Creating the vicinity of the survey area #37

Closed wese-da closed 6 years ago

wese-da commented 8 years ago

Proposed method: Create a bounding box (~20 km around the survey area) and extract all administrative areas that are within or touched by it.

it will be difficult to break down values on a sub-regional level. Maybe consider including neighbouring regions in total.

wese-da commented 8 years ago

That would be a good "first shot" I guess.

In the long term, we may have to consider the density of the survey area, meaning: The more dense a region / district / city is, the bigger is its catchment area.

Okay, after several tryouts I would suggest the following:

  1. We don't dictate any method concerning the creation of the survey area and its vicinity. Also, it's not always clear what the vicinity exactly is (how much space around a city / district do we need) since its size also depends on the study one wants to develop.
  2. At the moment, we have a hands-on method, meaning the user needs to define the vicinity him-/herself. I would like to keep this as default because it's the most flexible method I can think of.
  3. A possible second method could be "take all neighboring municipalities / districts / regions / ... as vicinity". Then we have a standardized method for the above. In my opinion, we need a vicinity matrix for that. Otherwise it would result in repetitive computations of neighboring regions per scenario generation.

This issue might be deprecated once we have a graphic web interface, but I would like to solve it for the command line tool.

would be nice to have this in future -> master thesis
