Over the last 50 years, land use has dramatically changed. Over the past two decades, Remote Sensing imagery and its capacity to observe detailed land use patterns has facilitated a deeper understanding of historical land development patterns. Hence, the goal of this paper is to shed some light...

This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of structural land use changes that are occurring in rural environments, by using novel methodologies related to Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The land use change analysis developed in this study is associated with a pre-selected set of...

Innovation research has become an important topic in regional science analysis. Yet the modelling base of much innovation research is still feeble. This paper aims to map out the research potential of recent approaches in quantitative complexity analysis, in particular Neural Networks (NNs)...
