This timely and fascinating book illustrates how applied geography
can contribute in a multitude of ways to assist policy processes,
evaluate public programs, enhance business decisions, and
contribute to formulating solutions for community-level problems.
The book showcases studies by applied geographers from across the
globe collaborating with the public sector, businesses, NGOs and
communities to demonstrate how geography - with its space and place
perspective and its explicitly spatial methods and tools - has been
employed to address significant real-world issues. The 20 case
studies have been conducted at a variety of levels of scale and
situational contexts, and employ a range of quantitative and
qualitative approaches including spatial and statistical modelling,
Geographic Information Systems (GIS), impact analysis and action
research. This enlightening and informative book will prove an
invaluable reference tool for academics, students and practitioners
with a specific interest in applied geography and spatial analysis.
