Areal
units
are
used
in
a
broad
range
of
demographic
and
physical
description
and
analysis
related
to
surveying,
reporting,
navigation,
and
modeling.
In
The
Modifiable
Areal
Unit
Problem,
Openshaw
(1983)
described
how
the
arbitrariness
of
an
areal
unit’s
boundaries
means
that
any
measurement
aggregated
to
it
is
to
some
extent
arbitrary
as
well.
Therefore,
those
who
survey,
model,
and
report
information
based
on
these
units
must
be
aware
of
their
shortcomings
as
models
for
describing
phenomena
that
they
aggregate.
Here
we
propose
to
test
an
aspect
of
the
Modifiable
Areal
Unit
Problem,
namely
that
the
boundaries
used
by
an
application
of
modeling
with
areal
units
are
not
homogeneous
in
their
relationship
to
the
phenomena
that
they
model.
That
is,
here
we
focus
on
the
general
problem
that
the
boundaries
of
a
set
of
areal
units
aren’t
entirely
arbitrary.
Boundaries
for
these
areal
units
specifically—and
many
others
generally—are
along
physical
and
social
features
of
the
environment,
which
may
have
an
internal
effect
on
the
phenomena
that
they
describe
as
homogenous
in
the
aggregate.
In
this
thesis,
we
use
real
estate
sales
data
and
assessor’s
neighborhood
boundaries
to
develop
a
method
for
describing
differences
in
the
effect
of
the
boundaries
of
areal
units.
It
is
hoped
that
the
methods
developed
here
could
be
applied
to
the
analysis
of
other
urban
phenomena
that
are
restricted,
afforded,
described,
and
modeled
by
boundaries. [-]
