  • Evolution of Regional Innovation with Spatial Knowledge Spillovers: Convergence or Divergence?
    Networks and Spatial Economics, 2019
    Co-Authors: Jinwen Qiu, Wenjian Liu, Ning Ning
    Abstract:

    This paper extends endogenous economic growth models to incorporate Knowledge externality. We explore whether Spatial Knowledge spillovers among regions exist, whether Spatial Knowledge spillovers promote regional innovative activities, and whether external Knowledge spillovers affect the evolution of regional innovations in the long run. We empirically verify the theoretical results through applying Spatial statistics and econometric models in the analysis of panel data of 31 regions in China. An accurate estimate of the range of Knowledge spillovers is achieved and the convergence of regional Knowledge growth rate is found, with clear evidences that developing regions benefit more from external Knowledge spillovers than developed regions.

  • evolution of regional innovation with Spatial Knowledge spillovers convergence or divergence
    arXiv: Econometrics, 2018
    Co-Authors: Ning Ning
    Abstract:

    Based on endogenous economic growth models and the panel data of 31 regions in China, this paper explores the following four questions: Do Spatial Knowledge spillovers among regions exist? Do Spatial Knowledge spillovers promote regional innovative activities? What is the radiation range of Spatial Knowledge spillovers? Do external Knowledge spillovers affect the evolution of regional innovations in the long run? The results show that Spatial Knowledge spillovers exist, and though the range of Knowledge spillover is within 1000 kilometers in China, it pushes up regional innovative activities. Moreover, since developing regions benefit more from external Knowledge spillovers than developed regions, it leads to the convergence of regional Knowledge growth rate.

  • Geo-Technologies for Spatial Knowledge: Challenges for Inclusive and Sustainable Urban Development
    Geographies of Urban Governance, 2020
    Co-Authors: Karin Pfeffer, Javier Martinez, David O’sullivan, Dianne Scott
    Abstract:

    Critical to governance for sustainable and inclusive urban development is access to, and management of, relevant contextual Spatial Knowledge. Digital geo-technologies such as geographical information systems, online applications and Spatial simulation models are increasingly becoming embedded in urban governance processes to produce, utilize, exchange, and monitor contextual Knowledge and create scenarios for the future. This chapter provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of geo-technologies for Spatial Knowledge production and management for urban governance focusing on (1) the kinds of geo-technologies that feature in the urban governance area; (2) the discourses with respect to geo-technologies in urban governance processes; (3) the kinds of Knowledge produced, used, exchanged, and contested in relation to quality of life, economic development and the ecosystem; and (4) the transformative potential of geo-technologies in urban governance processes. Through this review it draws out the capacities and challenges of geo-technologies for inclusive and sustainable urban development.

  • participatory Spatial Knowledge management tools empowerment and upscaling or exclusion
    Information Communication & Society, 2013
    Co-Authors: Karin Pfeffer, Isa Baud, Eric Denis, Dianne Scott, John Sydenstrickerneto
    Abstract:

    Different types of Spatial Knowledge (expert, sectoral, tacit and community) are strategic resources in urban planning and management. Participatory Spatial Knowledge management is a major method for eliciting various types of Knowledge, providing a platform for Knowledge integration and informing local action and public policy. Knowledge types linked to a specific geographical locality can be integrated through geographical information systems. Recent developments in geographical information and communication technology (geoICT) have extended the opportunities for participatory Spatial Knowledge production, use and exchange. However, data reliability of user-generated content, social exclusion due to dependence on technology and the interpretation and implications of digital maps are major concerns. The challenge is how to integrate and utilize multiple Knowledge sources for improving urban management and governance. This paper integrates the literature on Knowledge types and Knowledge production process...

  • Spatial Knowledge management tools in urban development
    2010
    Co-Authors: Karin Pfeffer, Isa Baud, Eric Denis, Dianne Scott, John Sydenstricker-neto
    Abstract:

    Different forms of Spatial Knowledge (expert, tacit, sector and community Knowledge) are a strategic resource in urban development. Research methods concerning participatory data collection and analysis that elicit and integrate the various forms of Knowledge or co-produce Knowledge through collaboration between scholars and practitioners have the potential to inform local action and public policy. Recent developments in the (geo)information technology and data collection tools have extended the opportunities for Spatial Knowledge production, use and exchange. Such technical advances have the potential to both enhance wider access and understanding as well as to result in more exclusive processes. Although such tools have generally been the preserve of professionals there are increasing examples which suggest they might offer some inclusionary benefits like the case of the collaborative Map Kibera project (http://www.mapkiberaproject.org/) in which a digital geo-referenced database of physical and socio-demographic database of an informal settlement is created and shared, or the provision of and access to user-generated data on Google Earth and Google Maps. While technology opens up new avenues for Knowledge management, data reliability and the type of Knowledge transmitted will become a pressing issue due to the open access to internet platforms and lack of control concerning user-generated information and reference data. We start the paper with a theoretical discussion on Knowledge management models, followed by a review of available tools for the production, use and exchange of various forms of Knowledge. Building on the review and examples of our own work in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, we highlight key challenges, added value and its limitations in urban development. We argue that although much progress has happened, development of technology and new tools alone is not able to fully address key issues regarding greater accountability, empowerment, production, control and use of information. These developments may also foster social exclusion, which could hinder greater benefits of participatory Spatial Knowledge management in the context of urban sustainability.

  • ICICIC (2) - SKG: Spatial Knowledge Discovery in Grid Environment
    First International Conference on Innovative Computing Information and Control - Volume I (ICICIC'06), 2006
    Co-Authors: Xiaosan Ge, Fuling Bian
    Abstract:

    Grid technology is receiving an increasing attention in the domain of data mining and Knowledge discovery. Knowledge grid is a platform that enables uniform and effective data mining and Knowledge discovery, sharing and management across the Internet. This paper presents a grid based Spatial Knowledge discovery environment named Spatial Knowledge grid. Based-on this platform, we study the production of Spatial Knowledge discovery in the grid environment, design an architecture for integrated Spatial Knowledge application in grid environment, and the advanced technologies employed to achieve Spatial Knowledge discovery and sharing in our work are also gone into details in this paper
