Spatial Analysis and Modeling in Geographical Transformation Process: GIS-based Applications: 100 (GeoJournal Library)

"Spatial Analysis and Modeling in Geographical Transformation Process: GIS-based Applications" by Yuji Murayama, Rajesh B. Thapa (auth.), Yuji Murayama, Rajesh Bahadur Thapa (eds.), published by Springer. Currently, spatial analysis is becoming more important than ever because enormous volumes of spatial data are available from different sources, such as GPS, Remote Sensing, and others. This book deals with spatial analysis and modelling. It provides a comprehensive discussion of spatial analysis, methods, and approaches related to human settlements and associated environment. Key contributions with empirical case studies from Iran, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Nepal, and Japan that apply spatial analysis including autocorrelation, fuzzy, voronoi, cellular automata, analytic hierarchy process, artificial neural network, spatial metrics, spatial statistics, regression, and remote sensing mapping techniques are compiled comprehensively. The core value of this book is a wide variety of results with state of the art discussion including empirical case studies. It provides a milestone reference to students, researchers, planners, and other practitioners dealing the spatial problems on urban and regional issues. Book details: 302 pages, published 2011.
