Challenges in Spatial Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a time of unprecedented opportunity for spatial analysis. More people than ever have access to the Global Positioning System for direct measurement of location on the Earth’s surface; to the products of high-resolution remote-sensing satellites; and to the manipulative power of geographic information systems (GIS). Some of these technologies are encountered in everyday life, through sites such as Google Earth (earth.google.com), Google Maps (maps.google.com), and Microsoft Windows Live Local (live.local.com), and through the widespread use of in-vehicle navigation systems. Several academic disciplines are recording a spatial turn, a new and in some cases renewed interest in space and location as a framework for analysis, understanding, and presentation of results. A recent publication (National Research Council, 2006) has defined and explored spatial thinking as a paradigm for primary and secondary education, and projects have been funded around the world to advance spatial literacy (e.g., www.spatial-literacy.org).
