Abstract

The aim of this paper is present an exploratory analysis of spatial data to describe the economic structure of the small area in Murcia Region named Campo de Cartagena. We used the ArcGIS and GeoDa software to perform this analysis using information available in the databank SABI (Analysis Systems Iberian Balance) which give the exact location of companies located in this area. In the first part of the paper a brief description of the most popular statistical spatial autocorrelation, Moran index, is showed. Moreover, we present the graphical version: the Moran scatterplot. In the second part, we apply both indicators to Business Demography to the set of data available in SABI. We conclude from this analysis that both the agricultural, industrial and construction sectors there is a strong spatial dependence structure, while the service sector, commercial or noncommercial, no spatial structure is founded.
