Description and Table of Contents
Description
Spatial Analysis: Modelling in a GIS Environment Edited by PaulLongley and Michael Batty Digital data and information are usedincreasingly by academics, professionals, local authorities, andgovernment departments. Powerful new technologies, such asgeographic information systems (GIS), are being developed toanalyse such data, and GIS technologies are rapidly becoming partof the emergent world digital infrastructure. This book shows howcomputer methods of analysis and modelling, built around GIS, canbe used to identify ways in which our cities and regions might bebetter planned and understood. The contributors to this book areall actively involved in research using geographic informationsystems. This book will be valuable reading for:
* Geographers, researchers, and regional analysts
* Population theorists and regional economists with interests inlarge-scale demographic and employment data
* Planners and policy-makers who wish to use GIS to improve theirdecision making
* Business analysts who wish to explore markets using the mostrecent advances in digital spatial data technology
* All those interested in geodemographics
Paul Longley is Professor of Geography at the Department ofGeography, University of Bristol, United Kingdom. Michael Batty isProfessor of Spatial Analysis and Planning at the UniversityCollege London. United Kingdom.
