In Germany the Unemployment Agency uses a sectioning of the german map that
is different from the usual Administrative Boundaries.
Some demographic data are available in Administrative Boundaries only, some
in Unemployment Boundaries only.
I would like to generate estimates in one boundary system of data availabe
in the other boundary system, and would appreciate advice concerning the
following questions:
- can someone provide mapping functions between german Administrative
Boundaries (Kreise, Gemeinden, ...) and Unemployment Boundaries (Arbeits�mter)
OR
- can someone provide polygon data of Unemployment Boundaries and/or
Administrative Boundaries
AND
- is there a general function in R available to map demographic data
between two boundary systems
OR
- is there an efficient R function that can determine the amount of area
overlap between two general polygons (beyond gpclib)
I am willing to share developed code for this problem (that's why I would
prefer gpl code over gpclib, which is not really free)
Thanks for any help
