The impact of property taxes and property tax classification on business activity in the Chicago metropolitan area
The empirical analysis finds evidence consistent with the notion that property tax classification contributes to differential rates of economic growth. High property tax rates lead to significantly slower growth rates for employment, commercial
Integrated management, as a process which extends across resource disciplines and sectors, has been difficult to achieve, because property institutions appear to be of foremost influence. The A. draws upon a field study in a Canadian Inuit society
and evaluates several kinds of property. The common system fosters an integrated approach, which is less likely to emerge under state or private property regimes.
This paper reports on properties of soils on two contiguous hillslopes, spanning over 1000 m from upper to lower slope positions. The objective was to determine catenary related variation in soil properties and to interpret pedogenesis on the two
Complex confining layers. A stochastic analysis of hydraulic properties at various scales
This volume presents a study of the problem of characterizing the hydraulic properties, i.e. hydraulic conductivity and effective porosity, and ground water flow of complex confining layers at various scales. The study has shown that it is possible
to derive representative hydraulic properties at the scale of model blocks, from hydraulic properties measured at the score scale. - (AGD)
Property finance in Japan: expansion and collapse of the bubble economy

Capital accumulation ; Capitalism ; Economic structure ; Finance ; Inflation ; Japan ; Land value ; Real estate market ; Real estate property
The paper provides an analysis of the recent property boom and collapse in Japan. Central to the analysis is the role of financial institutions in financing the boom. The extraordinary rise in land prices and the land concentration by capital, which
were brought out through expansion of property finance, is examined. The domination of land markets by finance capital, which was accomplished through urban redevelopment in the 1980s, is not in decline as a result of the collapse of the bubble economy
To investigate the properties of different close-packed horizons present in soil evolved from mainly siliceus colluvia and alluvia in a Mediterranean environment several profiles were selected and analysed. - (MR)
The AA. relate the amounts and distribution of P to the nodule content, chemical properties and development stage of soils along a hillslope in northern Ghana with the objective of determining the factors that influence P fertility with respect
The properties of space : history, geography, and gentrification
Canada ; Gentrification ; Housing ; Ideology ; Real estate property ; Redevelopment ; Urban area ; Urban geography
The histories and geographies of property are constituted by and are constitutive of certain ideologies of the social world. These ideologies are broad and complex, touching on domesticity, market relations and citizenship. The language
Variation of some soil properties along two toposequences on quartzite schist and banded gneiss in Southwestern Nigeria
Catena ; Land use ; Nigeria ; Soil ; Soil classification ; Soil properties ; Taxonomy
This study was undertaken to examine the variation of some soil properties along the toposeqence to illustrate the need for such approach to complement soil classification in allocating areas of land to specific uses along the toposequence

Comparison of the properties and development of soils mainly derived from the re-deposited 1883 pyroclastic flows on Rakata, Sertung and Panjang (Krakatau islands).
Dividing the land: early American beginnings of our private property mosaic
Historical geography ; Land ; Landed estate ; Private property ; Settlement ; United States of America
Historical geography of land division in the eastern and southern USA, distinguishing patterns in New England, South Atlantic, Middle Atlantic, Louisiana and Texas. The general ideas of property ownership and division were European, but the specific
