摘要: Abstract The paper presents a comprehensive analysis to explore the environmental vulnerability pattern of Mid-Atlantic region. It is combination several methods – stressor–resource overlay, state-space analysis, and clustering at different steps analysis. In addition, generalized distance measure was utilized in handle interdependency among variables without reducing their dimensionality. Results from provided valuable insights on conditions, general, relative pattern, particular, suggested method offers simple but effective way understand complex spatial regional scale.
