AB: Slovenia has a population of about 2 million inhabitants who live on the territory of 20 216 sq. km; the average height of the territory is a little above 520 meters, the average inclination of slopes is over 25% and only some people live and work on heights of above 500 m. In the new Business Register there are registered about 150 00 business subjects that are of economical and thus also of statistical importance. All the social and business life is being held in about 490 000 business bildings and residential buildings. Slovenia has been setting up its register oriented statistics during the last 20 years. At present the National Statistical Institution (hereinafter: NSI) coordinates and in part also implements two thirds (2/3) of 430 titles of current statistical surveys. The NSI also indirectly coordinates the setting up and linking of emerging new administrative registers and some of them are being managed by the NSI as its para-statistical activity. Bearing in mind the many years of work that was implemented, such orientation facilitated that individual evidently closely observed objects (a person, an enterprise or similar associations, buildings, etc.) are adequately identified and are referential in their adequate analytical places (geo-code, socio-code, business-code, etc.) and are linked in relations (topology, ect.). Observed objects that are linked as mentioned enable mutual transfers of interesting attributes and also for actual analysis required attributes into various analytical places and among them and above all for multi-purpose use of data that are otherwise collected in various different administrative data bases and those data bases that are similar to them. Thus, Slovenia practically also implements the Recommendations on setting up the Geographic Information Systems (hereinafter: GIS) for the needs of national statistics, that were accepted at the ECE/CES conference in June 1995 in Geneva. The position of Slovenia is contrary to this and unfortunately Slovenia is still facing the task of rebilding its regions according to the Eruopean manner, as with the declaration of independence and the new constitution it renounced the old, out-lived and for other management suitable large communities (65). It modelled new europeanized communities where as provinces still have not been determinated. The national administrative authority is not organized as unity for all functions into a homogeneous unit and together in one district, but in quite different functional spheres. This is why the statistical Office is setting up an adequate basis that would facilitate us to make a rational and democratical determination on new regions as per the model and standards of the European Union. For such regions certain calculations should be made -- with the assistance of data, that are linked in such a way, and also the methods that are harmonized with the Union or were taken over from the Union -- regarding the regional product or the regional account within the system of national accounts.

AB: The purpose of the present paper is to provide a short overview of the products developed and the efforts made by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (generously assisted by the Swiss Federal Office of Topography) in the domain of thematic cartography, especially as regards developing productionlines of small-scale statistical maps. We belive that the rich collection of statistical data sets for Switzerland's 3 000 municipalities can be effectively combined with actual desktop-mapping procedures in order to visualize a large variety of statistical topics. However, it is important to develop systematically map models for the different map scales and for different dissemination purposes and to highly standardize the production procedures in order to ensure efficient production and stable platforms for the best possible presentation of statistical data. It is not in the author's aim to present a final solution for desktop mapping in the domain of statistics, but rather to provide some " results", to highlight some possibilities and restrictions which exist in the field of Macintosh based desktop

AB:: A challenge associated with developing large-scale Computer Assisted Data Collection (CADC) applications is maintaining consistency among instrument specifications, programs, output, and documentation. Additionally, large amounts of programmer time are required to produce CADC programs and other software for data manipulation. to address these issues, staff at the Research Triangle Institute created a system using a data dictionary approach with allows consistency to be efficiently maintained among components of a CADC project, while greatly reducing programmer effort. This system includes modules for developing complex CADC instruments, automatically generating the programs to perform the data collection, and producing documention of the data collection instrument and the data itself. A database known as the Data Dictionary is created to represent the entire data collection instrument (data elements and their documentation, display and data logic, and interface to external programs) as database entires. All components of the CADC instrument are thus accessible through various Data Dictionary user interfaces for specification, modification, and documentation. Rather than changing code in a data collection program and then later trying to remember to make the same changes in data specifications and documentation,one makes a single change to a Data Dictionary entry and that changes is reflevted automatically in subsequently generated programs and documentation. The computer program for the CADC instrument is produced automatically from the data specifications in the Data Dictionary by a program called the Code Generator. Using this method, modifying CADC instruments requires only changing entries in the Data Dictionary and then running the Code Generator to produce the update modules. The paper will describe details of the system's design and implementation, and its use in recent telephone surveys for the National Center for Education Statistics.

