This map of Indonesia showcases population distribution across the country, using a combination of proportional symbols and choropleth shading to highlight areas of varying population density.Â
Creation Process:
The map was created using GIS data in ArcGIS Pro, integrating population data from multiple sources, including Badan Pusat Statistik, Esri, and USGS.
Population density was visualized using a choropleth method, with a gradient color scheme ranging from light pink (low density) to dark purple (high density).
Proportional symbols represent city population totals, scaled by size to indicate varying population sizes across urban areas.
Primary and secondary road networks were overlaid to provide context on infrastructure connectivity within Indonesia.
Visual Details:
The map highlights densely populated areas, particularly on the island of Java, with large circles over cities such as Jakarta and Bandung, indicating high population concentrations.
The gradient shading of provinces emphasizes regional differences in population density, showing lower densities in less developed or rural areas.
Road networks are displayed with dashed lines, indicating major transportation routes and their role in connecting population centers.
The legend provides clear symbology for population density and city sizes, enhancing the map's interpretability.
