contemporary cities from many aspects have challenges with the phenomenon of injustice and in different areas suffer from the distribution of benefits, housing, and access to services. meanwhile, the spatial justice and related studies have raised in response to these issues as an emerging and interdisciplinary field. hence, justice has become a principal goal of urban planning in its instituti...

Literature on socioeconomic determinants of antibiotic consumption in the community is limited to few countries using cross-sectional data. This paper analyses regional variations in outpatient antibiotics in Italy using a balanced panel dataset covering the period 2000-2008. We specify an econometric model in which antibiotic consumption depends upon demographic and socioeconomic characteristi...

due to deep, complex and everlasting interaction between precipitation and climatic elements-factors, there are changes and varieties in both time and space dimensions. so that climate experts and related scientists take their attentions to this phenomenon. an approach to do this kind of investigations is to describe spatial variations based on spatial statistics. in this paper the main object ...

continuous soil quality evaluation in is necessary agricultural regions to sustainable soil management and profitable agricultural production. the objectives of this study were comprised of an evaluation of soil quality utilizing integrated quality index (iqi) along with its spatial distribution in qazvin province. iqi was calculated and its spatial changes analyzed using different interpolatio...

one of temperature estates is hot day occurrence. in order to recognize the mechanism of this estate, surveying its spatial behavior is crucially important. in current paper it has been attempted to recognized widespread hot days and their spatial distribution by using statistical methods. accordingly maximum temperature database of iran during 1962-2008 has been used. the analyses result has i...

In this paper I illustrate the use of general conditions, derived by Pinkse (1999), under which Moran–flavoured tests for spatial correlation and spatial cross–correlation have a limiting normal distribution in the presence of nuisance parameters in six frequently encountered spatial models. The conditions are weaker than those in related work by other authors and the class of nuisance paramete...

This paper studies the impact of regional inequality on the spatial distribution of college-educated young workers in China. Since the labor market is spatially segmented, secure jobs in large cities come with economic rents in terms of better compensations and access to high-quality local public services. The marketized reform of the socialist college placement system in 1997 has paved the way...
