Abstract: Abstract This paper considers issues associated with the construction of regions as part of a programme of exploratory spatial data analysis in the case of what Cressie (1991) refers to as “lattice data”. Lattice data arise where a study area has been partitioned into a set of zones or regions attached to each of which is a vector that describes the set of attributes for that zone. The focus of this paper will be the analysis of health data so the attributes in question may be health related but may also include demographic, socio-economic and environmental attributes.
