BACKGROUND AND SCOPE
Regional Science plays a more and more important role in these decades
featured by broadening, deepening, and speeding up of
globalization. The enhancement of knowledge and technologies asks for
more suitable techniques in regional science. Furthermore, the changes
brought upon the need for people from various fields that were not
involved in Regional Science before, rendering the field truly
multi-disciplinary. Initiated as a field of human geography, it winds
up including people from varying disciplines such as engineering,
planning, economy, geography and environmental studies. In a
multidiscipline field such as Regional Science the exchange of ideas
and research within the field is deemed to be necessary. It is this
multi-disciplinary approach that helps to facilitate new theoretical
insights for tackling regional problems. It fosters better
codification of methods and exchange of frontier ideas. The
combination of knowledge of an industry and knowledge of theory is
inevitable if it is to establish credibility. For without it,
efficient communication is restricted
With recent trend in globalization and cross border activities, promoting international collaboration is essential. This joint seminar has been set upon with the aim to serve as a platform for cross-fertilization of ideas among scholars and policy makers. In particular, the exchange of ideas and research among Asian countries and regions is promoted. This will definitely accelerate the development of regional science and benefit all regions in the globalizing world. Topics of interest in this Joint Seminar on Applied Regional Science include (but not limited to):
