A position-sensitive sequence-alignment method illustrated for space-time activity-diary data
Distance ; Methodology ; Netherlands (The) ; Space time ; Spatial analysis
Sequence-alignment methods are not appropriate to measure the distances by which activities change their sequential order in activity diaries. The AA. report on the development of a position-sensitive method for activity analysis. The problem
is specified, and the key concepts are addressed. The method is illustrated with data on activity patterns collected in the Netherlands. The A. concludes with a critical discussion of the basic assumptions of the method and avenues of future research

The relationship between women's standing in the public sphere and their activism is problematized. Women's activism is shaped by strategic choices to locate either in public or in private spaces. Publicity and privacy are reconceptualized in ways
that separate the content of actions from the spaces in which action is taken. The activism is evaluated in terms of the efficacy of various actions.
Revisiting time-space diaries : an exploratory case study of tourist behaviour in Cornwall, England
Behaviour ; Cornwall ; Cultural studies ; England ; Enquiry ; Holidays ; Motivation ; Space time ; Tourism ; United Kingdom
The AA. examine the potential contribution of time-space diaries to the analysis of tourism behaviour. They pay attention to how such diaries can provide insights into activities and tourism activityspaces which are not available from tourism
questionnaire surveys. These arguments are illustrated by the results of a time-space diary survey undertaken in Newquay. The AA. explore differences in activities and activityspaces related to the types of accommodation used, occupational and family structures
On the contours of public space : a tale of three women

The AA. suggest that there are significant but neglected connections between the regulation of public space to which S. Hall was subjected at New York in 1879 and the exclusionary effects associated with the regulation of public spaces in western

Believing that personal, textual and political spheres of activity can influence one another in important ways, the A. wants to investigate the potential for an active third space where these sites could be explored, worked through and researched
. The paper elucidates the notion critical engagement to explore this third space. The A. relates his involvement with Glasgow Earth First in the campaign against the M77 motorway.
The importance of teachers' perception of space in education

carefully planned use of space, which demands active inclusion of the public in addition to relevant services. For successful public inclusion it is important for both individuals and social communities to be aware that space is a limited commodity. - (L'A.).
In addition to environmental problems, spatial pressures are also being exacerbated by increasing economic development, the prosperity of the European population, and the increasing needs of various activities. These can only be mitigated through
Activities of private developers and office location in the central region of Hiroshima city
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relation between the development of office space, the location of office renting floor space and the influences of the activities of private developers on business office districts in Hiroshima City
Pleasure and danger: the paradoxical spaces of sexual citizenship
Spaces of citizenship
The spaces of citizenship are considered in relation to sexuality. Various articulations of sexual citizenship, through consumption and activism, are considered in relation to critiques of citizenship theory. Between public and private, between sin

The spatial structure consists of an inland space, a marine space and a port space functioning as a node to combine the former two spaces. Since these spaces are interrelated or combined by the movement of people or materials, fishers' daily
movement is then examinated. With fishing grounds shrinking in size, those along the coast have become important. Local fishers utilise them, and this has caused fish resource management problems. On the other hand, recreational activities play an important
Activityspace ; Behaviour ; Consumption ; England ; Retail trade ; Shopping behaviour ; United Kingdom ; Urban practice
The AA. address questions of shopping as practised and its relation to shopping space. They argue that modes of shopping, which comprise distinctive sets of shopping practices involving relations to goods, relations of looking, the place of shopping
in the rythms of everyday life, and the socialities of sopping, are used to invest meaning in particular types of shopping space and to produce personalised shopping geographies. These arguments are developed in relation to charity shops and charity shopping.
Analysing space-time behaviour : new approaches to old problems
Behaviour ; Logit model ; Space time ; Spatial choice ; Time geography ; Utility fonction
The notion that activity-travel patterns are highly constrained has been frequently used in analytical studies and models of time-space behaviour. The popularity of this field of research lost most of its momentum in geography in the 1990s
, but is now the dominant approach among civil engineers in transportation research. The paper critically reviews these developments. It briefly sommarizes recent developments in space-time research, focusing on empirical and modelling studies. Potential
