Hello Jorge,
I want a copy of those papers as well!
Anzir,
This subject has been exhaustedly explored on spatial analysis and
other disciplines, under various names, such as "cluster analysis",
"hotspots", "numerical taxonomies", etc. The Data is not always
spatial but the approach is exactly the same.
Recent work from Bill, Dalton, Tao Yang, etc on "neighborhood
definition" is also cluster analysis, and an important subject would
be to create a link between the two groups of methods.
I used cluster analysis (on data) to classify cities:

Good luck,
