Written in recognition of developments in spatial data analysis
that focused on differences between places, the first edition of
Local Models for Spatial Analysis broke new ground with its focus
on local modelling methods. Reflecting the continued growth and
increased interest in this area, the second edition describes a
wide range of methods which account for local variations in
geographical properties. What's new in the Second Edition:
Additional material on geographically-weighted statistics and local
regression approaches A better overview of local models with
reference to recent critical reviews about the subject area
Expanded coverage of individual methods and connections between
them Chapters have been restructured to clarify the distinction
between global and local methods A new section in each chapter
references key studies or other accounts that support the book
Selected resources provided online to support learning An
introduction to the methods and their underlying concepts, the book
uses worked examples and case studies to demonstrate how the
algorithms work their practical utility and range of application.
It provides an overview of a range of different approaches that
have been developed and employed within Geographical Information
Science (GIScience). Starting with first principles, the author
introduces users of GISystems to the principles and application of
some widely used local models for the analysis of spatial data,
including methods being developed and employed in geography and
cognate disciplines. He discusses the relevant software packages
that can aid their implementation and provides a summary list in
Appendix A. Presenting examples from a variety of disciplines, the
book demonstrates the importance of local models for all who make
use of spatial data. Taking a problem driven approach, it pro
This edited volume brings together leading researchers from the
United States, the United Kingdom and Europe to look at the
processes leading to segregation and its implications. With a
methodological focus, the book explores new methods and data
sources that can offer fresh perspectives on segregation in
different contexts. It considers how the spatial patterning of
segregation might be best understood and measured, outlines some of
the mechanisms that drive it, and discusses its possible social
outcomes. Ultimately, it demonstrates that measurements and
concepts of segregation must keep pace with a changing world. This
volume will be essential reading for academics and practitioners in
human geography, sociology, planning and public policy.

Ireland s landscape is marked by fault lines of religious,
ethnic, and political identity that have shaped its troubled
history. Troubled Geographies maps this history by detailing the
patterns of change in Ireland from 16th century attempts to "plant"
areas of Ireland with loyal English Protestants to defend against
threats posed by indigenous Catholics, through the violence of the
latter part of the 20th century and the rise of the "Celtic Tiger."
The book is concerned with how a geography laid down in the 16th
and 17th centuries led to an amalgam based on religious belief,
ethnic/national identity, and political conviction that continues
to shape the geographies of modern Ireland. Troubled Geographies
shows how changes in religious affiliation, identity, and
territoriality have impacted Irish society during this period. It
explores the response of society in general and religion in
particular to major cultural shocks such as the Famine and to long
term processes such as urbanization."

Geographical data are used in so many aspects of our lives today,
ranging from disaster relief operations through to finding
directions on our mobile phones. We can all be data collectors,
adding locational information as we capture digitally our
day-to-day experiences. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are
the software tools that facilitate this, turning the raw data into
useful information that can help us understand our worlds better.
Principles of Geographical Information Systems presents a thorough
overview of the subject, exploring both the theoretical basis of
GIS, and their use in practice. It explains how data on the world
are converted into digital form and the analytical capabilities
used to bring understanding to a range of areas of interest and
issues. Spatial data are usually based on two, dichotomous
paradigms: exactly defined entities in space, such as land parcels
and urban structures, or the continuous variation of single
attributes, such as temperature or rainfall. The adoption of one or
the other influences how the geographical data are structured in
the GIS and the types of analysis possible. A further area of focus
in the book concerns the problems of data quality and how
statistical errors in spatial data can affect the results of
spatial modelling based on the two paradigms of space. Fuzzy logic
and continuous classification methods are presented as methods for
linking the two spatial paradigms. The book concludes with an
overview of current developments and trends in providing spatial
data to an ever-expanding global community of users. Online
