Description

A national eInfrastructure for high-resolution population spatial modelling. Research at a meaningful spatial scale is hampered by privacy requirements and the use of administrative spatial units which prevent analysis at the address level and forces the use of spatial units which aggregate the results, mask spatial patterning, hindering local understanding. This proposal will: • build a digital twin Australian Synthetic Population on the Geocoded National Address File (GNAF). • link built environmental features to the GNAF. • build spatially detailed ARIA indices for Health and Wellbeing. Open access to these data eInfrastructure will improve modelling, policy and decision making across all levels of government and open a new level of understanding in how the environment helps shape the Australian population.. Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 1117 - Public Health and Health Services. Lead: Prof Neil Coffee
