Statistical Behavioural Models in Geography are analytical frameworks that use statistical methods to explain and predict how individuals or groups make spatial decisions, such as migration, shopping, commuting, or land-use choices. These models combine behavioural geography, which emphasizes human perceptions, preferences, and decision-making processes, with statistical analysis to quantify patterns and test hypotheses. Techniques such as regression models, probability analysis, and discrete choice models are often applied to understand why people select certain locations or routes, and how these decisions shape broader spatial structures. By linking human behaviour with measurable data, these models provide geographers with powerful tools for urban planning, transportation studies, and regional development, ensuring that planning decisions reflect both statistical evidence and human realities.
This lecture is part of GEO 404 QUANTITATIVE TECHNIQUES IN GEOGRAPHY 2 in the Geology department. The course has 30 recorded lectures across 10 series, all free to watch.
