Modelling Geographical Systems: Statistical and Computational Applications

This text presents a representative selection of innovative ideas currently shaping the development and testing of geographical systems models by means of statistical and computational approaches. Collectively, the contributions span all geographic scales, deal with both individuals and aggregates and represent natural, human and integrated spatial systems. Reflecting current concerns for relevance, each paper has an applied component relating to one or more contemporary issues. "Modelling Geographical Systems" is relevant to researchers, postgraduates, final-year undergraduates and professionals in the areas of quantitative geography, spatial analysis, spatial modelling, and geographical information sciences. Although not intended as a textbook, this volume would provide a useful supplementary text for courses on quantitative geography and geographical systems modelling in both human and physical geography, and GIS and geocomputation.
