Spatially Integrated Social Science

·2006·Encyclopedia of Human Geography

Abstract

This introduction offers a framework for the conceptual integration of chapters that are intended to illustrate the practice and value of spatial thinking in the social sciences.We begin with an illustration of how the organization of information in nonspatial and spatial formats yields different interpretations, and of how failure to include locational information can shortchange our interpretations of social process.While different disciplines pose different research questions and have different traditions of analysis, we argue that a spatial perspective provides a common thread based on methods of descriptive and exploratory analysis.Specific attention is called to the importance of place-based analysis, the scientific value of spatially explicit models and theory, the utility of geographic information systems (GIS), and the value of space as a basis for integrating knowledge.GIS and spatial statistics are highlighted as appropriate exploratory tools for integrating diverse databases, and for analyzing and visualizing geographical patterns and processes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
