Why High-Resolution Spatial Data on Population Matters
1 like360 views
The document discusses the importance of high-resolution spatial data on population for location intelligence, highlighting the role of WorldPop in mapping population distributions and demographics. It covers applications in site planning and supply chain management, emphasizing the need for detailed demographic and socioeconomic data. The document also presents practical sessions for accessing WorldPop data and illustrates how such data can enhance decision-making in various spatial planning scenarios.

CARTO — Unlock the power of spatial analysis Boosting Location Intelligence with WorldPop data Site Planning Site planning is the process of using data to identify locations for opening, closing, relocating or repurposing sites - whether it be stores, branches, ATMs, distribution centres, hospitals or airports. ● Data come in different geographical supports, how can they be combined? ● Location Planning Analysts need data at high-granularity, e.g. demographic, human mobility, and socioeconomic data

CARTO — Unlock the power of spatial analysis Generate high-resolution socioeconomic data Carella et al., accepted to KDD Humanitarian Mapping Workshop https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.13152 ● Human mobility data are available at high resolution. ● Census data are typically not available at scales finer than Census units. ● Downscale key socioeconomic Census variables using WorldPop population counts and geographical data as drivers.

CARTO — Unlock the power of spatial analysis Boosting Location Intelligence with WorldPop data Location Intelligence plays a critical role in Supply Chain Management (SCM) as many of its processes have a very strong spatial component. Some examples of supply chain planning processes with a spatial component are: ● Strategic planning: Facility location, transportation and distribution network design ● Tactical planning: Demand forecasting, last mile distribution areas design ● Operational planning: Routing Supply Chain Management

CARTO — Unlock the power of spatial analysis Calculating Optimal Delivery Areas Based on Distance, Population Counts and DC Utilization ● Identify where there is more demand. ● Use a linear optimization model setting the following costs in the objective function: ○ Average distance traveled ○ Deviation from a perfect balance of workload in the DCs during the peak season ○ Deviation from a perfect balance of population covered by DC capacity
