This publication att empts to adapt the dasymetric method of mapping statistical areas to study population density and carry out the mapping of population distribution of the city of Krakow. Population studies of cities are an important issue, both from a spatial and urban planning point of view and in the preparation of market or crisis studies. Existing maps of the population of Krakow come down to simple cartograms referenced in administrative divisions. Based on the approaches given in literary sources (and modifying them appropriately with regard to the nature and detail of the data already in place), three population distribution maps of Krakow were developed using the binary method and – in two variable options – surface-weight aggregation. Data on land cover and use from the 2009 Urban Atlas was used as a limiting variable, available under the GMES Urban Audit program. The statistical data on population that required conversion from administrative units into built-up areas came from 2009 data developed for the 141 urban units of Krakow. Arbitrarily adopted numbers of people assigned to particular types of land cover (the fi rst two implemented approaches) generalize the population distribution of the city and/or assume the possibility of a direct transfer of experience from other areas to the analyzed area. Therefore, in the third solution, an optimization of the surface-weight aggregation method was made, obtaining new characteristic proportions for Krakow in the population density for inhabited categories of land cover. When analyzing cartograms and histograms of errors noted within the urban units, the validity of this approach was confi rmed. The map generated provides a bett er refl ection of the actual spatial diversity of the population of Krakow than the previously used simple cartograms (or the dasymetric modeling, which did not take into account the specifi cs of the mapped area).
