Qualitative monitoring of information infrastructures: A case study of INSPIRE
This paper considers the experience of the implementation of the Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007 establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) as a case study of qualitative monitoring in building information infrastructures. It considers the nature of information infrastructures and possible approaches to qualitative monitoring in situations of this k…

Urban growth pattern modeling: A case study of Wuhan city, PR China
Modelling Urban Growth Patterns: A Multiscale Perspective
Urban development is a complex dynamic process involving various actors with different patterns of behaviour. Modelling urban development patterns is a prerequisite to understanding the process. This paper presents a preliminary multiscale perspective for such modelling based on spatial hierarchical theory and uses it for the analysis of a rapidly developing city. This framework starts with a conceptual model, which aims at linking planning hiera…

Technology and Regional Development Policy: A Review of Japan's Technopolis Programme
MASSER I. (1990) Technology and regional development policy: a review of Japan's technopolis programme, Reg. Studies 24, 41–53. The main features of Japan's technopolis programme are described and the setting in which these have been developed is considered with reference to regional development strategies and technology policies. The experience of one of the more successful technopolis sites, Shinanogawa/Nagaoka, is examined in some detail and e…

Delphi Revisited: Expert Opinion in Urban Analysis
Population Forecasting and Urban Planning Practice: A Case Study
In this case study of population forecasting and planning practice in South Yorkshire, a number of insights are given into the issues involved in the application of quantitative methods to policy analysis. It is suggested that the users of population forecasts typically question the validity of the data and the assumptions made about future trends rather than the form of the forecasting model itself. In the case study it is also demonstrated to w…
Migration and Settlement: A Multiregional Comparative Study
Approaches to Information Management in County Planning Authorities in England and Wales
The paper describes the findings of a survey of information management in the 54 country planning authorities of England and Wales. They indicate the extent to which current county planning practice is directed towards economic regeneration and the degree to which monitoring activities are still regarded as evolving despite the long time interval that has elapsed in many cases since the initial submission of the County structure plans. They show …

Functional Regionalisation of Spatial Interaction Data. An Evaluation of Some Suggested Strategies
Three alternative approaches (the functional distance approach, the iterative proportional fitting based procedure and the intramax procedure) to the functional regionalisation of spatial interaction data are compared and evaluated in this paper. After a general discussion of the basic properties of each approach, the detailed processes that are involved in each case are illustrated by reference to a worked example. The last section of the paper …
Hierarchical Aggregation Procedures for Interaction Data
Hierarchical aggregation procedures for interaction data are considered in relation to the design of spatial systems for operational versions of interaction models. Two types of application are examined, in general terms and with reference to real situations. These deal with cases such as the delimitation of subsystems for hierarchical models where the objective is to maximise the proportion of intrazonal interaction, and cases such as the defini…

The design of spatial systems for internal migration analysis
Masser I. (1976) The design of spatial systems for internal migration analysis, Reg. Studies 10, 39–52. To overcome the accounting problems that have hitherto inhibited studies of migration which include both intraregional and interregional flows, spatial systems must be defined in terms of two or more levels of resolution. The basic framework of migration analysis in a two level spatial system is described in general terms and its value is illus…

A Note on the Treatment of Flows across System Boundaries in Spatial-Interaction Models
Some problems that must be resolved by the analyst in connection with the treatment of flows across system boundaries to and from external zones are discussed in this paper. These problems make it necessary to make modifications to the conventional formulations both of the doubly and of the singly constrained members of the family of spatial-interaction models. None of the possible modifications wholly satisfies theoretical requirements in terms …

Estimation of a Growth Allocation Model for North-West England
A version of the Empiric growth allocation model, which forecasts changes in the proportional shares of the distribution of population and two broad categories of employment, has been developed for North-west England using published sources of information. In spite of estimation problems raised by multicollinearity, and evidence of misspecification for the particular simplified form of the model tested, the results of the study generally support …

A Comparative Analysis of Spatial Representation in Doubly Constrained Interaction Models
Some simple criteria for comparing the spatial systems that are used in different applications of doubly constrained interaction models are described and their usefulness is demonstrated by a comparative analysis of four models drawn from British, Dutch, and German sources. The influence that spatial representation has on the performance of the models is also examined and considerable differences are found between the four case studies. These eff…
