<p>
Thanks to advances in locational technologies, data storage, social
media, and
open government, the aspects of human life that can be traced back
through
diverse digital footprints is ever increasing. Thanks to advances in
computing power and software tools, social scientists now have the
resources
to engage with these digital footprints in innovative ways. The
creation of
new (big) datasets, many of them geo-referenced, have the potential to
affect
many fields, from business and industry to government to research.
However,
their adoption by regional scientists so far has been relatively
moderate. In
order to expand debate and attention around new sources of (big) data,
we are
proposing sessions that include 1) papers that actively use these data
to
engage long-standing questions of urban analysis and regional science,
2)
papers that push into new areas of regional science only accessible
through
these data, and 3) papers that explore the relationship of these data
relative
to existing approaches to regional science.
