Disadvantage of Raster data

  1. Difficult to represent: It is difficult to represent linear features such as accurate network linkage are difficult to establish.
  2. Vector Form: Most input data is in vector form, therefore data must undergo vector-to-raster conversion.
  3. Do not Conform: Most output maps do not conform to high quality cartographic needs.
  4. Large size: Larger file size.     
  5. Edit difficult: Difficult to edit.
  6. Difficult to build relation: Difficult to build topographic relationship.
  7. Inefficient projection: Inefficient projection transformation.
  8. Hard to Represent: Hard to represent objects less than cell size.
  9. Generates Huge Data: Finer resolution generates huge data.
  10. Discrete Feature: Highly generalized representation of discrete features.
  11. Limited interactivity: Limited interactivity 
  12. More primitive: More primitive analysis algorithm.

Concentric zone theory

Theories of City Structure-Concentric Zone Theory Introduction: The Concentric or Zonal Theory of urban landuse was first proposed in 1923 by E.W. Burgess. He was a sociologist. The idea behind the concentric model is that the development of a city takes place outwards from its central area in a series of concentric circles to form zones.  Assumption:        i.           Cultural & social heterogeneity of the population.       ii.           Commercial-industrial base to the economy of the city.     iii.           Private ownership of property & economic competition for space.     iv.           Expanding area & population of the city.       v.    ...

Sources of Water Mass

Sub-surface water masses formation is more active in the North & South Atlantic & the South Pacific & moderately active in the North Pacific. The sub-surface water masses is not active in the Indian Ocean because of its location in the southern hemisphere. The following arte major source areas of the origin of subsurface water masses-                                            i.           Norwegian Sea Area,                                           ii.           Irminger ...

Distinguish between Spatial data and Non-Spatial data

Subject Spatial data Non-Spatial data i. Definition Spatial data is a geographical data, the element of this spatial data are related to specific geographical coordinate & specific geographical attributes. Non-spatial data are unrelated to specific geographical location, this type of data generally related to a particular subject with which geographical location has no relation. ii.Geographical location Related to graphical location. Unrelated to geographical location. iii.Describe Describes the absolute and relative location of a geographical feature. Describes the characteristics of a geographical feature. iv.Forms of description This kind of data represents by diagrams, point, line, square, pixel. This kind of data represents by number. v.Example Location of river, Ground water extraction point. Depth, Height, Scale figure, Agricultural production. vi.Indicates Geographical location. Particular location. vii.Dependency It n...
