Schematic illustrations of population distribution modelling methods. The population of two administrative units A and B (with total population in A = 8 and total population in B = 16) are redistributed according to different population distribution modelling approaches (areal weighted, pycnophylactic and dasymetric). In the dasymetric method, a higher weight was attributed to the red hatched area.
