The second edition of a bestseller, this book details applications of quantitative methods in social science, planning, and public policy with a focus on spatial perspectives. Updated to include the most recent version of ArcGIS 10.1, the new edition also covers recent developments in GIS-for example, simulation of urban environment. Two new chapters highlight cellular automata-based simulation of urban growth and Monte Carlo simulation of urban traffic, each co-authored with leading experts in the respective fields. In addition, all discussion has been expanded to improve readability, particularly for students.
