The widespread use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) has significantly increased the demand for knowledge about spatial analytical techniques across a range of disciplines. As growing numbers of researchers realize they are dealing with spatial data, the demand for specialized statistical and mathematical methods designed to deal with spatial data is undergoing a rapid increase. Responding to this demand, The SAGE Handbook of Spatial Analysis is a comprehensive and authoritative discussion of issues and techniques in the field of spatial data analysis.
The Future for Spatial Analysis
The Future for Spatial Analysis
Spatial Analysis past and present
The future of geography is inextricably bound to the future of spatial analysis. Why? Simply because spatial analysis captures the essence of a support system for the science and technology involved in geospatial thinking and reasoning. The latter are the distinct and unique contributions of geography to the universe of academe, government, and business.
For about 50 years, geographers have been slowly but surely building a structure of theories, models, methods, technologies, and vocabulary that anchor the discipline's claim to being a science. This effort has occurred both in the physical and human components of the discipline. A common theme in both efforts has been the search for valid and reliable conclusions from ...
