Abstract

Scale is a key aspect in spatial data science in both vector and raster data for further analysis. There is a clear distinction between vector and raster data. However, there is not a clear distinction for scale in vector data. This paper focuses on population differences between three national Finnish vector grid data scales, which have minimum population restrictions when used for further analysis. The results show that 440,320 of the 5.5 million population of Finland are omitted in the finest spatial scale and 8,825 are omitted from the largest spatial scale, which has negative impacts for future spatial planning.
