商品簡介
Primarily Italian researchers apply spatial-economic analysis techniques to estimating urban sprawl in Salerno and Benevento, land degradation in Southern Italy, green spaces in Catania, non-native resident populations, and the effect of rail accessibility on real estate prices. A pair of papers from Canada compare component-based multivariate regression models of cardiac disease with variable-based models and measure the spatial accessibility to healthcare services among Aboriginal peoples in Alberta. Other topics of the 23 papers include NASA datasets as inputs to hydrological models, a density-based algorithm for spatial data mining, mobile phone network data, and cultural heritage management at the local level.
