520 _aThis book focuses on the use of quantitative methods and GIS in applied contexts, showing the wide range of techniques that are used to deal with problems at different spatial scales. Part one examines applications in the private sector such as retail. Part two contains chapters commissioned by local authorities helping to expose social problems such as crime and deprivation. Part three considers transport networks and location problems. Part four looks at national spatial planning issues, including large-scale social and economic problems. Numerous case studies illustrate the practical application of GIS, statistical models, location-allocation models and networks of flow models. References.
