Advances in Spatial Science
This series of books is dedicated to reporting on recent advances in spatial science. It contains scientific studies focusing on spatial phenomena, utilising theoretical frameworks, analytical methods, and empirical procedures specifically designed for spatial analysis. The series brings together innovative spatial research utilising concepts, perspectives, and methods with a relevance to both basic science and policy making. The aim is to present advances in spatial science to an informed readership in universities, research organisations, and policy-making institutions throughout the world.
The type of material considered for publication in the series includes:
- Monographs of theoretical and applied research in spatial science;
- State-of-the-art vorlumes in areas of basic research;
- Reports of innovative theories and methods in spatial science;
- Tightly edited reports form specially organised research seminars.
Manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with the guidelines for authors and editors that may be obtained from Springer-Verlag. Manuscripts considered for the series will be reviewed by independent experts to ensure their originality, scientific level, and international policy relevance.
