Spatial Analysis and Modeling in Geographical Transformation Process - GIS-based Applications

pCurrently, spatial analysis is becoming more important than ever because enormous volumes of spatial data are available from different sources, such as GPS, Remote Sensing, and others./ppThis book deals with spatial analysis and modelling. It provides a comprehensive discussion of spatial analysis, methods, and approaches related to human settlements and associated environment. Key contributions with empirical case studies from Iran, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Nepal, and Japan that apply spatial analysis including autocorrelation, fuzzy, voronoi, cellular automata, analytic hierarchy process, artificial neural network, spatial metrics, spatial statistics, regression, and remote sensing mapping techniques are compiled comprehensively.
The core value of this book is a wide variety of results with state of the art discussion including empirical case studies./ppIt provides a milestone reference to students, researchers, planners, and other practitioners dealing the spatial problems on urban and regional issues./ppppppWe are�pleased to announce that this book has been presented with the 2011 publishing award from the GIS Association of Japan.brWe would like to congratulate the authors!brbr/ppppp
