Fuzzy Economic Regions in Europe
提出一种模糊区域化分类方法,描述经济区域的模糊特征和边界,并应用于欧洲经济共同体成员国,得出关于其区域结构的原创结论。
Economic regions are fuzzy spaces. A taxonomic method of fuzzy regionalization is presented to describe regions which maintain their imprecise characteristics and frontiers. All fuzzy aspects of elementary spatial units, from which regionalization is carried out, can thus be integrated at every stage of the classification process. This method is then applied to the member States of the European Economic Community. The results are original because they lead to interesting conclusions about the regional structures of the European Community.
