Scale Issues in Geographical Analysis and GIS

Scale Issues in Geographical Analysis and GIS

Nicholas J. Tate, Peter M. Atkinson

276 pages, parution le 07/12/2001

Résumé

Providing a vital overview of the subject, this book is concerned with spatial scale in the context of geographical research using GIS (Geographical Information Systems), and includes comprehensive coverage of the characterisation of multiscale spatial variability and practical approaches to multiscale modelling for GIS.

This unique book is the first to cover such varied aspects of spatial scale in the context of geographical analysis in both human and physical geography, providing an essential overview on this growing subject, arranged around four comprehensive sections; Fractal Analysis, Geostatics and Remote Sensing, Modifiable Areal Unit Problem and Multiscale Modelling.

A vital overview for anyone interested in GIS
