The map is defined as a graphic representation of a portion of Earth that is usually drawn to scale on a flat surface. It is the central way geographersSarah W. BednarzBednarz, S.W. 2011. Maps and spatial thinking skills in the AP human geography classroom. Available at: http://ap...
Although most of wealth and innovation have been the result of human interaction and cooperation, we are not yet able to quantitatively predict the spatial distributions of three main elements of cities: population, roads, and socioeconomic interactions. By a simple model mainly based on spatial at...
The weight is used to represent the relative importance of these stages (periods) within a system (research time scale). Regarding the choice of preferred weights for each time period, Tone and Tsutsui (2014) suggested that a reverse relationship between the magnitude of weight in each period ...
Initially, the geoenvironmental risk model (GERM) was utilised to create a filariasis transmission risk map at the regional scale. Later, the GERM, integrated with the GIS, proved more beneficial for Filariasis spatial delimitation, especially at the macro scale. This new model uses a Standardised...
Its spatial distribution mode obeys the aggregation distribution pattern at the scale of province, region and municipality (prefecture-level city). In addition, the formation and development of ASVs are affected by multiple internal and external factors. The influence of basic factors such as natural...
Trade-off relations were shown between ESs in these two groups at the whole region scale. Three bundles were detected among the six ESs: bundle 1, characterized by recreational opportunity of high supply and other services of limited supply, was located in the transitional region between the ...
PLS-PM is regarded as a "soft modeling" approach, without strong assumptions for the distributions, the sample size and the measurement scale, and has been applied extensively, especially in customer satisfaction studies [22]. Based on the software review by Temme et al. (2006) [24], the ...
As the scale of China’s opening to the outside world continues to expand, the provinces that receive the spatial spillover relationship of economic resilience tend to be those with better economic development, while the uncertainty of import and export volume changing with tariffs, foreign ...
In this study, the main goal was to mapping the geographical agglomeration of China’s agricultural drought disaster based on the historical drought disaster data from 1978 to 2016 at the national scale. Moran’s I involving global and the local Moran’s I41, is often used to measure the da...
Each factor weight can be selected by using the 1–100 percentage scale, where a weight represents the relative influence of a given factor on the overall geodiversity score. Each page of the geo-questionnaire also includes an open question asking a respondent to provide a brief justification ...
