Models in Spatial Analysis
Résumé
This book provides an overview of models used in advanced spatial analysis. The models presented are related to spatial organisation principles, localization logic, the form of spatial interactions and their role in spatial dynamics. The authors of the chapters come from a range of different disciplines (geography, economics, hydrology, ecology, etc.) and are specialists in their field. They use a range of methods and modelling tools developed in mathematics, statistics, artificial intelligence and physics. Some chapters propose a view on spatial analysis from a thematic point of view, others focus on a key concept or on a specific methodological field of spatial analysis.
