The popularity of geography as an academic discipline is partlyexplained by its relevance to the real world. Spatial analysis usesgeographic information and statistical methods for the study ofspecific applications, ranging from business location analysis tothe measurement of inner city deprivation, and when used inconjunction with GIS, visual representations and |what if|scenarios can be created. An increasing number of public andprivate sector organisations now regard spatial analysis as avaluable problem-solving tool. Applied GIS and Spatial Analysis focuses on the use ofquantitative methods and GIS in applied contexts, demonstrating thewide range of techniques that are used to deal with problems atdifferent spatial scales. It provides readers with a range ofglobal applications from local/national government and business,and is structured to convey the public-private focus of thematerial. Arranged in four main parts, Applied GIS and SpatialAnalysis covers: Geobusiness, which considers applications in the privatesector. Social Deprivation, a set of chapters commissioned by variouslocal authorities helping to expose different aspects of socialproblems, especially deprivation and crime. Transport and Location, relating to transport networks andlocation problems. National Spatial Planning, which looks at large-scale nationalsocial and economic problems, largely funded by governmentdepartments. This book is unique as it concentrates on commercially-sponsoredapplications of GIS and quantitative geography researchmethodologies that are undertaken by professional quantitativegeographers. Internationally renowned editors andcontributors from academic and business consultancies presentspatial analysis techniques and the actual process ofproblem solving, to illustrate the applied nature of contemporaryquantitative geography. A wealth of case studies enriches thechapters and exemplifies the practical application of GIS,statistical models, location-allocation models, and networks offlow models. Applied Spatial Modelling and GIS is essential readingfor postgraduates and researchers of Quantitative Geography, GIS,Spatial Modelling and Retail Geography. It is also highlyrecommended for upper-level undergraduate and MSc students takingmodules in GIS and Quantitative Geography, and will be a valuablesource of reference for practitioners involved in the use of GISfor private and public sector planning.
