Scaling of Geographic Space from the Perspective of City and Field Blocks and Using Volunteered Geographic Information [PDF]
International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2012,
25(8), 1269-1281, 2010 Scaling of geographic space refers to the fact that for a large geographic area its small constituents or units are much more common than the large ones. This paper develops a novel perspective to the scaling of geographic space using large street networks involving both cities and countryside.
