Beschreibungen
<p>The aim of this book is to provide an overview of the concepts and methods used in fractal analysis and modeling in order to study the spatial distribution of human settlements. The main concepts and mathematical tools are reviewed, and emphasis is placed on the practical benefits of their application and the pitfalls to be avoided when using them.</p> <p>The first part of the book is devoted to the basic concepts and geometric reference figures required for fractal analysis in human geography. In the second part, the principles of four major families of analysis methods are explained in detail: fractal analyses of point sequences, fractal methods for morphological delineation of urban agglomerations, multifractal analyses and cross scale signatures. The third part of the book is devoted to applications of fractal geometry in urban and regional planning.</p>
<p><b>Cécile Tannier</b> is Senior Researcher in geography and planning at the ThéMA laboratory, France. Her main areas of research are location dynamics in urban settings, the shape of cities and dynamic modeling of settlement systems.</p>
