Use of the REGIS and REThM Data

Abstract The REGIS and REThM data provide a valuable basis for geospatial analysis, even for users new to GIS. This chapter demonstrates how these datasets can be applied in research and teaching through practical examples. In historical research, REGIS and REThM enable the visualization of administrative boundaries over time, facilitating comparative studies. In education, the data support interactive learning, allowing students to explore spatial relationships and thematic mapping. By integrating external datasets, users can analyze socioeconomic trends or demographic changes. Through some step-by-step guidance and practical application examples, this chapter highlights the potential of REGIS/REThM for enhancing GIS-based research and teaching.
