Bøger i Advances in Spatial Science serien

Dealing with knowledge discovery and data mining in spatial and temporal data, this book seeks to present novel methods that can be employed to discover spatial structures and processes in complex data. Numerical examples and applications are used throughout.

This book argues that cost minimizing behavior pertains if the likelihood of any independent sample of observations is a decreasing function of the average cost of the sample. That new approach provides a deeper understanding of choice probability models.

The effective planning of residential location choices is one of the great challenges of contemporary societies and requires forecasting capabilities and the consideration of complex interdependencies which can only be handled by complex computer models.

This volume develops a set of fresh decision-making protocols for consumers and suppliers alike that reflect two distinct features of congestion-prone services, namely the discrepancy between capacity and throughput, and service quality competition.

This book bridges the gap between economic theory and spatial econometric techniques. The volume provides a rigorous treatment of the basic spatial linear model, and it discusses the violations of the classical regression assumptions that occur when dealing with spatial data.

One aspect of the new economy is a transition to a networked society, and the emergence of a highly interconnected, interdependent and complex system of networks to move people, goods and information.

The effective planning of residential location choices is one of the great challenges of contemporary societies and requires forecasting capabilities and the consideration of complex interdependencies which can only be handled by complex computer models.

European Regional Growth is the result of three major influences. First, the ongoing integration of the European regional economies and the need to understand what this means for European economic and social cohesion. Third, the development of techniques of spatial data analysis, simulation, data visualization and spatial econometrics.

The technological developments as well as urban future of an information age where the development of ICT sets the pace and options is explored in this book. Methods to evaluate the societal consensus related to the spatial development - linked to transport infrastructures - are also described.

They suggested that regional science had not sufficiently demonstrated that it can address real-world problems and subsequently lacked a focus on relevant policy issues. Second, they argued that regional science had become too narrow in focus and had moved away too far from real people and their daily concerns or struggles in life.

Geocomputation may be viewed as the application of a computational science paradigm to study a wide range of problems in geographical systems contexts. This title develops techniques for solving real world problems in an array of application domains with a catalyst to understanding of what geocomputation is and what it entails.

The introduction of the single currency in the European economic space constitutes without doubt the most visible step towards monetary and economic integration in the EU.

The first worldwide overview of Planning Support Systems (PSS) and their application in practice. PSS are geo-technology related instruments consisting of theories, information, methods, tools, et cetera for support of unique professional public or private planning tasks at any spatial scale.

In recent years, spatial analysis has become an increasingly active field, as evidenced by the establishment of educational and research programs at many universities. In addition, there is emphasis on the uses of new technologoies for the analysis of spatial data through the application of neural network concepts.

The 1990s have seen some remarkable changes in geographical information (GI) provision and computer technology that have impacted on many of the activities that constitute planning in all its different forms.

This book explores how new communication and information technologies combine with transportation to modify human spatial and temporal relationships in everyday life.

The present volume is intended to remedy this neglect by providing high-level contributions to the three main topics of the book, the theory of regional competition, methods of analysis of regional competition and policies of regional competition.

The aim of this book is to explore the challenges facing rural communities and economies and to demonstrate the potential of spatial microsimulation for policy and analysis in a rural context.

This book investigates the EU's regional growth dynamics and the reasons why peripheral and socio-economically disadvantaged areas have failed to catch up with the rest of the Union. It identifies the distinctive features of the European process of innovation.

This book highlights which European regions have succeeded in taking advantage of globalization trends and identifies the reasons for their success. It also offers an analysis utilizing scenarios based on assumptions of how globalization trends will develop.

This text brings together differing geographic perspectives in modeling and analysis in order to highlight infrastructure weaknesses or plan for their protection. Offering new methodological approaches, the book explores the potential consequences of critical infrastructure failure, stemming from both man-made and natural disasters.

Time Time b a Space Space Time Time c d Space Space Fig. Rather, interactions between and within regions are very relevant to the performance of individual regions in an integrated world and will be at the core of the analyses of the following chapters.

Most research on globalization has focused on macroeconomic and economy-wide consequences. This book explores an under-researched area, the impacts of globalization on cities and national urban hierarchies, especially but not solely in developing countries.

This text brings together differing geographic perspectives in modeling and analysis in order to highlight infrastructure weaknesses or plan for their protection. Offering new methodological approaches, the book explores the potential consequences of critical infrastructure failure, stemming from both man-made and natural disasters.

A rare book on regional convergence in the EU, this volume affords planners, policy makers and regional development institutions a set of easily applied methods based on a novel analysis that links club convergence to technology adoption differentials.

The set of tools ranges from the more traditional (input-output) to new developments in computable general equilibrium models, nonlinear dynamics, neural modelling and innovation.

Complex systems analysis has become a fascinating topic in modern research on non-linear dynamics, not only in the physical sciences but also in the life sciences and the social sciences.

This book explores different approaches to defining the concept of region depending on the specific question that needs to be answered. The book is divided into three parts: The first part is dedicated to a methodological discussion of the concept of region and the different potential approaches from different perspectives.

In 1993, Barclay organized the first of a series of sessions on "Measuring Regional Economic Effects of Unscheduled Events" at the North American Meetings of the Regional Science Association International (RSAI).
