Funded Activity Summary

Spatially Integrated Socio-Economic Analysis: Australia at the New Millennium. A new spatially integrated approach is used to analyse and evaluate the divides in Australian society at the new millennium, drawing on perspectives from three key disciplines in the social sciences - economics, human geography and sociology. Pathbreaking microsimulation and GIS based spatial modelling techniques are used to generate new synthetic variables by integrating ABS Census and survey data to enhance the understanding of patterns and improve explanation of differential outcomes in the well-being of both people and places. The new decision support systems we develop will better inform policy responses to address distributional equity, efficiency and competitiveness.
