ARC Research Network in Spatially Integrated Social Science (2005-2009)
Abstract
The ARC Research Network in Spatially Integrated Social Science (SISS) builds Australia s capacity and capability for innovative, collaborative, cross-disciplinary effort to investigate the impacts of change on the behaviour and well-being of people and the fortunes of places. SISS theories and research tools permit the integration of diverse and complex databases, the generation of new synthetic datasets, the incorporation of spatial concepts into statistical analysis and modelling, powerful visualisation of information, and the building spatial decision support systems, to provide an improved evidence base and better informed decision-making to address the significant challenges facing Australia s people and its places.'',
