GIS database of the City of Zagreb census districts according to the population census of 2001

A census of population, households and apartments is the biggest statistical research, the aim of which is to gather basic information on the number, territorial layout, and composition of population according to its demographic, economic, educational, migrational and other features. For the purposes of the Zagreb City Office for Strategic Planning and Development, the Faculty of Geodesy at University of Zagreb developed in July 2010 the project “GIS database of census districts according to the 2001 population census”. The primary sources of data were boundaries of the city of Zagreb spatial units and data of the 2001 population census. The project linked for the first time the statistical with geometrical data in a single database. Considering the possibilities of data analysis, seen through visualization of different queries, the undoubted conclusion is that thus formatted statistical data linked to spatial data in a GIS environment offer a wide, practically unlimited, range of applications. Some of the possible database applications are strategic and spatial planning, urbanism, public utility actions, projects of social standard improvement, geomarketing, etc. A single and adjustable database model enables its easy maintenance and updating, which will be especially important after the new statistical censuses of 2011. Those data should be added to those of 2001, which will enable monitoring of the relevant urban trends in the City of Zagreb.
