Answer:
An urban area is the region surrounding a city. ... Rural areas are the opposite of urban areas. Rural areas, often called "the country," have low population density and large amounts of undeveloped land. Usually, the difference between a rural area and an urban area is clear.
Answer:
This chapter describes the method used by FAO/SDRN to develop gridded urban and rural population databases for inclusion in the FIVIMS Global GIS Database (FGGD) (Huddleston et al., 2005). The main difference between this method and the ones reviewed in Chapter 3 is that it allows making of rural population maps in which pixel values reflect variations not only between subnational units, but also within the units. The method is based on detecting and masking out urban areas on the LandScan Global Population Database in order to make a global rural population grid at the same resolution as LandScan, that is at 30 arc-seconds.
