Scaling and allometry in the building geometries of Greater London

, 2008
Many aggregate distributions of urban activities such as city sizes reveal scaling but hardly any work exists on the properties of spatial distributions within individual cities, notwithstanding considerable knowledge about their fractal structure.

Risk assessment using spatial prediction model for natural disaster preparedness

, 2005
The spatial mapping of risk is critical in planning for disaster preparedness. An application from a study area affected by mass movements is used as an example to portray the desirable relations between hazard prediction and disaster management. We have

Characterization of the spatial distribution of farming systems in the Kenyan Highlands

, 2009
Land cover change maps are not sufficient to identify subtle changes in land use and farming systems. This paper describes a method that is developed to identify the spatial distribution of farming system types without the need to extensively map all ...

A balanced view of scale in spatial statistical analysis [PDF]

, 2002
Concepts of spatial scale, such as extent, grain, resolution, range, footprint, support and cartographic ratio are not interchangeable. Because of the potential confusion among the definitions of these terms, we suggest that authors avoid the term "scale"

Spatial Analysis, Critical

, 2009
This article describes attempts that cross-fertilize spatial science and critical geographies and challenge the analytical/quantitative versus critical/qualitative distinction existing across human geography. The article is organized on the basis of criticisms of positivist quantitative geography; it discusses both (early) attempts to articulate the ...
