We present and elaborate on a method for analyzing and interpreting data from an Urbanistics project. A fuzzy Hassefication technique was applied to data gathered from this project. Then an algorithm that compares Hasse diagrams was u~d. The resulting mappings are evaluated for their "goodness of fit." These results were then interpreted and summarized in order to determine if the methodology i...
