| Review: |
MapInfo is used by students to examine rural development in Thailand, using geographical boundaries and various relational databases. Third year Human Geography students use CData91 (ABS Census data) to examine ethnicity in NSW, with a particular reference to Sydney LGAs. In their final year exams the students are expected to write an essay on their findings for a particular ethnic group in Sydney. |
