Demand for Spatial Analysis

Identify the spatial structure of economic and demographic forces (urban core, urban periphery and rural hinterland).

Identify the spatial interactions (linkages) between urban and rural areas.

Evaluate the effects of local amenities on regional development.

Objective: The System Dynamics of Spatial Economy

Questions for Spatial Analysis

Is there any spatial cluster over space?Are spatial observations distributed

randomly over space?Are spatial observations correlated

(autocorrelation)? Is there any spatial outlier? Is there any spatial trend?What is the interaction (statistically and

theoretically) between different variables?How to predict an unknown spatial value at a

specific location?

Barriers and Challenges

Barriers: Separation of information from different

sources Separation of information from different

fields Separation of research by different

groupsChallenges: Share of data (manipulation of mass data from

different sources and formats) Share of methodology for data analysis Share of knowledge (results from research)

Solution: Spatial Intelligence

An Integration of Information, Methodology and Knowledge supported by Spatial Technology
