In this paper we explore the advantages of using Self-Organized Maps (SOMs) when dealing with geo-referenced data. The standard SOM algorithm is presented, together with variants which are relevant in the context of the analysis of geo-referenced data. We present a new SOM architecture, the Geo-SOM, which was especially designed to take into account spatial dependency. The strengths and weaknesses of the different variants proposed are shown through a set of tests based on artificial data. A real world application of these techniques is given through the analysis of geodemographic data from Lisbon's metropolitan area. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
