A geographic platform for Official Statistics

GIS in Planning and AnalysisPre-enumeration

• Creation of GeoDatabase

• Creating efficient enumeration areas (EAs)

• Ensuring compatibility with previous census

• Optimizing site placement of field offices

• Optimizing capital and asset distribution

• Optimizing routes

• Marketing the census and educating the

public regarding the importance of being

counted

• Integrate Admin Data

• Integrate Big DATA

Field Work -Times Change!

Plan, organize, prioritize

and assign work

Plan

Coordinate

Receive assignments,

communicate status and

coordinate with others

Navigate

Get where you need to be,

optimize your travel routes,

use your own data

Capture

Conduct surveys, inspections,

collect new information and

document status

Monitor

Monitor the progress and

effectiveness of your field

operations

Integration of GIS in

Field Operations

Understand &

Communicate

Ensure data quality and

integrity, make better

decisions

Apps for the field – giving you power of location offline

GIS in Field OperationsEnumeration

• Field data collection

• Field data verification and quality checks

• Field operations management

• Workforce automation/optimization

• Optimized workloads and routes

• Monitoring of progress of census operations

• Real Time awareness of project status and workers

• Project management oversight and ID of trouble spots

• Updating or correcting enumeration area maps

• Quality control and quality improvements to base maps

Introducing New Techniques and Methods

• Incorporation of updates/changes

• Aggregation of data

• Tabulation of data

• Database archiving

• Creation of information products used to

communicate census findings to other

agencies and the public

• Dissemination of geographic census products

including maps, reports, atlases, and

interactive websites

• Marketing of geographic census products

• Outreach and education

• SDGs – measure, monitor and report
