This double-volume work focuses on socio-demographics and the use
of such data to support strategic resource management and planning
initiatives. Papers go beyond explanations of methods, technique
and traditional applications to explore new intersections in the
dynamic relationship between the utilization and management of
resources, and urban development. International authors explore
numerous experiences, characteristics of development and
decision-making influences from across Asia and Southeast Asia, as
well as recounting examples from America and Africa. Papers
propound techniques and methods used in geographical research such
as support vector machines, socio-economic correlates and travel
behaviour analysis. In this volume the contributions examine issues
such as natural resource and environmental management, livelihoods
issues in the context of climate change, land markets and land
trusts, adaptive management of wildlife sanctuaries, ground water
scarcity, flood hazards and flood plain management,
non-conventional energy resources, community forestry and
management and land use and land cover change. The significance of
these topics lie in the pace and volume of change as is reflected
through continued development within established fields of inquiry
and the introduction of significantly new approaches during the
last decade. Readers are invited to consider the dynamics of
spatial expansion of urban areas and economic development, and to
ex plore conceptual discussion of the innovations in and challenges
on urbanization processes, urban spaces themselves and both
resource management and environmental management. Together, the two
volumes contribute to the interdisciplinary literature on regional
resources and urban development by collating recent research with
geography at its core. Scholars of urban geography, human
geography, urbanism and sustainable development will be
particularly interested in this book.
