Abstract

The increasing availability of geocoded (geotagged) data opens up many new possibilities for the evaluation of regional labour market research. In conjunction with the launch of a new geographic information system (GIS), the project will develop  those research potentials by tackling issues of data availability, data protection, IT, methodologies and knowledge transfer. In addition to this pilot project, the new geodata and GIS will be applied in research projects and political advice. The experience gained there will in turn feed into the further GeoData project work.
