Providing an authoritative assessment of the current landscape of
spatial analysis in the social sciences, this cutting-edge Handbook
covers the full range of standard and emerging methods across the
social science domain areas in which these methods are typically
applied. Accessible and comprehensive, it expertly answers the key
questions regarding the dynamic intersection of spatial analysis
and the social sciences. The chapters are split into insightful
sections dedicated to foundational background material, methods,
social science applications and the challenges on the horizon,
using state-of-the-art coverage of the traditional and novel
spatial methods. Leading scholars in the field use a range of
applications to illustrate the diverse ways in which spatial
analysis methods can inform research in the field of social
sciences. Furthermore, the Handbook discusses the key challenges to
that research including uncertainty, reproducibility and
replicability. This Handbook of Spatial Analysis in the Social
Sciences will be an excellent informative resource for scholars in
the fields of geography, social sciences and public health.
Established and early career researchers of the social sciences
alike will appreciate the detailed overview of the methods and
applications as well as the ability to expand their methodological
knowledge.
This volume is devoted to the geographical-or spatial-aspects of
population research in regional science, spanning spatial
demographic methods for population composition and migration to
studies of internal and international migration to investigations
of the role of population in related fields such as climate change
and economic growth. If spatial aspects of economic growth and
development are the flagship of the regional science discipline,
population research is the anchor. People migrate, consume,
produce, and demand services. People are the source and
beneficiaries of national, regional, and local growth and
development. Since the origins of regional science, demographic
research has been at the core of the discipline. Contributions in
this volume are both retrospective and prospective, offering in
their ensemble an authoritative overview of demographic research
within the field of regional science.
At heart, transportation policy and research are about people:
connecting individuals and the places they live, ensuring
sufficient and equitable access, and facilitating movement. Whether
at the regional, city, or neighborhood scale, the loss of
population presents unique challenges where transport is concerned.
It is not only about preservation of existing access, but possibly
even a question of increased need for connectivity and mobility.
Demographic changes that accompany depopulation--aging for
example-- also impact existing systems, preferences, and needs.
