The journal’s interdisciplinary scope encompasses regional and urban economics, spatial econometric and geographic analysis, regional planning and development, public policy evaluation, demographic shifts, infrastructure and service provision in space, environmental impacts, and spatial modeling methodologies. IRSR publishes original research papers, theoretical syntheses, methodological innovations, and comprehensive surveys that contribute to advancing spatial analysis and its applications to real-world problems. The journal encourages submissions that integrate quantitative and qualitative approaches and that address pressing societal challenges through the lens of regional dynamics. It is indexed in major databases including Scopus and the Social Sciences Citation Index, reflecting its scholarly influence in geography, regional economics, urban studies, and planning research.
