Explanation:

.1 The Concept of Spatial Distribution

One of the major results of a population census is the insight it provides into the patterns of population

settlement across the country. This chapter examines the spatial distribution of the population of

Cambodia as revealed by the 2008 Census of Cambodia.

Data on distribution of population among the administrative areas are useful for several purposes. They

generally form the basis for determining the electoral constituencies. They are useful in connection with

social economic and administrative planning and provide basic data for making population projections.

The concepts of population distribution and density are so closely related to each other that it would be

appropriate to discuss them in the same chapter. However the two concepts are different, as distribution

is based on location while density is a ratio. Population distribution denotes the spatial pattern due to

dispersal of population, formation of agglomeration, linear spread etc. Population density is the ratio of

people to physical space. It shows the relationship between a population and the size of the area in

which it lives.

Of the several methods of describing the spatial distribution of population the simplest way is

percentage distribution of population over the geographical areas. Another methodology usually adopted

is to list the geographical areas of a given class into rank order which enables comparison of ranking

from census to census. This provides changes in population trends over time. There are also other

methods which are generally used to study population distribution like calculation of median point, the

mean point or the centre of population, the point of minimum aggregate travel, and the point of

maximum population potential. In this report, however, the simple methods of percentage distribution

and population composition of the geographical areas are used to study the population distribution in

Cambodia.
