Unique Applications: 14. Chreod began to systematically assemble
statistical and mapping data on China at various
spatial scales in 1993, and by 1995, the firm had
constructed a small-area GIS for the Yangtze
Delta Region. This was extended to encompass all
11 provinces in the Yangtze Basin in 1997, 10
provinces in the Greater Bohai Region in 1998,
and Guangdong Province in 1998. Earlier this
year, the GIS was extended to all remaining
provinces in China.15. At the provincial level,
Chreod maintains every statistical yearbook since
1996 in digital form linked to its GIS, and all
of the provincial aggregates of data collected
from the First National Agricultural Census in
1996. This enables quick and comparative
analysis to be conducted for provinces.16.
At the small-area scale, Chreod maintains
two databases: one for every county/county-level
city/prefecture-level city (municipal boundary)
in China; and another covering all of the
country€™s 668 cities. The base year of both
systems is 1996; data updates for 1997 and 1998
have been completed, and selected data for 1990
and 1994 are available to conduct time series
analysis. All spatial data is georeferenced by
Guobai code (GB) from 1990 to 1999 so that annual
boundary and administrative status changes (e.g.
county to city) can be accounted for in
comparative analysis.
