If you have to ask this question - then you need to expand your mind and think about it. Business is people not "THINGS". The more you know about people, their country of origin, their culture their resources etc. the better informed you will be in business!

There are no rates that directly tie into geography.  AG is meteorology and that's the closest rate to anything vagueley resembling the planet and it's environment.

If it were me, I would look at countries with a high population that do not have adequate transportation.  More countries are expanding and you're going to have needs there as more and more people join the workforce.  What you need to do, is research to identify what countries, what their needs are and how your company can supply those needs, in a profitable manner.

It is sufficient, but it is not optimal.  Calculations of distance (for instance) in a GIS require formulas to be written within the SQL.  A QL that has these calculations supplied is better.

you need to tell us where this residential project is because geography is pretty important! Of course not less important is culture and customs where this is located! Otherwise if no restrictions exist and weather allows it then make lots of swimming pools and and lots of outdoor activities like  golf courses and tennis courts, having these features in your project plus a secure and environmentally clean atmosphere will enable the project to sell itself without much hassle...\n\nyou are welcome to contact me for further discussion

AdAge is THE advertising magazine http://www.adage.com/ . They may have the information you need.\n\nHowever, your business is on the Web so I don't quite understand why you want to focus on 10 GEOGRAPHICAL locations - when you can reach your target market with minimal geographical market focus. Your target market on the Web can be found in parenting forums, expectant mother boards, online magazines for expectant parents - there's a lot of those sites. I think you will gain BETTER mileage with your advertising dollars to focus on where your market goes on the Web, rather than where they live geographically.

Great dissertation topic!  I love it.  As you might be aware, this is a hot topic lately both in academia and in the field with the increasing use of ArcIMS and now the public mapping APIs such as Google Maps as well.\n\nI teach courses in GIS and real estate and this is definitely the number 1 interest among my students.  Well, perhaps using the GIS for valuations is equally as popular.\n\nThe best way to get started is to visit your friendly university library.  If your university offers PhD degrees, the library should be able to provide you with the info you need.  Two databases that will provide the most hits for you are Ingenta and SpringerLink.\n\nTo help give you a jump-start to your research, here are some publications that I have marked:\n\n+ Architecture for a real estate analysis information system using GIS techniques integrated with fuzzy theory, Pagourtzi, Elli, Journal of Property Investment and Finance, Volume 24, Number 1, 2006, pp. 68-78(11).\n\n+ Optimal spatial decision making using GIS: a prototype of a real estate geographical information system (REGIS), Zeng T. Q, International Journal of Geographical Information Science, Volume 15, Number 4, 1 June 2001, pp. 307-321(15).\n\n+ Towards a 3D cadastre: where do cadastral needs and technical possibilities meet?, Stoter J., Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, Volume 27, Number 4, July 2003, pp. 395-410(16).\n\n+ REALMEDIA: providing multimedia-based real-estate services through the Internet, Cao J., Automation in Construction, Volume 10, Number 2, January 2001, pp. 275-289(15).\n\n+ Real Estate Problem Solving and Geographic Information Systems: A Stage Model of Reasoning, Larry E. Wofford, Journal of Real Estate Literature, Volume 5, Number 2 / July, 1997.\n\n+ The Real Estate Information System: A National Project that Fully Implement GIS in Handling Land Registration Transactions in Qatar - http://gis.esri.com/library/userconf/proc99/proceed/papers/pap961/p961.htm\n\n+ As a case study, you might want to check out uMoveFree ( http://www.umovefree.com ).  This company has leveraged GIS and other information systems in the residential rental market.\n\n+ The North Texas Real Estate Information Systems, Inc. ( http://www.ntreis.net/ ) provides the MLS and other real estate datasets for my local area.  As a case study, Texas A&M used GIS to generate various maps based on NTREIS data ( http://recenter.tamu.edu/data/gis/NtreisGis.html ).

"Geography" just means knowing where other places / countries are located, and knowing something about those countries (including your own country.) \n\n"Geo" is the Greek word for "Earth" and "Graphos" is the Greek word for "picture" (graphic) or "writing". So, Geography is information about the Earth.\n\nWhat's it used for...? Suppose you want to learn about William Shakespeare. He wrote tons of plays around 1700, and they were SO excellent that we still read them today.\n\nWhere was Shakespeare from? \nHow do you get there? Is it far?\nWhat kind of money do they use? \nIs it expensive to get there?\nIf you are injured when there, do they have modern hospitals?\nDo you need to get any shots (needles) before you go there?\nWhat language do they speak?\n\nIf you know geography, you can visit other countries and do stuff. If you DON'T know any geography, you should stay home!

The Perry-Castañeda Library library at the University of Texas at Austin has one of the best downloadable map collections on the net. There are country maps, city maps, historical maps, thematic maps showing industry, land use, minerals, population, and there are links to other map sources. \n\nhttp://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/spain.html\n\nGoogle Earth has its place in geography, but is hardly the best source of geographic information. It is excellent for examining topography.
