Abstract

This research examined the mapping and analyses of existing polling units in the study area to provide scientific criteria for citing new polling units. The attribute data of the polling units were collected from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Katsina State, and spatial data was acquired through field observation, for geodatabase creation and query generation. For the suitability mapping, seven parameters criteria were adopted. The generated thematic maps of these criteria were standardised using the fuzzy logic approach. The geodatabase of the existing polling units created showed 281 polling units with their attributes. Also, the suitability map showed regions of suitability and unsuitability. The overlay map showed that 10 polling units were in the region of highly not suitable, 16 not suitable, 26 fairly suitable, then the rest were either highly suitable or suitable. It is recommended that INEC should adopt a scientific method in citing subsequent polling units.

尼日利亚卡齐纳州卡齐纳地方政府区现有选举投票单位的测绘和适用性分析

本研究通过对研究区域内现有投票单位的测绘和分析，为引用新的投票单位提供科学的标准。从卡齐纳州全国独立选举委员会(INEC)收集投票单位的属性数据，并通过实地观测获得空间数据，用于创建地理数据库和生成查询。对于适宜性映射，采用了7个参数标准。使用模糊逻辑方法对这些标准生成的专题图进行标准化。所创建的现有轮询单元的地理数据库显示了281个轮询单元及其属性。适宜性图显示了适宜性和不适宜性区域。叠加图显示，10个投票单位处于高度不适宜区，16个投票单位处于不适宜区，26个投票单位处于相当适宜区，其余投票单位为高度适宜区或适宜区。建议选委会在引用后续投票单位时采用科学的方法。

期刊介绍： Survey Review is an international journal that has been published since 1931, until recently under the auspices of the Commonwealth Association of Surveying and Land Economy (CASLE). The journal is now published for Survey Review Ltd and brings together research, theory and practice of positioning and measurement, engineering surveying, cadastre and land management, and spatial information management. All papers are peer reviewed and are drawn from an international community, including government, private industry and academia. Survey Review is invaluable to practitioners, academics, researchers and students who are anxious to maintain their currency of knowledge in a rapidly developing field.
