In this book, the author's strong commitment to the multi-disciplinary field of regional science emerges to provide a unifying framework between spatial modelling traditions from quantitative geography and those from spatial economics, whereby each is enhanced. Starting with a detailed...

The coordination of transportation and land use - which transforms both the transport infrastructure supply and the amenity of urban space - is one of the most important research issues in urban planning today. Concurrently the issue of energy consumption in the transport sector has emerged as a...

Spatial interaction (SI) is the process whereby entities at different points in physical space make contacts, demand/supply decisions or locational choices. The entities can be individuals or firms and the choices can include housing, jobs, production quantities, exports, imports, face-to-face...

The release of agricultural land for urban use by landowners, the development of this land into urbanized land lots by land developers and the construction of buildings by housing developers is a complex multistage process which we study and model as a chain of sub-markets. The theoretical...

This paper addresses two major issues. The first is the introduction of uncertainty into the framework of classical deterministic regional input-output (I-O) analysis. Secondly, the role of the use of measurable flow data on the fundamental structure of the models is explored. The opening...

In using entropy maximization models to forecast locational and travel behaviour, one is confronted with the problem of delineating the choice process as precisely as possible. In addition to defining a fine-grain choice structure implying individuals seeking distinct location sites within...
