Abstract

In this paper a regionalization algorithm which groups spatial areal objects into homogeneous zones is presented. The proposed method is based on Automatic Zoning Problem (AZP) procedure which is extended to use the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) technique. The results produced are compared to the original AZP method. Both methods are applied into the classification of economic data in a post code level on the area of Athens.
