Description: "Human behavior and action is closely related to a corresponding social and spatial environment. The nature of relations in their structures, function and temporal domains is characterized by a duality of contexts, and interrelatedness of the individual and local with the social and global.  Causes, influences and effects are mutual--and this at different scales. This volume presents approaches that dealing with interactions within and between the social and spatial realm, focusing on human behavior, land use change, and energy and infrastructure issues from an agent-based perspective."--page four of cover.
