Use cases of grid square statistics and their challenges

Abstract

Grid square statistics have been developed since the 1960s in Japan and are widely used for dissem-ination of official statistics. In this talk, we introduce grid square statistics and their compatible extension, which are named as world grid square statistics. We show some case studies on grid square statistics and explain a design workshop program for developing its use case and application software. Finally, we address challenges for con-vergent research that we face when we use, produce, integrate, and synthesize grid square statistics.
