Spatial inequality of urban development may cause problems like inequality of living conditions and the lack of sustainability, drawing increasing academic interests and societal concerns. Previous studies based on statistical data can hardly reveal the interior mechanism of spatial inequality due to the limitation of statistical units, while the application of remote sensing data, such as nigh...

the main aim of the current paper is the formulating and validation of suitable indices to analyze spatial agricultural development inequalities in fars province. the study was carried out in two phases. in phase one with a review of literature, regarding agricultural development, spatial inequality, along with its indicators, 92 agricultural development indicators were identified. these indice...

In this study we investigate the spatial relationship between Superfund sites and the racial, ethnic, and economic characteristics of the areas surrounding those sites in the state of Florida. Unlike many previous environmental justice studies, we examine census tracts rather than larger aggregates such as counties or zip codes. We also look at the problem of environmental injustice longitudina...

regional differences and inequality in many countries is a major challenge in the way of achieving balanced development goals, particularly those countries such as iran which sovereign a large geographical territory. due to past poor national and focused planning, development and its basis in geographical regions of the country, has revealed significant differences in the development process. a...

Abstract This paper investigated the spatial effects of innovation and entrepreneurial activity on income inequality 64 middle‐and‐low‐income countries 25 high‐income from 2000 to 2016. Spatial panel methods are used address issues dependency spillover among neighboring countries. We find following: (1) Evidence correlations in across (2) A positive direct effect between but a feedback innovati...

background exploring changes in health inequality and its determinants over time is of policy interest. accordingly, this study aimed to decompose inequality in neonatal mortality into its contributing factors and then explore changes from 1995-2000 to 2005-2010 in iran.   methods required data were drawn from two iran’s demographic and health survey (dhs) conducted in 2000 and 2010. normalized...

introduction: inequalities in urban environment are a significant concern. socioeconomic level plays an important role in these inequalities. inequality in environmental hazards is recognized as potential determinants of health disparities. materials & methods: in this study, we used individual and cumulative environmental hazard inequality indices to compare the inequality among 379 neighborho...

Questions surrounding regional economic convergence have commanded a great deal of recent attention in economics literature. As in other recent cases in the social sciences, the application of spatially explicit methods of data analysis to the convergence question has yielded important insights on regional economic growth. By contrast, the literature on regional income inequality, although some...

This paper develops a model of economic growth and activity locating endogenously on a 3dimensional featureless global geography. The same economic forces influence simultaneously growth, convergence, and spatial agglomeration and clustering. Economic activity is not concentrated on discrete isolated points but instead a dynamically-fluctuating, smooth spatial distribution. Spatial inequality i...