AB: According to the recently passed federal Swiss statistics law, partically all data generally contained in and analyzed with geographical information systems (such as data on points or areas of land, on person or economic entities to which a geographical location ca be associated) are considered statistical data. The traditional data producers of offical statistics, most notably the Swiss Federal Statistical Office, generte a variety of this type of data, but many other governmental as well as private, semi-privare and research institutions contribute considerably to the wealth of data already available. GIS technology is essential to administer and analyze this type of data efficiently and to present it comprehensibly considering its entire contextual and spatial complexity. The Federal Statistical Office maintaines with its GIS infrastucture a specialized users communications team which concentrates on data diffusion, advice and information in this field. Its GEOSTAT project concentrates on a federal GIS database of geocoded, spatially relevant data sets coming from various, mostly governmental sources. Some of its more recent data was derived from the last Swiss census of population and housing 1990. Through a process of geocoding each of the census' buildings, approximately 400 standard variables were made available at a spatial resolution of 1 ha within its geographical information system. Geographical information systems offer not only advantages for data manipulation and statistical-spatial analysis, but yhe processes and methods applied as well as especially the results and conclusions achieved can be perceived and understood not only by a few specialists but a wider public of interested scientists and laymen. Examples of comprehensible, even apparently simple results and products based on complex, GIS-assisted data processing and transformation, include the first detailed land use map at a national scale, visual and spatial presentation of the mentioned census results as well as combined analysis of census data with earlier established information on legal construction areas.

AB: Statistics Canada has relied upon Geographic Information Systems in its census collection operations since 1971 with the advent of the Geographically referenced Data Storage and Retrieval system (GRDSR) to facilitate geocoding and special areas retrieval of data. In the intervening years, additional applications have been brought on-line: notably, computer assisted mapping (CAM) in 1981, and computer assisted districting (CADP) of enumeration areas (EAs) in1989. These changes have been adopted in an evolutionary approach, a process of gradual refinement rather than revolutionary change. Through this evolution, Statistics Canada has moved from full development of its own systems to relying on commercial GIS-s for its systems foundation. Today, ARC/Info is the GIS at the core of most of Statistics Canada's geographic operations, with MapInfo being used for some attributing and boundary delineation (for example, Census Metropolitan Area delineation). Large applications have been written within Arc/Info using the Arc Macro Language (AML) for several key applications. A description of the applications and the refinements which have been incorporated into the 1996 Census follows.

Where legislation places an obligation on people to supply data, there is a corresponding obligation on the data collectors to maintain the privacy of the data. In addition to the requirement to comply with legal and professional codes, it is important to maintain public confidence that data relating to indentifiable individuals will not be released. Although censuses are compulsory in the great Britain (and in most other countries), if this confidence is lost, cooperation with the census will be reduced.

AB: At the United States Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau), we use the term "geographic support" to mean providing the wherewithal for two critical activities in connection with censuses and surveys: assigning individual responses to the correct geographic location; and classifying those geographic locations into the correct data tabulation units. Traditionally, three major tools have allowed the accomplishment of these geographic support objectives: maps, address references files, and geographic reference files. Census Bureau maps guide data collection, depict the geographic areas for which data are tabulated and, in some cases, themselves present data. Address reference files associate addresses on individual census or survey responses with their geographic location, or position on the earth's surface. Geographic reference files, finally, catalog the various geographic areas (for example state, county, census tract, and so on) and define their relationships with one another so as to allow the presentation of data by geographic area in an orderly, understandable fashion.

AB: Hungarian Central Statistical Office (HCSO, shortened as CSO) the authorized agency for making national and wide range statistical surveys and for publication, has many traditional identifications, searching and processing methods for the observation of the Hungarian society, economy, trade and other socio-economic flows. In lack of solid co-ordination within the departments that implemented agricultural, industrial, and population surveys, many different nominations and processing methods were implemented to identify the geographical position of the observed entities. In practice, several coding systems do exist within the CSO. This paper summarizes the developments and works that have been done to date, makes notes on the possible ways to set up geographical databases in the future.

