About the Book

This book explores different approaches to defining the concept of region depending on the specific question that needs to be answered. While the typical administrative spatial data division fits certain research questions well, in many cases, defining regions in a different way is fundamental in order to obtain significant empirical evidence. The book is divided into three parts: The first part is dedicated to a methodological discussion of the concept of region and the different potential approaches from different perspectives. The problem of having sufficient information to define different regional units is always present. This justifies the second part of the book, which focuses on the techniques of ecological inference applied to estimating disaggregated data from observable aggregates. Finally, the book closes by presenting several applications that are in line with the functional areas definition in regional analysis.

Table of Contents:
Preface.- Part I: Building Economic Areas from Local Data.- Part II: Estimation of Spatial Desaggregated Data.- Part III: Applications of Spatial Analysis with Small Area Observations.

Review :
“The content of this collection of papers deals with defining the appropriate spatial scale in a regional analysis, as the title of this work suggests. … This book nicely provides an overview of the current state of affairs in regards to regional analysis. It showcases a good number of examples and data analyses. The infrastructure of the book makes it useful as a research resource.” (Technometrics, Vol. 56 (3), August, 2014)
