¤ This comparison shows how the accuracy of the gridding approach versus the
conventional administrative divisions.
¤ The ultimate importance of such gridding system crystalizes when chronic society
problems are being investigated at the gross-rotes. As this approach is considered
more reliable in directing the development interventions.

¤ Two different scenarios of unemployment.
¤ If a geographical place is interesting to be covered by development policies,
thence unemployment rates will be targeted.
¤ If the objective is to affect on the national figure of unemployment, thence the
mass-unemployed should be targeted, means the proportion of unemployed in
county to the national figure of unemployed candidates is of interest.
