About

The creation of spatial maps has become a valuable tool for researchers interested in both the spatial data visualization and the identification of geographical patterns in the data. This course therefore, offers an introduction to the mapping techniques currently available in Stata 18 for visualization of geospatial data. The workshop opens with an overview of the peculiar characteristics of geospatial data, the implications of such for the analysis of such data and an overview of the special terminology used in this field, before moving on to discuss the concept of spatial proximity and its relevance to the visualization of spatial data analysis.

The remainder of the workshop is dedicated to the principle mapping techniques, using a combination of both official Stata 18 commands and a series of user written commands, currently adopted to visualize geospatial data in Stata. Participants will learn how to import geospatial data shapefiles in Stata and merge them with their existing Stata databases in order to create, compare and customize different mapping techniques.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to autonomously implement (with the help of the Stata routine templates specifically developed for the workshop) the appropriate mapping methods, given both the nature of their spatial data and the analysis in hand, within their own research.

Target group

This course is of particular interest for criminologists, social psychologists, sociologists, economists, epidemiologists and political scientists seeking to acquire the requisite tools required for the exploration and visualisation of spatial data in Stata.
