THE USE OF CENTROGRAPHIC MEASURES IN ANALYSING THE DISPERSION OF HISTORIC FACTORIES, VILLAS AND PALACES IN ŁÓDŹ (POLAND)

Journal Title: FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA - Year 2018, Vol 60, Issue 1

Abstract

The paper presents a proposal to investigate the distribution of historic villas, palaces and factories listed in the register of historic monuments using centrographic measures. Information about the monuments have been projected onto a map as points, which were analysed using the GIS tools in ArcGIS10.4.1 software. The study included the following measures: Spatial Mean or the centre of gravity, Spatial Median, Standard Distance, Standard Deviational Ellipse. This allowed a discussion on the validity of using centrographic measures for this type of analysis, and a spatial analysis of the distribution of the city's historic buildings in relation to its spatial layout and the tourist space, in which these monuments serve as one of the main assets.