AB: The first Norwegian population census was conducted in 1769. Since 1890 censuses have been held at the beginning of each decade with the exeption of 1940. The purpose and methodology of the Norwegian census has changed considerably during the last 35 years. While the census previously was the main source of socio-demographic information, it is today just one of several sources. After an identification number for each individual was introduced in 1964 and used in various administrative registers, the dominating role of the census has changed dramatically. For some years it has been the policy of Statistics Norway to collaborate with various governmenthal agencies in order to use administrative registers in statistics production. The use of maps and geographical information technology in connection with censuses has so far been limited to thematic mapping for presentation of results and for drawing boundaries between urban and rural areas. For the census 2000 geographical information tehnology is planned to play an important role for the first time. The purpose of this paper is to consider some geographical aspects, to give a status and a basis for discussion and further planning of the census 2000.

AB: The basic data collection and statistical building brick is the Enumeration District (ED) which has been used since 1961 in England and Wales. Aggregations of ED-s have enabled outputs to be produced for the nation's administrative areas and have provided comparability between censuses. The ED on its own longer provides sufficient flexibility for producing census outputs for an increasing variety of geographical areas or spatial units. More recently, moves are being made to develop an address-based planning geography and an output areas geography (eg. using groups of postcodes, similar to Scotland's geographic system). Postcodes were recommended as basic geographical units for the census, but it was considered too expensive for England and Wales in 1991.

AB: The General Register Office for Scotland (GRO(S)) has used postcodes as building bricks for the collection, processing and presentation of population statistics for more than 20 years. A postcode in the United Kingdom is a collection of addresses used by the Royal Mail for sorting and devering mail. Apart from special postcodes for addresses receiving large amounts of mail, there are around 130,000 postcodes in Scotland containing an average of about 15 households. Postcodes are well known to the public who supply our information on vital events and in the Census. GRO(S) maintains postcode maps a digital boundary file and a database. For this activity we need good relationships with the Royal Mail and Ordnance Survey (OS), the national mapping agency in Great Britain.

AB: Ordinarily census offices do not construct original maps that require complex surveying and highly skilled surveyors and cartographers, but they do use information from a variety of sources to produce maps for enumeration and publication purposes. Enumeration maps consist of individual EA maps, crew leader maps, field office maps, and central office maps. Publication maps are generalized maps of relatively large areas, such as the entire country. Some identify 1-st, 2-nd, and 3-rd order divisions and the location of important cities; other may show statistical data. The master maps from which enumeration and publication maps are made are called base maps. This chapter is concerned with compiling base maps for use in preparing enumeration maps.

AB: A major objective of the census, as noted earlier, is to improve substantially the area coverage so as to assure, as far as possible, the complete enumeration of all the population in the country. Attainment of this goal is sought principally by upgrading the mapping operation. In Popstan, the NSO recognizes that individual maps are needed to guide the enumerators in covering their assigned areas. The census planners also recognize the need for maps to serve as a means of control to account for all areas and to avoid duplication in enumeration. Finally, maps and graphs will have an important role in the presentation of census statistics. The aim of this chapter is to describe the various operations that contribute to the production and use of good maps for the 1980 Censuses of Population and Housing in Popstan. These operations represent a major part of the preparatory work for taking the census. The chapter discusses how the operations will be carried out and why they are important.

AB: Maps have a number of uses in population and housing censuses, but they serve primarly to ensure that all parts of the country are assinged to be enumerated and that the data are allocated to the proper administrative units. This is accomplished by dividing the total area of the country into small areas for individual enumerator assignments and instructing enumerators in the use of maps in taking the census. Maps are also very valuable in census planning and presentation and analysis of the results.

After some introductory Discussions in the working group formed for the production and in the steering group the suggestions stated in that report was in main accepted as guidelines for the actual production of the Atlas. This means in short: Computerised production by a Desktop Mapping Software; Schools as Target Group ;Focus on maps presenting the results of the 1991 Census; Regions as the primary level for presentation; Complementary presentation on EA and Urban area level; Some explanatory text shall be included; Size A4; Number of Maps should be 25-30; Printing of the publication should be in black and white and some colour maps; The contents and the overall layout should match the contents in the 1991 Housing and Population Census Report "Basic Analysis with Higlights" from December 1994. The Atlas are to be seen as a complementary publication to that one but with the regional level as the highlighted level. Following is a more detailed description on some of these aspects on the production of the Atlas.

