Opis

This book is unique in that it brings together a collection of recent advances in the field of spatial systems analysis from the perspective of a solid and rigorous research methodology. The topics discussed and presented in a refreshing framework have a wide coverage, ranging from land use and infrastructure issues to spatial chaos theory. Especially the evolution of spatial economic systems is given due attention in this book, with a strong emphasis on behavioural foundations originating from economic theory. This book forms an interesting representation of the research spirit advocated by Martin Beckmann, to whom this book is dedicated.
