| Dec 18, 2023 at 3:08 | comment | added | Obleo Demandre | Hi thank you for you advice! I was wondering if you think that in-general using lat/long is preferrable to UTM if computation is not the issue. Some sources indicate that UTM is the preferred projection for preserving accuracy with distance measures/zonal statistics over small areas (my study region is about 20 square kms). I am looking at the relationship between survey respondent mental health, nearby environmental characteristics, and distance to amenities, so minimizing distortion is important. If one person is further than something than another, I want to make sure I am picking that up. | |
