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.

描述該期刊側重于應用：積極宣傳地理研究在現實環境中的重要性。它與政策相關：它尋求讀者和從業者以及學者的貢獻。實質性基礎是空間分析：使用定量技術識別地理環境中的模式和過程。這些觀點的結合充分反映在期刊的命名中，在市場上確立了獨特的地位。基本原理地理視角對于理解我們周圍世界的社會和物理組織一直至關重要。空間分析技術為證據的收集和解釋提供了強有力的手段，從而解決了犯罪和貧困、移民和人口結構調整、零售活動和就業變化、資源管理和環境改善等問題的關鍵問題。其中許多問題對于學術研究和政策制定者同樣重要，《應用空間分析與政策》旨在通過提供一個論壇來討論不同背景下的應用研究，從而縮小這兩種觀點之間的差距。專題和跨學科越來越多的政府組織、行政機構和私營企業需要研究來支持他們的“基于證據的”戰略或政策。地理位置在這項工作中至關重要，它涉及人口統計學、精算科學、統計學、公共部門規劃、商業規劃、經濟學、流行病學、社會學、社會政策、健康研究、環境管理等廣泛學科。??重點應用空間分析與政策將借鑒不同國際背景下不同問題領域的應用研究，如交通、警務、教育、健康、環境和休閑。因此，該期刊將深入了解存在于空間中的現象變化，為不同領域和不同地點之間的比較政策分析提供證據，并激發關于在不同政策背景下轉化空間分析方法和技術的想法。了解如何測量、監測和理解空間分布至關重要，其中許多因素對那些負責規劃和改善我們賴以生存的社會和環境的人具有重要意義。??讀者和編輯委員會作為一本專注于空間分析方法應用的期刊，《應用空間分析與政策》將引起各學術領域的學者和學生、政府和行政機構的從業人員以及私營部門組織的顧問的興趣。編輯委員會反映了該期刊的國際性和多學科性質。