LA: English

AB: The Purpose of a population and housing census is primarly to satisfy essential national needs for statistical data. Those needs are the main factors that determine the content of the census. Both the content of the census and the operational procedures undertaken to obtain the desired data can, however, be improved by studying the experiences of other countries that have successfully carried out censuses and adopting or adapting their practices to the extent appropriate. In addition, international uses of census data are important and a desirable feature of a modern census would be to increase the possibility of international comprability of census data through the adoption, to the extent possible, of the international recommendations regarding topics and their definitions. The international recommendations relating to a census are contained in the publication "Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses" (ST/ ESA/ STAT/ SER. M/ 67).1./ The objectives of the United Nations Principles and recommendations are: (a) to help in improving census operations and the utility of census results in national terms and (b) to increase, to the extent possible, international comparability. The recommendations stress the need for developing national expertise in census-taking so that accurate and usable data are collected and applied as input in the formulation of national programmers relating to the development and socio-economic sectors in such areas as population policy, housing, health, education and manpower development. The recommendations emphasize the importance of evaluation of census results and the need to modernize data-processing systems. Part one of the " Handbook of Population and Housing Censuses" concerns the planning, organization and administration of population and housing censuses and presents possible courses of action to render operative the international recommendations, which in the text are referred to as "Principles and Recommendations". The subject matters is presented in fourteen chapters. Chapters I and II, which are introductory, offer formal definitions of the census and describe its role in the national statistical system. Chapter III indicates the broad framework within which a census has to be planned. Chapters IV and V describe the basic steps that are necessary for establishing the census organization and the structural backdrop against which the census organization will have to function. Chapters VI and VII deal with the core activities of the census, including enumeration. The subject of chapter VIII, training and publicity, could no doubt have been included in chapter VII since that subject is so closely related to the enumeration activities. However, it has been presented separately for two reasons. First, Chapter VII would have become rather long and consequently fatiguing to read. Second, there are some aspects of training and publicity that are important for other stages of the census operations and those aspects needed to be included; however, their inclusion in the chapter dealing with enumeration would have been rather inappropriate. Chapter IX deals exclusively with data processing while chapter XII discusses publication and dissemination of data. These two chapters, though not in unbroken sequence, are interconnected.

AB: In common with other statistical offices of countries where a census is still the main method of collecting population and housing information, the GB Census Offices have to balance the rights of individuals to privacy with the needs of the state in order to obtain the necessary level of public cooperation to ensure a successful operation. Although censuses in Great Britain, as most other countries, are compulsory the adequate protection of respondents' confidentiality is clearly an imperative. In Britain this has been traditionally done by: stating assurances on Census forms and in publicity; legislation protecting against unauthorised disclosure of personal census information (Census Act 1920 and Census (Confidentiality) Act 1911); taking stringent precautions to ensure that the data are secure while they are collected from the field, processed in the Census Offices, and subsequently held in storage; and protecting against inadvertent disclosure in the census outputs by devising and applying such additional processing procedures as may be necessary. The paper concentrates on this last aspect and describes the precautions taken to ensure that census outputs did not themselves, or by linkage with other sources of information, have or appear to have the potential to reveal details about identifiable individuals or households.

AB: The 1990 census of Finland was entirely based on registers. Also the coming censuses in Finland will be register-based. In the collection of the census data there are clear advantages, when it comes to confidentiality, in the register-based census system compared with the questionnaire-based censuses. These are: (1) Statistics Finland does not need to rely on outside mailing and recording services; (2) there is much less manual treatment of personal data and (3) full personal data is only " seen" by the computer because data are processed in batch runs and the files are sequential files.The use of administrative data in the compilation of the censuses, as well as other statistics, allows a creation of extensive data banks which again allows futher usage of the data. The combining of different administrative registers gives totally new possibilities for obtaining answer to many researches questions but it also posses some very specific data protection problems. As the register-based system seems to increase the confidentality in the stages of gathering the census data and as the policy of Statistics Finland is that it is essential that the census databases are used extensively this paper will deal with the protection of privacy in the dissemination of census data, not the gathering. Especially the confidentiality precautions taken when allowing researches to take part of the data will be discussed.

