Abstract
The heightened occurrence and escalation of both natural and human-induced hazards, such as hurricanes, floods, and industrial accidents, have had adverse impacts on community health, well-being, and sustainability. Enhancing community resilience to the hazards is one of the top priorities for researchers and policymakers. The sport industry is a potential economic driver, generating significant tangible and intangible community benefits in region-based resilience development. Despite the community benefits of the sport industry at the community level, there has been limited research that visualized the community-level effects of sport industry on community resilience. This study aims to investigate how the sport industry impacts community resilience in a spatially heterogeneous manner. To achieve the purpose, a geographically weighted regression (GWR) was utilized for conducting spatial regression analysis on a dataset related to community resilience at the county level. The analysis also examined the clustering of 16 distinct sport industries within 67 counties in Florida. The findings of the study suggest that the concentration of 10 sport industries exhibited either a positive or negative correlation with community resilience. Furthermore, these relationships were spatially heterogeneous. Such findings can help sport researchers and community sport policymakers establish localized community sport development policies within regional sport industry sectors.

Description
The journal has an applied focus: it actively promotes the importance of geographical research in real world settings
It is policy-relevant: it seeks both a readership and contributions from practitioners as well as academics
The substantive foundation is spatial analysis: the use of quantitative techniques to identify patterns and processes within geographic environments
The combination of these points, which are fully reflected in the naming of the journal, establishes a unique position in the marketplace.
RationaleA geographical perspective has always been crucial to the understanding of the social and physical organisation of the world around us. The techniques of spatial analysis provide a powerful means for the assembly and interpretation of evidence, and thus to address critical questions about issues such as crime and deprivation, immigration and demographic restructuring, retailing activity and employment change, resource management and environmental improvement. Many of these issues are equally important to academic research as they are to policy makers and Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy aims to close the gap between these two perspectives by providing a forum for discussion of applied research in a range of different contexts
Topical and interdisciplinaryIncreasingly government organisations, administrative agencies and private businesses are requiring research to support their ‘evidence-based’ strategies or policies. Geographical location is critical in much of this work which extends across a wide range of disciplines including demography, actuarial sciences, statistics, public sector planning, business planning, economics, epidemiology, sociology, social policy, health research, environmental management.
FocusApplied Spatial Analysis and Policy will draw on applied research from diverse problem domains, such as transport, policing, education, health, environment and leisure, in different international contexts. The journal will therefore provide insights into the variations in phenomena that exist across space, it will provide evidence for comparative policy analysis between domains and between locations, and stimulate ideas about the translation of spatial analysis methods and techniques across varied policy contexts. It is essential to know how to measure, monitor and understand spatial distributions, many of which have implications for those with responsibility to plan and enhance the society and the environment in which we all exist.
Readership and Editorial BoardAs a journal focused on applications of methods of spatial analysis, Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy will be of interest to scholars and students in a wide range of academic fields, to practitioners in government and administrative agencies and to consultants in private sector organisations. The Editorial Board reflects the international and multidisciplinary nature of the journal.
