What the Russians call stranovedenie is a cognate of the German term Ländkerkunde, meaning the study of areal combinations of phenomena. Although the word for country is embodied in the Russian term, the discipline has studied both foreign countries
and Soviet regions, and both Soviet geographies of foreign countries and the various regional geographic series of monographs on the Soviet Union fall within the framework of stranovedenie. The author discusses the position of this subfield within the system
Everywhere human beings show a tendency to perceive reality as consisting of both discrete elements and continuous processes. Individuals wish to draw boundaries around the parts they know, but to see them as an integrated whole| they want
to be both protected from other persons and linked fraternally with them. They hope that their life runs smoothly and yet know that it is subject to drastic change, and finally they all confront as individuals the irreducible fact of death, that last
Air-photographs became the important basic material of largescale maps and with its photogrammetric interpretation we save both significant financial means and much time. (CK).
Geographical space is the most frequent case of cartographical interpretation. It is conceived more widely by compilation of synthetical maps. Attention is paid to the problems of both cartographical representation of metrics and spatial
Natural hazards lie in the domain of both geography teachers and hazard managers but their ideologies and agendas may differ. If geography is to contribute to hazard mitigation, these differences must be addressed. Developments in environmental
Three accuracy assessment techniques are applied to determine the accuracy of landsat information. The techniques may be used for both large and small areas. - (AJC)
In two experiments, college students studied a reference map that was varied in both grid structure and the conceptual similarity of its features. The results support an encoding primority model in which the interpretative framework of a map is used
44pictures representing 4 different letters in a 710 frame are discriminated without errors. Pertinent features are extracted using simultaneous mapping of both sets of points and pictures. The AA. suggest possible generalizations
Environmental problems are a challenge for both the geography and ecology to work out a synthesis in landscape ecology and harmonise nature conservation and economic development. After physical geography contemporary human geography is taking part
Eustasy can no longer be defined as world wide simultaneous changes in sea level, but must be redefined as ocean level changes or any absolute sea level changes regardless of causation and including both the vertical and horizontal changes
It is proposed that both mechanisms are already appreciated by geomorphologists and that rather than offering an alternative or replacement of any part of the conventional models of landscape development, they illustrate principles already
GEOGRAPHICAL STRUCTURE, WHICH SHALL NOT BE CONFUSED WITH THE STRUCTURE OF A SYSTEM, IS A GEOGRAPHICAL SPACE ORGANISED BY A SYSTEM| IT HAS AN OPERATIONAL VALUE TO THE EXTENT THAT IT INCORPORATES BOTH CHOROLOGICAL AND TAXONOMIC FACTS. THE SYSTEM
The system aims to produce such map information as simultaneously displays both the most and the least suitable sites for a freely chosen economic activity in a freely chosen territory. The program compares the database and the suitability
The concept of place implies both existing space (place) and the image for this place. Places and places names are given a variety of meanings and values by the personal place image. By decoding these meanings we can explain human behaviour
work on the exact expression of probabilistic laws and particularly on the normal model. Here the A. has tried to quote at the same time both Fischer's geometrical ideas, his experimental and inductive rules.
This paper is a review of many of the techniques, both relative and absolute, that have been developed to provide information as to the dating of sea-level changes. These techniques include: historical and archaeological evidence, lichenometry
Redundancy in cartographic symbolization facilitates information transfer as measured by both errors (percentage correct responses) and time to respond (reaction time). This conclusion is drawn using empirical testing of four visual cues associated