The mesaure has been based on the concept of concentration of human activities as basic notion of urbanisation. Although this particular density measure has primarily been developed to categorize municipalities by urbanisation, it can also be applied to other types of spatial units. The measure is one/dimensional, is easy to implement and can be updated annually. In this paper the defination and operationalization of this categorical measure of urbanisation are discussed. Moreover, using a classification into five categories based on this measures, summarized results for municipalities and municipal census tracts are presented.

AB: 1. It is stated that some of the problems in producing comparable urban statistics are the lack of precisely defined user requirement, the lack of international consensus on and application of the definations and the lack of detailed, harmonized, georeferenced statistics in general. 2. It is reported on some work done at the European level to develop common concepts and harmonised definations. At present one is trying to define 'the city' on three levels: as local units representing the central, administrative (town, city) unit, as urban area, defined in morphological terms based on maximum distances between houses, and as urban regions, based on functional definitions. 3. As all these definitions are linked to the local administrative units where statistics can be made available, the critical problem for establishing comparable urban defination and urban statistics is the comparability of the basic administartive units. The situation for the countries within the European Union is that these local units shows a large variation in area and population, reducing the usefulness of an elaborate urban defination. 4. Some of the conclusions are that there a still need to analyse the user requirments for urban statistics, to develop more composite consepts than the morhological defination, and to develop the basic georeferencing of statistics to allow for more flexible definations.

AB: There have been many critics and few champions of the 1990 decennial census.Many claim that the count was not complete enough and the cost was too high. Our society is rapidly changing and the methods of counting the population that worked in the past are no longer adequate. The Bureau of the Census has embarked on a path of fundamentally changing the way it takes the decennial census. Virtually all fundamental changes under consideration for the 2000 census desing rely on the existence of an accurate list of residential addresses. Historically, the Bureau of the Census compiles a new the address list for each census, through combinations of commercially available lists, listing created by Census Bureau field staff, and various address list coverages checks. The cost and complexity of the processes used to compile these lists, as well as the duplication of effort between and among various census programs, has led outside interests and internal Census Bureau experts to suggest that the Census Bureau create and maintain a master list of addresses over the decade rather than prepare a new list for each census and program. for the 2000 census, the Census Bureau is building on its 1990 census address list to create a permanent and continuously maintained Master Address File (MAF) . This national inventory of living quarters will be linked to the Census Bureau's automated geographic framework called the Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) System. The existence of such a linked address/geographic file for the nation provides important opportunities for Census Bureau's research and demographic programs. For the decennial census alone, it provides a frame for sampling and estimation, a foundation for using administrative records, as well as a basis for developing a strategy of continuous maesurement for small area estimates.This paper describes the Census Bureau's plans to create and maintaining the MAF through a cooperative partnership with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). The planned systematic maintenance of the MAF will yield corresponding updates to the TIGER data base. The paper discusses the methodolohy for updating the MAF, using new address information to focus the TIGER data base updates, a plan for measuring and ensuring quality, and plans for incorporating information from local governments. The paper also discusses some of the challenges that lie ahead in understanding postal definitions of commercial and residential addresses, achieving accurate within structure unit designations, and the treatment of non-house number/street name addresses.

AB: Publicaion of census data is achieved by different means of dissemination. In the past years, these means have known a constant evolution. Generally speaking, there is a shift from paper support to computer readable supports. However, there is still an interest in documents on paper, because they are easily accessible to a big majority of people and can be quickly disseminated, which makes the support interesting for those data that do not rapidly grow obsolete.

Thus, Eurostat must be able to obtain all the national statistical information necessary in order to prepare Community Statistics and carry out the necessary analysis. So far, national rules on statistical confidentiality have caused a considerable loss of information on the transmission of statistical data to Eurostat which has made it difficult to prepare Community Statistics.

AB: The aim of the census is to meet as much as possible the need of information of it's users. One should not forget that a census is a costly operation. It is therefore necessary to determine exactly the national demand ( the demand of Eusostat is known beforehand) to be able to meet it at the lowest possible cost. One has to find a balance between these two notions.

