Course content
The course draws on the nature of geographical space as a non-homogenous entity. Attention will be paid to the following issues: real spatial interactions, spatial interaction models (gravitation model, potential, Reilly's model) including the issue of their calibration, distance effect and spatial deformations. The course will include both theoretical basis of spatial interactions and deformations and detailed techniques within particular application cases.
