Sending or Receiving Stations? The Dual Influence of Railroads in Early 20th-Century Great Plains Settlement

“…There is a growing interest in spatial aspects of social processes within demographic research that is likely due to recent developments in computing technology (see Voss et al 2006 for further discussion).

Demography as a Spatial Social Science

“…These developments, until quite recently, have largely been overlooked by demographers, but recent overviews of the role of formal spatial data analysis in demography can be found (Voss et al 2004(Voss et al , 2006Weeks 2004). Consequently, they are not further treated here.…”
