EAD: Geospatial and Human Resources for Census and the Country’s Development Planning
Geospatial resources and technology play a critical role in the EAD process. Census bureaus use various geospatial and mapping technologies to create accurate and reliable maps of the enumeration areas. These maps help to visualize the boundaries and characteristics of the enumeration areas and make it easier to plan and conduct an effective census. Some of the geospatial technologies used in EAD include Geographic Information Systems (GIS), satellite imagery, and GPS technology.
