Scale and spatial information and analysis

---

This book attempts to resolved some of these issues and to alleviate some of this frustration by taking a rigorous, scienctific approach to scale and its various meanings in relation to the geographic world. It covers methods for measuring aspects of scale and for changing scale through upscaling and downscaling. It discusses scale in relation to the various systems that are now available for aqcquiring geographic datafor modeling environmental and social precesses, and for visualizing phenomena and their distributions over the surface and near the surface of the Earth. This is not the first book to appear on these issues, and citations of many of the previous ones csn br found at various ones can be found at various points in this book. It will certainly not be the last, because geographic technologies are advancing rapidly, along with their importance in numerous areas of humanactivity, and because our thinking and theorizing apout scale are also in constant state of flux. New techniques for downscaling, new methods of analysis, new models of spatial and temporal scale, and new theories of how scale effects and is effected by social and environmental processes are all likely to emerge in the next few years.
