ANTA classification and compare applications for urban centres or localities

 

 Functionalities:

Zoom In, Zoom Out and Pan are functionalities that allow navigation around the Australia map. These three options centre the map at the point where a user left clicks with the mouse and change the map extent. Please wait about five seconds before another click.

Compare is a functionality that compare three UCLs on ANTA variables.

    When the user selects the Compare option, they then are asked to select three UCLs of interest within the viewable map window by clicking on those centres or localities on the map. Once the user selects three centres or localities they are provided with a drop down menu from which, for example, they can choose to display one of ANTA variables such as demographic variables, schooling completed, post-school participation, qualification level, labour force participation, industry, occupation, individual income, specialisation/diversification index or scored index of human capital.

When users select the State option, they then are presented with one drop down menu from which they can select one of the 7 states/territory, and it takes about five seconds to take the user to the selected states/territory.

Classification is a functionality that classifies data using Equal Interval, Quantile or Location Quotient (LQ) approaches for making graduated colour or symbol maps in about five seconds. The equal interval classifies the features into equally divided ranges of attributes values. In the quantile classification, each class contains approximately the same number of features. The LQ approach pre-determines the classes of LQ data into several groups such as: minimum value - 0.24 (76% or more below national benchmark), 0.25 - 0.49 (51 to 75% below national benchmark), 0.50 - 0.74 (26 to 50% below national benchmark), 0.75 - 0.99 (1 to 25% below national benchmark), 1.00 - 1.24 (up to 24% above national benchmark), 1.25 - 1.49 (25 to 49 % above national benchmark), 1.50 - 1.99 (50 to 99% above national benchmark), 2 - 2.99 (100 to 199% above national benchmark) and 3 - maximum value (200% or more above national benchmark). The classification functionality is useful to show the pattern and benchmark of ANTA variables.

 

When users select the Classification option, they then are presented with one drop down menus. If they select quotient variables from this drop down menus, then a benchmark classification map will be shown. If they select percentage variables, they then are presented with the second and third drop down menus from which they can select classification methods (Equal interval or Quantile) from the second drop down menu, choose the number of classes from the third drop down menu, and a classification map will then be shown.

It takes about four seconds to turn the classification off.
It takes about four seconds to display the name of each urban centre locality (UCL) on the map.
It takes about four seconds to turn the UCL names off.
It takes about four seconds to display the primary and secondary roads of the 1:1 million scale main road layer available from the Geoscience Australia.
It takes about four seconds to turn the primary and secondary roads off.
It takes about four seconds to display the full extent of the map.
It takes about four seconds to take the user back to the opening page. It is recommended that the user click on Restart button to go back to the opening page if the map display confuses the user.

Example of using ANTA classification on line

1. Left click your mouse on the Zoom In radial.

2. Move cursor to Victoria, left click your mouse and wait for about 5 seconds.

3. Left click your mouse again and wait for about 4 seconds.

4. Left click your mouse again, wait for about 3 seconds and you will be able to see most localities of Victoria.

5. Left click your mouse on the button. When you select the Classification option, you then are presented with one drop down menus. If you select quotient variables from this drop down menus, then a benchmark classification map will be shown. If you select percentage variables, you then are presented with the second and third drop down menus from which you can select classification methods (Equal interval or Quantile) from the second drop down menu, choose the number of classes from the third drop down menu, and a classification map will then be shown.

6. Left click your mouse on the button in order to display the name of each UCL on the map.

7. Left click your mouse on the map in order to change the map extent, wait for about 4 seconds and left click your mouse on the map again until you can read the name of each UCL.

8. Left click your mouse on the Pan radial.

9. Move cursor to the map. Left click and hold your mouse and then you can drag the map around. Release the mouse and wait for about 5 seconds and you will be able to see the change of map extent.

10. Left click your mouse on the button to display the full extent of the map.

11. Left click your mouse on the button to take you back to the opening page if the map display confuses you.

Example of using ANTA compare on line

1. Left click your mouse on the Zoom In radial.

2. Move cursor to Victoria, left click your mouse and wait for about 5 seconds. Repeat this steps five times.

3. Left click your mouse on the button in order to display the name of each UCL on the map.

4. Left click your mouse on the Compare radial.

5. Click on the first UCL and wait for about 3 seconds, click on the second UCL and wait for about 3 seconds, click on the third UCL and wait for about 3 seconds. Once you select three UCLs you are provided with a drop down menu from which, for example, you can choose to display one of ANTA variables such as demographic variables, schooling completed, post-school participation, qualification level, labour force participation, industry, occupation, individual income, specialisation/diversification index or scored index of human capital. .