AB: Finland has successfully transferred from traditional, questionnaire-based censuses to an entirely register based census system. The census of 1990 was taken by using population registers supplemented with other administrative records. The reduction of census costs and the elimination of great variatoins in census staff were the main motives to introduce an entirely registre based census system in Finland. The initiative came from the Ministry of Finance in 1980. The development and investment phase lasted from 1981 to 1988 and the costs totalled up under that phase were 20 million FIM.

AB: 1.The white Paper on the 1991 Census, Published in July 1988, started that the investment of time and resources in a national census is only justified if the results are made accessible to those who need them and reach them speedly in a clear and usable form. The output programme and arrangements for dissemination have been planned to meet those objectives, with particular emphasis on consulting census users on proposals, and incorporating their needs in the final output. 2.Users expressed a need for a greather number of analyses than in 1981. This increase was partly due to the additional census questions and partly due to their increased capability to use the information. As a result, the statistics from the 1991 Census are more extensive than those produced from any previous British population census. This greatly expanded output has been produced within the same overall timescale as for the 1981 Census. 3.In addition to providing statistics direct to users, the Census Offices have sought to enhance the value of the census by co-operating with individuals and organisations undertaking research or developing products which help others to use census statistics, and by entering into business arrangements with organisations to develop and market value-added products. This has enabled users to benefit from the most extensive range of products yet produced from a British census.

AB: The focus in the product policy of population censuses during the past ten years has shifted from publications to other products chiefly targeted to specified groups of clients, such as product packages and tailored special compilations as well as diskette and CD products accompanied by reading programmes which are produced subject to charge. The table packages for municipalities have become the main product of population censuses; the tables can be produced and sent immediately after the completion of data, the table can be sent in the form desired by the client and the data can be produced at a more detailed level, e.g. divided into sub-areas defined by the municipality.

Rahvaloenduse eesmärgiks on: saada mingil ajamomendil (loenduse kriitilisel momendil) rahvastiku ( alalise elanikkonna) seisundit iseloomustavad tõepärased andmed riigi rahvastiku-, sotsiaal- ja majanduspoliitika üldsuundade väljatöötamiseks. Rahvaloenduse tulemused jäävad baasiks rahvastiku jooksvale arvestusele. Vastavalt rahvaloenduse korraldamise metoodikale (ÜRO soovitused), rahvusvahelisele praktikale ning eelnevate loenduste kogemusele, on vajalik enne rahvaloendust korraldada kuni kaks prooviloendust (Eesti oludes -- vähemalt üks prooviloendus hiljemalt kaks aastat enne rahvaloendust 2000.a., seega 1998. a. I kvartalis.)

AB: ntud töö püüab anda hinnangu Eesti Rahvaloenduse infotöötluse mahule. Peab kohe ütlema, et ülesande lahendamine täna lähtub meie tänastest teadmistest. Infotehnoloogia on tänapäeval kõige kiiremini arenev valdkond. Tõenäoliselt on võimalused infotöötluseks aastal 2000 hoopis paremad kui täna. Sellest on ka antud töös lähtutud. Samas sõltub rahvaloenduse infotehnoloogiline pool sellest, kui hästi on lahendatud rahvaloenduse läbiviimise kogu metoodika. Infotehnoloogia on siin abistav, mitte reegleid määrav, haru. Kogu Rahvaloendus on väga üldisel tasemel kaheetapiline: esimene etapp on andmete kogumine ja teine etapp on andmete töötlemine ja analüüs. Rahvaloenduse andmete kogumise valmis süsteeme ei ole meil kusagilt võtta (osta). See tuleb meie tingimuste jaoks ise välja töötada. Kogu rõhk loodavas rahvaloenduse infosüsteemis peab olema fokusseeritud maksimaalselt täpsete sndmete saamisele. 1998 aastal toimuv prooviloendus peab loodud süsteemi kontrollima ja täpstama ressursside vajadusi. Antud töö on üles ehitatud selliselt, et kõigepealt kirjeldatakse rahvaloenduse infosüsteemi loomise põhimõtteid, millele järgnevalt antakse hinnang ressursside vajadustest.

