Spatial Disparity Analysis of Inner Mongolia Based on GIS

Abstract

With the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) techniques, twelve criteria indicating the county economic strength of Inner Mongolia are selected to evaluate an analysis and discussed its causes on the spatial disparity. In order to make the factor analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) is performed by the SPSS software. Conclusions concerning global spatial autocorrelation analysis and local spatial autocorrelation analysis are studied. Some significant graphs and charts are demonstrated according to statistics of the results.
