ECOLOGY AND SPATIAL ANALYSIS

Ecology and Spatial Analysis

Placing an ecological approach in the general framework of American geographic thought indicates the usefulness of distinguishing two trends in the development of this thought-the one ecological, the other spatial. American geography tended to reject the ecological approach because it was identified at an early period with environmental determinism. A spatial, non-functional, approach became do...

Spatial analysis in ecology

Local and global approaches to spatial data analysis in ecology

Geographic analyses in ecology may be separated into those that attempt generalizations to achieve ‘global’ insights, and those that attempt to explore and document local variation. Ecological studies at the broad scale usually set out to test specific hypotheses (such as the effect of energy on species richness) and focus on establishing global relationships before examining local residual var...

Spatial zoning and spatial analysis of urban poverty using spatial analysis (Case study: Mashhad city)

Spatial Zoning and Analysis of Urban Poverty via Spatial Analysis (Case Study: Mashhad City)   Abstract Examining the degree of poverty in every community is the first step taken towards planning for fighting against poverty and deprivation. With understanding the poverty change process over time, planners can make the necessary decisions. The present study aims to investigate the spatial z...
