Regional Economic and Spatial Analysis

Sprawling urban development is one of the major issues that mainly refer to the extent of urbanization. Less urban sprawl and more compact residential development have been viewed as important components of the environmental agenda. In the major cities of developing countries like Istanbul, where the population is ove…

During the last decade, there has been a rapid increase in the research literature dealing with the measurement of urban sprawl. Density gradients, sprawl indexes, and certain simulation techniques are some of the quantitative measures that have been used in previous studies. Fractal analysis has also been applied in…

It is often argued that the growth of single-asset tourism places is fragile because it is vulnerable to economic fluctuations and is based on specialization and localization economies that lead to an ever stronger lock-in process of path-dependent urban economic development and, in the end, slow growth. In this paper…

The consideration of place-to-place migration flows for regional population projection leads to two basic issues. In this chapter, the authors focus on the internal dynamics of the multiregional system, in particular on the identification of the inertia and stationarity in the linkages (migration). The data base consi…

Plots are hypothesised as the most influential determinant of urban form evolution yet remain understudied. Existing morphological studies exploring plots' influential role lack quantitative methods, while more recent quantitative urban form studies remain largely synchronic, analysing urban form at a single timeframe…

Over the last decade, there has been a rapid increase in the amount of literature on the measurement of urban sprawl. Density gradients, sprawl indexes which are based on a series of measurable indicators and certain simulation techniques are some quantitative approaches used in previous studies. Recently, fractal ana…

A stochastic frontier production function (SFPF) is specified to examine productivity growth, technical efficiency, and technical change in China’s soybean sector. A panel data set of 12 major soybean-producing provinces across the nation during the period of 1983 to 2007 was used. Results indicate that total factor p…

Abstract Facility location selection is a decision problem that takes into consideration both qualitative and quantitative factors and also is one of the most important strategic decisions affecting organizations in terms of business success. Fundamentally, it comprises evaluating a group of alternative sites on the b…
