Preface
InterestinspatialanalysiswithGIShastremendouslygrowninrecentyearsinmany
different ways. Researchers from a variety of academic disciplines are employ-
ing geographical thinking and GIS tools to develop spatially-explicit models to
understand the real world processes. Currently, spatial analysis is becoming more
important than ever because enormous volumes of spatial data are available from
different sources, such as GPS, Remote Sensing, and among others. Even more,
non-spatialdatacollectedarebeingeithergeo-codedorgeo-referencedforconvert-
ing into spatial. For example, the data related to census, traffic, patients, facilities,
schools, etc. are being available at different spatial scale even in the developing
countries.Therefore,thereisaneedtobringspatialanalysiswithGISconceptsand
resultswithmoreempiricalstudiestodiverseaudiences.
This book is concerned with spatial analysis within a GIS framework. This
bookaimstoprovideacomprehensivediscussionofspatialanalysis,methods,and
approaches related to human settlements and associated environment, which are
based on results from empirical studies and field experiences. In this book, we
planned to address a number of questions that adhere in spatial analysis such as,
how can we better explain and describe geographic problems in geographic sys-
tems?Howhavespatialanalysisandmodelingbeenappliedtoreal-worldproblems?
Whataretheusefulapproachesforsimulatinggeographicprocesses?Whatarethe
major issues that need to be addressed in spatial analysis? The research outputs
ontechniques,methods,andmodelswithempiricalexperiencesbytheresearchers
are complied and make available to geographic analysts, modelers, and GIS pro-
fessionals. Framing the collective efforts and practical experiences in a book will
beagreatcontribution,especiallytoplannersanddecisionmakersinthedevelop-
ing countries. All together 16 key contributions with empirical case studies from
Iran, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Nepal, and Japan that applied spatial analy-
sis including autocorrelation, fuzzy, voronoi, cellular automata, analytic hierarchy
process, artificial neural network, spatial metrics, spatial statistics, regression, and
