Abstract

This book is outcome of the series of lectures, which were presented in August 2003 during the special theoretical sessions and open Panel Discussion on “Past and Future of Theoretical Regional Science” within the frame of European Regional Science Association 2003 Conference, in Jyvaskyla, Finland. The year 2003 was the 50th anniversary of the Regional Science Association and it was felt that this would be an appropriate time to present a Re-evaluation of the Theoretical Toolbox of Regional Science. The idea was to find new branches of mathematics and new mathematical models inspired by empirical regularities of Social and Behavioral Sciences in Economics, Demography, Socio-Ecology, Decision Sciences and Planning. The content of different chapters of the book are presented below
