Geostat_Europe Project, Subproject 2(?) Geostatistics and maps

Objective of the proposal Background to the proposal Expected Deliverables and Users of the Results Phases of the work Organisations involved and their roles Expected costs and duration of work


Objectives of proposal

to develop an infrastructure for the compilation of small area statistics, to develop harmonised building blocks for small area and regional

statistics to describe and harmonise methods for compilation of small area

statistics to offer spatial statistics to meet the demands of the INSPIRE to develop common specifications for the production of harmonised,

comparable spatial data-guidelines on the methods for producing the data,-descriptions of the production process,-descriptions of characteristics of the final dataset,-guidelines on data protection


Background to the Proposal

Tandem project 2001, 2003: two major ways to compile grid based statistics

aggregation and disaggregation methods it may be possible to produce grid data for the whole of

Europe by developing and harmonising these two methods target: due regard to confidentiality, consistent and

comparable European-wide territorial population data on different scales and territorial levels.


Expected Deliverables and Users of the Results

harmonised data specifications (with due regard to confidentiality) for aggregated and disaggregated grid data

guidelines on aggregation and disaggregation methods specifications for the hybrid dataset a harmonised demographic dataset illustrations by maps on how to use the grid data.


Phases of the work

Work package 1: Data specifications for harmonised dataset

Work package 2: Solutions for data protection Work package 3: Disaggregation methods Work package 4: A hybrid dataset Work package 5: Maps (Illustrations)


Organisations involved

Statistics Finland: The interim leader of Subproject 2, member of the

Taskforce Statistics Austria: Member of the Taskforce

Statistics Netherlands: Member of the Taskforce

Statistics Slovenia: Member of the Taskforce Statistics Switzerland: Member of the Taskforce

EC/JRC: Member of the Taskforce


Organisation of the project Executive team: project manager and leading partners of each work

package A proposal for leading parteners: Work package 1: Data specifications for harmonised dataset, Statistics Finland,

Rina Tammisto Work package 2: Solutions for data protection, Statistics Slovenia, Igor Kuzma

Work package 3: Disaggregation methods, JRC, Javier Gallego Work package 4: A hybrid dataset, Statistics Netherlands, Niek van

Leeuwen Work package 5: Maps (Illustrations), Statistics Austria, Ingrid Kaminger,


Human resources and duration of workA preliminary estimation

13 staff-months of professional work divided evenly among the work packages, with one month added for administrative work:

WP 0 project management 2 WP 1: Data specifications for harmonised dataset 2 WP 2: Solutions for data protection 2 WP 3: Disaggregation methods 2 WP 4: A hybrid dataset 2 WP 5: Maps (Illustrations) 2

__________________________________________________________12

The duration of the work 18-24 months.


Expected cost

will be estimated after a consortium is established and project manager elected

a rough estimate 100 000 - 120 000 Euros


Next steps

establish a consortium; project leader, leading partners make a work plan, each leading partner involved integrate the work plan to the GEOSTAT project make an application for a grant execute the action make a report, results available via web inform, communicate, contribute (a plan for dissemination of

results)
