dc.description.abstract Field surveys are costly exercises and the use of such data is often limited to a predefined geographic area. The spatial value of field survey results is regularly under-utilised on account of restricted application by users. The Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) conducts several surveys a year and in the past couple of years artificial neural network propagation was also used to extrapolate survey results to a more representative or national level. The aim of this paper is to examine the methodology of both models and to compare the results of spatial interpolation in a recent substance abuse survey. en
