing
![Page 4: Geo-Refer Geo-Refer: GEOgraphical REFerencing Resources for Social Scientists Samantha Cockings & Samuel Leung School of Geography, University of Southampton](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649ea05503460f94ba280b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Geographical referencing: examples• Link survey results to census data
• Produce shaded area map of census results
• Associate postcoded patient records to Indices of Deprivation
• Allocate questionnaire responses to urban/rural neighbourhood types
• Link admin records to different geographies

Learning needs
• Methodological vacuum: geographical referencing rarely included in general “research methods” courses
• Frequently needed by non-geographers but no obvious source of guidance (“phone a friend?”)
• Users often not able to articulate enquiries within a standard GIS education framework
![Page 6: Geo-Refer Geo-Refer: GEOgraphical REFerencing Resources for Social Scientists Samantha Cockings & Samuel Leung School of Geography, University of Southampton](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649ea05503460f94ba280b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Two recurring groups of tasks
• Data linkage (aspatial & spatial)– Record matching– Using geographical lookup tables– GIS operations
• Mapping– Point and thematic mapping

Geo-Refer project• On-line learning resources for social
scientists who are not geographers but who need to undertake some sort of geographical referencing
• ‘Intelligent’ assembly of materials: customisable to user’s research needs
• Re-usable, updatable, deliverable within multiple environments and portals
![Page 12: Geo-Refer Geo-Refer: GEOgraphical REFerencing Resources for Social Scientists Samantha Cockings & Samuel Leung School of Geography, University of Southampton](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649ea05503460f94ba280b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Geo-Refer and Geo-Refer2• Geo-Refer (Feb 06 – Jan 08)
– Created learning objects– Delivered general workshops– Gathered case studies & refined materials– Developed adaptive learning interface & database
• Geo-Refer2 (Feb 08 – Dec 08)– Adapt interfaces and workshops for specific
communities (census, health, local government)– Explore and demonstrate sustainability of resources

4-way categorization of content• Concepts
– e.g. the spatial nature of social science data
• Methods– e.g. creating a point map in ArcGIS
• Datasets– e.g. the National Statistics Postcode Directory
• Examples– e.g. linking and mapping out of hours calls to
GPs in Devon

Metadata/standards
• Objects coded according to 15 Dublin Core elements– E.g.
• Title (The National Statistics Postcode Directory)• Coverage: region (UK), time period (2005-2006)• Keywords (Link, Match, Postcode)• Technical requirements: software (GeoConvert)• Copyright (Yes; Athens)• Contributor: role (Author), organisation (UoS), date
(16/06/08)

The tricky bit …! Customised delivery specific to users’ needs
• How to understand users’ needs?• User profiling …
– “Speaking the language”– Knowing enough to articulate needs– Asking the right questions– “Leading by example”? – Learning from face-to-face experience, but
still very difficult …

How might this work for an individual user?
I’ve got postcoded survey responses: how do I match them to the census and map the results?

We need to create a user profile
Tell us about:
Geo-referencing operations?
Data, spatial units?
Dates – range?
Study area?
User’s location/affiliation?
Software?
