Innovation diffusion as a spatial process. HAGERSTRAND, T. 1968. 00000
abstract   bibtex   
The spread of innovations is measured by mapping their distribution at successive periods, a technique with considerable methodological significance for various areas of social science research. Two classes of innovation are analysed: (1) the spread of bovine tuberculosis controls, grazing improvement subsidies and other agricultural innovations, and (2) automobiles, telephones and postal banking services. Throughout, the focus is on the process rather than the materials of diffusion. Private communication is found to be a far more powerful agent of diffusion than public announcement. The most original components of the work are the two types of process models developed. The first is a descriptive and inductive model of the spatial stages of innovation diffusion; the second, a series of Monte Carlo simulation models. In a postscript, A. Pred briefly treats Hagerstrand's work outside the field of innovation diffusion and assesses the impact of Hagerstrand's model-construction technique both upon geographic inquiry and upon other areas of research. The book was originally published in Swedish in 1953. p.
