Evaluating the links between housing change and economic change
Housing change is seen as an important element of regeneration in itself, but is further seen to have wider impacts on the economy of urban areas. The dimensions of these impacts are explored and a framework for evaluating the scale of the spillover
Changes since the nineteenth century to the estuary-barrier complexes of North County Dublin
and changed run-off characteristics. The relationship between the estuaries and the estuary mouth forms the basis of the interpretation presented. Disruption of the tidal regime has led to substantial hydrodynamic and morphological changes, triggering complex
autogenic changes between the various components of the coastal system.

Changes in the inhabitants' way of life in their quest for a financially more rewarding pursuit are reviewed and residents' attitudes in four Austrian alpine communities regarding changes in family life, community welfare, community growth
, and the environment are examined. The current situation regarding the importance of economic considerations and continued growth is analyzed against the backdrop of societal changes and characteristics of theses communities.

Il existe tant de définitions divergentes du climat, du changement climatique et des variations climatiques qu'il serait utopique de prétendre apporter à la question posée une réponse définitive et susceptible de rallier tous les suffrages.―(JPB)
La stabilité du taux de change du rouble de juin à septembre 1993 a fait croire à une stabilisation de l'économie. En réalité, l'inflation est loin d'avoir été endiguée, elle avoisine les niveaux critiques de l'hyperinflation ; néanmoins, l'été 1993
a bien été marqué par un revirement efficace de la politique de change.
In the last two decades concern with global environmental change has brought the role of anthropogeomorphology into sharper focus. Global warming, if it occurs, will have important implications for many geomorphological processes and phenomena
as a result of the direct effects of warming, as a consequence of other related climatic changes (e.g. précipitation change) and as a result of climatically moderated changes in major geomorphologically significant variables (e.g. vegetation cover
). Geomorphologists need, inter alia, to establish long-term study sites that will generate base-line data, to monitor the location and rate of change using sequential cartographic and remote sensing materials, to determine information on natural background levels
Changing urban systems in post-communist societies in Central Europe : analysis and prediction
The paper is concerned with three levels of urban system changes : changes in the intra-urban structure of cities after the collapse of the communist regimes, changes in the national or state urban systems, and changes in the international system
Contribution to the assessment of changes in land use (on an example of recreation environs of Prague)
The analysis of land use changes of wider territories, zones, regions and districts are based on Basic Territorial Units in the years 1845-1948-1986. A comparison of area structure development is demonstrated in the selected districts and especially

The A. starts with the question of the atmospheric environment and quality of life and then studies the quality of climate and population response. He concludes with the implications of climate change for both environmental quality and quality
The current global warming controversy has sparked vigorous research activity, the ultimate aim of which is to undersatnd the effects of predicted climatic changes on both natural and managed ecosystems. Pointers from the past geological record
Changes in the hypsometric curve through mountain building resulting from concurrent tectonics and denudation
This paper simulates how the shapes of the hypsometric curves change through mountain building resulting from concurrent tectonics and denudation. Next, it discusses the relationship of the hypsometric curve to the stage of a geomorphic cycle
Five maps of residential desirability at the level of the state that span the years 1977-1991 are compared. Reveals two things : 1) attitudes toward states by some university students in New York City; and 2) place perception changes over time.―(DWG)

Changes in the structure of food retail and wholesale: effects on energy demand
The paper investigates the distribution chain of foodstuffs from the factory to the consumer, from the point of view of the different energy inputs needed. Connections between the changes in the structure of the distribution system and changes
