Abstract

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been widely used for the storage and management of territorial information, being especially useful for the analysis and verification of previously formulated hypotheses and coexisting with relevant spatial components. There are heuristic methodologies that, in contexts such as the present one, of data over-abundance, allow showing their coherence, not necessarily requiring hypotheses or previous formulations to generate knowledge. The combined use of (i) Artificial Intelligence techniques such as the Artificial Neural Network (ANN), namely the Self-Organized Maps (SOM), is proposed. They are very effective and robust by classifying and characterizing profiles in the data. They interact with (ii) machine learning techniques such as decision trees, which are singularly functional in the creation of predictive and interpretable models, with the intention of formulating explanatory hypotheses of the previous profiles, working with other different variables. The research proposes the combination of GIS, SOM and decision trees for the construction of explanatory models of the demographic and social profiles of Andalusia, based on low cost data on the residential dimension. The feasibility of such predictive models and their great value for understanding and as decision support on such territories are evaluated satisfactorily.

Keywords: GIS, decision tree, DSS, self-organizing map, SOM.
