Applied Spatial Analysis And Policy

Journal Title：Applied Spatial Analysis And Policy

DescriptionThe journal has an applied focus: it actively promotes the importance of geographical research in real world settingsIt is policy-relevant: it seeks both a readership and contributions from practitioners as well as academicsThe substantive foundation is spatial analysis: the use of quantitative techniques to identify patterns and processes within geographic environmentsThe combination of these points, which are fully reflected in the naming of the journal, establishes a unique position in the marketplace.RationaleA geographical perspective has always been crucial to the understanding of the social and physical organisation of the world around us. The techniques of spatial analysis provide a powerful means for the assembly and interpretation of evidence, and thus to address critical questions about issues such as crime and deprivation, immigration and demographic restructuring, retailing activity and employment change, resource management and environmental improvement. Many of these issues are equally important to academic research as they are to policy makers and Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy aims to close the gap between these two perspectives by providing a forum for discussion of applied research in a range of different contexts  Topical and interdisciplinaryIncreasingly government organisations, administrative agencies and private businesses are requiring research to support their ‘evidence-based’ strategies or policies. Geographical location is critical in much of this work which extends across a wide range of disciplines including demography, actuarial sciences, statistics, public sector planning, business planning, economics, epidemiology, sociology, social policy, health research, environmental management.   FocusApplied Spatial Analysis and Policy will draw on applied research from diverse problem domains, such as transport, policing, education, health, environment and leisure, in different international contexts. The journal will therefore provide insights into the variations in phenomena that exist across space, it will provide evidence for comparative policy analysis between domains and between locations, and stimulate ideas about the translation of spatial analysis methods and techniques across varied policy contexts. It is essential to know how to measure, monitor and understand spatial distributions, many of which have implications for those with responsibility to plan and enhance the society and the environment in which we all exist.   Readership and Editorial BoardAs a journal focused on applications of methods of spatial analysis, Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy will be of interest to scholars and students in a wide range of academic fields, to practitioners in government and administrative agencies and to consultants in private sector organisations. The Editorial Board reflects the international and multidisciplinary nature of the journal.

描述该期刊侧重于应用：积极宣传地理研究在现实环境中的重要性。它与政策相关：它寻求读者和从业者以及学者的贡献。实质性基础是空间分析：使用定量技术识别地理环境中的模式和过程。这些观点的结合充分反映在期刊的命名中，在市场上确立了独特的地位。基本原理地理视角对于理解我们周围世界的社会和物理组织一直至关重要。空间分析技术为证据的收集和解释提供了强有力的手段，从而解决了犯罪和贫困、移民和人口结构调整、零售活动和就业变化、资源管理和环境改善等问题的关键问题。其中许多问题对于学术研究和政策制定者同样重要，《应用空间分析与政策》旨在通过提供一个论坛来讨论不同背景下的应用研究，从而缩小这两种观点之间的差距。专题和跨学科越来越多的政府组织、行政机构和私营企业需要研究来支持他们的“基于证据的”战略或政策。地理位置在这项工作中至关重要，它涉及人口统计学、精算科学、统计学、公共部门规划、商业规划、经济学、流行病学、社会学、社会政策、健康研究、环境管理等广泛学科。  重点应用空间分析与政策将借鉴不同国际背景下不同问题领域的应用研究，如交通、警务、教育、健康、环境和休闲。因此，该期刊将深入了解存在于空间中的现象变化，为不同领域和不同地点之间的比较政策分析提供证据，并激发关于在不同政策背景下转化空间分析方法和技术的想法。了解如何测量、监测和理解空间分布至关重要，其中许多因素对那些负责规划和改善我们赖以生存的社会和环境的人具有重要意义。  读者和编辑委员会作为一本专注于空间分析方法应用的期刊，《应用空间分析与政策》将引起各学术领域的学者和学生、政府和行政机构的从业人员以及私营部门组织的顾问的兴趣。编辑委员会反映了该期刊的国际性和多学科性质。
