Abstract: Abstract Geographically distributed observations have characteristics and peculiarities that should be appropriately considered when we are designing a survey. In fact, traditional sampling designs may be inadequate when investigating geo-coded data, because they do not capture any spatial homogeneity that may be present. The presence of this spatial effect may be inherent to the phenomenon under investigation, so it is desirable and appropriate that we consider this information in the sampling design. In this chapter we discuss the main spatial sampling designs, also with applications, that have been recently introduced in literature.
