Locational analysis is a quantitative research method used to evaluate the geographic distribution of resources, populations, or phenomena. It employs spatial data and statistical techniques to identify optimal locations for various activities, assess accessibility, and analyze spatial relationships, thereby informing decision-making in fields such as urban planning, logistics, and environmental management.

Key research themes

1. How can technological and methodological innovations improve locational accuracy and interpretation in spatial data acquisition?

This research theme centers on the development and refinement of techniques and tools for obtaining precise locational information crucial for various applications such as wildlife tracking, mobile services, and sensor networks. The focus is on handling inherent noise and uncertainties in spatial measurements, extending existing algorithms to multi-sensor configurations, and enhancing the data processing pipelines to support reliable location estimations.

Key finding: Provides a comprehensive procedural framework for analyzing light-level geolocator data, delineating key steps such as twilight annotation, calibration, and location estimation while addressing error sources like weather and... Read more

2. What frameworks and analytical strategies improve decision-making in locational planning and facility placement?

This theme explores frameworks and computational models addressing optimal site selection for facilities—including healthcare centers, retail stores, and delivery points—by integrating spatial data analytics, multi-criteria evaluation, and competitive spatial interaction models. Emphasis is on developing objective, data-driven decision support systems that consider demographic, accessibility, economic, and competitive factors to enhance equitable service provision and business performance.

Key finding: Introduces a spatially explicit framework for comparative segregation analysis employing counterfactual distributions and Shapley value decomposition to disentangle spatial structure from compositional effects across urban... Read more

3. How are locational and spatial concepts integrated into evolving geographical theories and knowledge representations?

This theme focuses on conceptual and theoretical advancements in geographic information science and spatial analysis, examining the formalization of place, the evolution of location intelligence, and the interpretation of spatial interaction models. It addresses challenges in codifying subjective notions of place, the disciplinary identity of geography in applied contexts, and the representation of spatial phenomena in both empirical and computational frameworks.

Key finding: Surveys methodological challenges in formalizing 'place' within GIScience, emphasizing the inherent vagueness and subjectivity of human spatial data and the difficulty in translating qualitative concepts into binary... Read more
Key finding: Analyzes the historical and disciplinary evolution of location intelligence within applied geography, revealing fluctuating research emphases and highlighting the need for greater self-assessment and repositioning. It... Read more
