Cluster analysis of territories by the totality of ecological and socio-economic indices

Geographically distributed and time-phased ecological and socio-economical indices are treated as source data for the analysis carried out for taking reasoned management decisions. Analysis complexity related to territorial representation is overcome thanks to the GIS technologies usage, and the complexity related to multi-dimensional data is overcome by using clusterization methods. Combining "multi-dimensional" capabilities of cluster analysis with GIS technologies dramatically increases the amount of information extracted from the data.
