Contextual references are also provided to other similar studies or methodologies summarising the intellectual thought processes behind the assumptions and choices made during the course of the methodology development.

Each methodology is described in turn followed by a description of the common data sources used. An extensive list of background literature is also provided along with data annexes and informative background information in the form of appendices. Descargar.
