Current research on spatial temporal data modelling meets many problems, such as the separation of space and time, applicationdriven, not incorporating human cognition and confusing of representation for discrete and continuous spatial change. This paper proposes a general object-oriented model that tries to overcome above problems. The model is directed by human cognition on spatial object tha...

The primary models of interest for areal data analysis are regression models. In the same way that geo-regression models were used to study relations among continuous-data attributes of selected point locations (such as the California rainfall example), the present spatial regression models are designed to study relations among attributes of areal units (such as the English Mortality example in...

We take as our starting point the state of geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial data analysis 50 years ago when regional science emerged as a new field of enquiry. In the late 1950s and 1960s advances in computing technology were making possible forms of automated cartography that in due course would lead to the development of GIS. Although few would have imagined at that time that ...

Advance increasing interest in large-scale, highresolution, real-time geographic information system (GIS) applications and spatial big data processing, traditional GIS are not efficient enough to handle due to limited computational capabilities. Geospatial analytics in big data needed new approaches that are flexible, non-parametric and should be able for dynamic modeling with non-linear proces...

better understanding and recognizing the amount of cultural development in iranian provinces and comparing them, causes a particular attention and helps to recognize their weaknesses, strengths, potentialities and deficiencies. the purpose of this paper is to analyze cultural development indicators in iran. the writers of this article present an applied research and use a comparative method. us...

We distinguish three prevalent spatial data types, defined by the topology of the entity to which the recorded information refers. These are point, lines and area. Features having a specific location, but without extent in any direction are considered as points. A pair of coordinates represents a point. Village locations, industrial locations, cities etc. are the examples of the point data. Lin...
