In recent years the development of spatial referencing techniques
in com puter-based information systems has enormously increased the
opportuni ties that exist for the treatment and presentation of
both point and interaction data. The extent of this increase has
drawn attention to the need for special aggregation and clustering
procedures to be developed which enable data to be grouped in an
efficient way for analytical pur poses with a minimum loss of
detail. In the case of interaction data, economy of representation
is particularly important as the analysis is further complicated by
the two-way directionality that is inherent in each data set.
Procedural rules of this kind are needed not only for descriptive
analy sis and spatial accounting but also for hypothesis testing
and the develop ment of operational models of spatial interaction.
Yet the importance of spatial representation in this kind of
research has only recently been fully understood. The first
generation of urban development models that were developed in
Europe and North America during the 1960's often treated matters of
zoning system specification very casually, even though in some
cases this imposed severe limits on the interpretation of their
findings and it was not until the Centre for Environmental
Studies/Cheshire project (Barras et al., 1971) that a serious
attempt was made to put forward general principles which could be
used as guidelines in future work."
