Special Issue on Regional Research

Regional Research focuses on the study of geographic areas, examining their economic, social, political, and environmental dynamics. It explores regional development, spatial planning, and the interactions between local and global factors that shape territories. This interdisciplinary field integrates insights from geography, economics, sociology, and political science to address issues such as urbanization, resource management, regional disparities, and policy-making. By analyzing regional trends and challenges, Regional Research contributes to informed decision-making, sustainable development, and the optimization of regional policies for balanced and inclusive growth.
