Abstract

Spatial data presented as tables has great analytic potential, even so it don’t communicate spatial dynamics. In this sense, the contribution of the thematic cartography is very important. The classification of data for cartographic representation results in generalization and loss of detail. In this work, a series of statistical methods of classification of data for the construction of coroplethic maps are analysed and its resources or restrictions in the cartographic construction are exposed. Key words: Classification of data; quantification in geography; thematic cartography; temporal analysis in cartography.
