Call for Papers
Join us in Savannah, Georgia for the 54th North American Regional Science
Association International (RSAI) Conference sponsored by the North American
Regional Science Council (NARSC) and the Southern Regional Science
Association (SRSA). The conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency, on
the riverfront near the historic district of Savannah, from Wednesday,
November 7 to Saturday, November 10th 2007.
The annual North American RSAI conference is the premier regional science
meeting in North America and attracts scholars and practitioners from
around
the world. We advise you to make your reservations early to secure your
own
spot on the premises of what will be another memorable event.
Conference organizers welcome individual papers and organized sessions
relating to a wide variety of topics inclusive within the diverse realm of
regional science. We are an international scholarly organization that
focuses on regional analysis, ranging from urban and spatial theory to
applied problems in regional development, sustainability, environmental
management, and rural land use. As an interdisciplinary association, we
have members representing fields as diverse as economics, agricultural
economics,
public policy, urban planning, civil engineering, geography, finance, and
demography.
