The Handbook on Geospatial Infrastructure in Support of Census Activities takes into account the recent technological developments in the geographic information area, which have been reflected in the recently adopted United Nations Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses, Revision 2, and puts into the hands of census planners and related personnel a technical guide on the contemporary methods, tools, and best practices that would support their census mapping operations more efficiently. An official copy of the Handbook is now available on-line and set to be published in print form soon.
