Özet	Dasymetric mapping is a cartographic and areal-interpolation technique that redistributes data reported for arbitrary administrative zones — such as census counts — onto more meaningful boundaries derived from ancillary information about where the phenomenon actually occurs. Instead of pretending population is spread evenly across a census tract, it uses land cover or land use to push people into the residential parts and out of lakes, parks, and industry, producing a far more realistic population surface while preserving each zone's reported total.	The spatial (or locational) Gini concentration index adapts the classic Gini coefficient to geography, summarizing in a single number between zero and one how unevenly an activity — an industry, a population group, a resource — is distributed across spatial units relative to a benchmark such as total population or land area. It is the workhorse measure for quantifying geographic concentration and agglomeration in economic geography.
