Western Section (WRSA)

Western Regional Science Association

Founded in 1961, the Western Regional Science Association (WRSA) is an international multidisciplinary group of university scholars and government and private-sector practitioners dedicated to the scientific analysis of regions.  WRSA is known around the world for the quality of its signature "seminar-style" invited paper sessions.  Full papers (not just abstracts) must be submitted by our traditional October 15 deadline (draft version okay at this stage, with conference version due no later than December 31).  At the conference, each paper is allocated 45 full minutes of Program time -- inclusive of the remarks of an assigned discussant and open discussion with session attendees.  All paper presenters can expect to be assigned discussant and/or chair duties.
WRSA Annual Meeting paper sessions are organized on topics such as: Resource Utilization, Impact Analysis, Regional Modeling, Location of Economic Activity, Regional and Urban Planning, Environmental Quality, Regional Development Issues, Interregional Migration, Transportation Problems, Locational Criteria for Public Services and Facilities, Housing -- Financing and Renewal, Tourism and Recreation, and Energy Issues.
