Why do we use data captured at different scales?
Because that is the only source of data.

General rules of scale
1. Where possible use data captured at the same scale.
2. Work with data at the smallest scale.
3. Always be aware that the information produced is scale dependent.
![Page 22: This lecture covers five topics: 1.Scale, 2.Framework data, 3… · 2008. 8. 6. · This lecture covers five topics: 1.Scale, 2.Framework data, 3.Generalisation, ... 3. Visualisation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022063018/5fddcee05498b440ce70b734/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Exceptions to the general rules of scale
1. For some studies where the focus is on a spatial unit (i.e. aneighbourhood) then there is limit to the scale you cango down to. A good example is segregation studies.
2. For some studies the variability in the data sets a limitto the scale you can work at. For example working onclimatic change probably means the scale has to be large,in that the climate data has to modelled at a large scale.

Topic 4: Aggregation
Aggregation as opposed to generalisation
Aggregation is the process of moving to larger geographical unitsof space where those spatial units delimit different features.
The most common form of aggregation is moving up from theindividual to different spatial units of administration.
Example from Census Collection Districts, to Local Government Areas, to Statistical Areas, to States, to Countries, to regions, The world.

Hierarchical Structure Census Data

ASGC has 7 different hierarchies, all of which build up from collection districts (CDs)

Indigenous Areas. 3 different setsATSIC Region, Indigenous Area, Indigenous Location

Aggregation and the human ecological fallacy
The argument is that you cannot infer individual information from aggregate data.
Homogeneity of characteristics or behaviour cannot be assumed.
The reverse is also true, that you cannot necessarily infer whatis best for an administrative area on the basis of a set of individual’s behaviour.
