Despite the growing progression of regional economic integration as a driving factor for national development, the spatial dynamics of industrial interdepend-ence in Bangladesh's southern coastal zone remain insufficiently theorized and empirically underexplored. The research addresses this gap by e...

Ethnic density is widely used in epidemiology and health geography as a contextual exposure, yet it is rarely examined as a measurement problem in its own right. Equivalent percentage values may represent different neighbourhood contexts across groups and places, particularly where migration, religi...
