Beschreibung
This double-volume work focuses on socio-demographics and the use of such data to support strategic resource management and planning initiatives. Papers go beyond explanations of methods, technique and traditional applications to explore new intersections in the dynamic relationship between the utilization and management of resources, and urban development.
International authors explore numerous experiences, characteristics of development and decision-making influences from across Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as recounting examples from America and Africa. Papers propound techniques and methods used in geographical research such as support vector machines, socio-economic correlates and travel behaviour analysis.
In this volume the contributors examine cutting-edge theories explaining diversity and dynamics in urban development. Topics covered include human vulnerability to hazards, space and urban problematic, assessment and evaluation of regional urban systems and structures and urban transformations as a result of structural change, economic development and underdevelopment. The significance of these topics lie in the pace and volume of change as is happening in geography reflecting continued development within established fields of inquiry and the introduction of significantly new approaches during the last decade.
Readers are invited to consider the dynamics of spatial expansion of urban areas and economic development, and to explore conceptual d
iscussion of the innovations in and challenges on urbanization processes, urban spaces themselves and both resource management and environmental management.Together, the two volumes contribute to the interdisciplinary literature on regional resources and urban development by collating recent research with geography at its core. Scholars of urban geography, human geography, urbanism and sustainable development will be particularly interested in this book.

This books covers in detail all the challenges and solutions of spatial diversity and dynamics in resources and in urban development, while other books are restricted to a few specific items The contributions in the volumes are written by practitioners as well as established university based researchers It will provide scholars and professionals with a survey of the contemporary work in the field and with insights into remaining questions, methodological debates and new ways of thinking within the broader realm of resources and urban development

“The volume starts with a general introduction to the contemporary trends in urban development … . present a substantial quantity of reading material with divergent content, style and methodological approach. … the papers in the book are readable, a few quite interesting and a few very original not only their content and style but also in their convincing argument, based on an in-depth study. … the volume deserve a place on the shelves of educational and research institutions.” (K. R. Dikshit, Transactions, Vol. 39 (1), 2017)
