Geocomputation is the use of software and computing power to solve
complex spatial problems. It is gaining increasing importance in the
era of the ‘big data’ revolution, of ‘smart cities’, of
crowdsourced data, and of associated applications for viewing and
managing data geographically - like Google Maps. This student focused
book: Provides a selection of practical examples of geocomputational
techniques and ‘hot topics’ written by world leading
practitioners. Integrates supporting materials in each chapter, such
as code and data, enabling readers to work through the examples
themselves. Chapters provide highly applied and practical discussions
of: Visualisation and exploratory spatial data analysis Space time
modelling Spatial algorithms Spatial regression and statistics
Enabling interactions through the use of neogeography All chapters are
uniform in design and each includes an introduction, case studies,
conclusions - drawing together the generalities of the introduction
and specific findings from the case study application – and guidance
for further reading. This accessible text has been specifically
designed for those readers who are new to Geocomputation as an area of
research, showing how complex real-world problems can be solved
through the integration of technology, data, and geocomputational
methods. This is the applied primer for Geocomputation in the social
sciences.
