title: Computer systems to support census geography.
abstract: The development of computer systems that support the geography of the census in Canada is described.  The authors "present proposals for the 1991 Census that increase the level of automation, whether the geography changes or not.  In addition, opportunities for change and improvement, should the geography change, are outlined.  To minimize the risks involved, it is important to give these different proposals serious consideration early in the planning of a census."
