RGS – IBG Annual International Conference
3 – 5 July 2012
University of Edinburgh
Session Title: Modelling for Policy
This session aims to bring together researchers to report on progress in
diverse types of modelling that has direct impacts on a variety of
policy domains. We encourage the submission of papers that present
novel use of new or established methodologies using GIS or bespoke
models. We are particularly interested in policy applications in the
area of health, population dynamics, crime/security, urban planning and
retail. We intend to represent the interdisciplinary nature of policy
research and analysis with a focus on geographic tools and methods.
Papers may include, but are not limited to:
• Estimating and projecting populations and components of
demographic change
• Understanding spatial patterns of crime and issues of security
• Models for decision support and urban sustainability
• Modelling different patterns of individual behaviour
• Spatial modelling/estimating disease prevalence in small areas
• Modelling the impact of policy change on retail networks
The session is sponsored by the GIScRG of the RGS. The conveners are in
discussion with the Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy journal to
publish high quality submissions in a special edition.
Please e-mail all conveners with the title, an abstract of 250 words and
5 keywords if you would like to be considered for this session.
The deadline for abstracts is Friday 16 December 2011. Notification of
acceptance will be in January 2012.
