Regional Intelligence is an emerging field that leverages the
lessons learned through decades of regional science. By merging
spatial analysis with quantitative analytical techniques in the
Anthropocene, this book contributes to the multidisciplinary
understanding of regional issues. The locational aspects of
regional paradigms are explored through various empirical studies
that promote a rich and diversified understanding of regional
issues concerning policy, governance, land use, and territorial
decisions. Given its scope, the book will appeal to scholars and
students of regional and spatial sciences and geography, as well as
practitioners and decision makers engaged in regional planning and
policymaking, looking for new methodological approaches that offer
insights into sustainable development, regional prosperity, and
livability. As a unique contribution, this book challenges the
status quo on how complex spatial problems at an international
level and at multiple scales can be comprehended.
Economic and financial crises have brought the rise of
unemployment, reduction of economic growth and emergence of global
imbalances and tensions as countries and regions have suffered the
effects of a variety of internal and external shocks. In this
context of constant disruption, the scientific community has
struggled to provide satisfactory answers to current economic
challenges within standard frameworks. Focusing on the
interconnections between innovation and resilience, this edited
book contributes to a better understanding of how the crisis
affects innovation and the capacity of territories to adapt and
evolve. It offers both theoretical and empirical contributions that
debate the notions of resilience in regional and urban contexts and
serve as case studies related to innovation strategies and
territorial clusters.
This book offers readers a spatial understanding of happiness and
subjective well-being. By integrating spatial and geostatistical
methods, it sheds new light on the spatial and geographical aspects
of subjective well-being. Geographical analysis allows us to
measure spatial and regional discrepancies in subjective well-being
and to identify heterogeneous profiles in terms of social, economic
and environmental patterns. Consequently, the papers gathered here
address various topics concerning the spatial aspects of subjective
well-being, including social injustice, age, new urban spaces, and
tourism. The book proposes a multidisciplinary approach and is
intended for scholars and students in the fields of geography,
economics and the spatial sciences. By examining several critical
dimensions of happiness and subjective well-being, it enriches the
complexity of regional decision-making on the path toward happier
and more liveable societies.
This book presents a systematic analysis of challenges in the field
of Geographical Information Systems and Science, geographical
analysis, and regional science for Ontario, one of the
fastest-changing provinces in Canada and one of North America's
largest economic hubs. In nine chapters, the book offers advanced
spatial analysis techniques and digital data content to integrate
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as tools to tackle regional
and urban challenges. The chapters address the following main
topics: 1) state-of-the-art approaches for regional discrepancies,
2) investigations of available methods for advanced spatial
analysis, 3) identification of regional patterns and land use
dynamics, 4) availability of Web 3.0 data content for regions
without standardized data, and 5) the limitations and challenges of
urbanization and its impact on landscape, heritage and ecosystems.
 The volume is divided into four sections dealing with key
issues in Ontario, each addressing the use of GIS for
crucial regional decision-making. The book will be of interest to
researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, planners,
regional scientists, and policy makers.