AB: The recommendations for the year 2 000 round of population and housing censuses in the ECE region set out in this document were drawn up at joint ECE/Eurostat meetings on population and housing censuses convened over the 1995-96 period under the programmes of work of the Conference of European Statisticians, the Committee on Human Settlements of the Economic Commission for Europe and Eurostat. The conclusions reached by these meetings concerning the contents of the "2 000" recommendations for the ECE region (are expected to be) endorsed by the Conference of European Statisticians at its forty-fifth plenary session in June 1997 and by the Committee on Human Settlements at its fifty-eight session in September 1997.The Conference (is also expected) to authorize the publication of the recommendations in its Statistical Standards and Studies series jointly with Eurostat. The recommendations have also been approved by Eurostat for use as a guide by the EU countries. The recommendations for the ECE region were developed within the framework of the 2 000 World Population and Housing Census Programme, pursuant to resolution 1995/7 adopted by the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations on 19 July 1995. Censuses as complete counts are indispensable for providing statistical information on the population, labour force and housing situation on a uniform basis for small areas and sub-groups of the population. Sample surveys cannot fully provide equivalent data but they can Registers might be a valid alternative as far as they contain the relevant topics, definitions and classifications and cover the entire population, but for this to occur they must be legally and technically accessible for statistical purposes. The scope of the recommendations is limited to the following three elements: (a) a list of "core" topics which countries should cover in their censuses, and recommended definitions and classifications for each of the core topics; (b) a list of " non core" topics which countries may wish to consider including in their censuses, and suggested definitions and/or classifications for some of the non core topics and (c) a recommended basic tabulation programme, with illustrative sketches of the scope and contents of the recommended tabulations. The ECE recommendations do not cover in detail such questions as the definition and essential features of a census; the planning, organization and administration of a census, etc.

LA: English

AB: It is self-evident that geography is of vital interest to map-makers, statisticans and decision-makers alike. geographical differentiation drives much policy, whether it is in terms of the economiy, the environment, defence or much else: the very rationale for having a government requires good information, much of it geographically referenced. To that extent, the symbiosis between those responsible for the official description of the country's geography and those charged with collection geographically differentiated statistics is of great national importance. Moreover, its importance is increasing as information is increasingly stored in computer, rather than paper, from. This paper describes the roles and contributions of the UK mapping agencies and of the Office for National Statistics. In addition, however, the role of the Interdepartmental Group for Geographic Information (IGGI) is described since this makes an important contribution in regard to government's geospatial data. New developments in relation to the National Geospatial Database are also outlined since this involves both public and private sectors.

The focus is a review of the Basic Territorial Units (BTU) and how they are defined and used in the different Member States. Within this study framework is an overview of the current practices for geo-referencing small area statistics (also known as infra-regional statistics) and the methods for presenting the spatial results of statistical analysis are discussed.

PY: 1996

LA: English

AB: This document concerns the local area unit, its administrative and statistical definition and how the use and analysis of statistical data combined with administrative boundary data in a Geographic Information System is affected by the differences in definition. The document contains a problem statement and overview of the main findings in the Member States. In parallel with the development of the SIRE database, GISCO (Geographic Information System of the Comission of the European Communities) is constructing a boundary database corresponding to the local units used in the SIRE database. The final aim is to represent and use the SIRE statistics in a Geographic Information System. For the construction of GISCO's commune boundaries database the SAB:E (Seamless Administrative Boundaries of Europe) database has been acquired from MEGRIN. The SAB:E database is especially designed for the representation of statistics. However, the integration if GISCO commune boundaries database with the SIRE statistical database showed that, although both databases contain data on the same administrative level, not exactly the same definition is used. These observations mainly relate to the delimitation of the local unit and its surface area. Main differences are especially related to the handling of water bodies (coastal zones and inner water bodies). Often the area of Water bodies is included within the administrative limits of the local area unit, but is not taking into account for statistical purposes (especially in the domain of population statistics). Futhermore the statistical definition of surface area varies throughout the Member States. Some Member States provide only total surface area statistics while other differentiate as well between land and water surfaces. For the majority of the Member States the National Statistical Institutes are not in charge for the measurement of the surface area. It is the responsibility of the National Cadastral Institutes or National Mapping Agencies who deliver the figures to the National Statistical Institutes. The results of the use and analysis of local area statistics in a Geographic Information System is affected by these different definitions of the surface area. Obvious examples are the representation of statistics in maps and algorithms based on density and contiguity.
