An unconditional competing risk hazard model of consumer store-choice dynamics

An unconditional competing risk hazard model of consumer store-choice dynamics

Kompetenzfeldwirtschaft im Ruhrgebiet

The roots of the fields of competencies approach in the Ruhr area reaching back to the mid of the 1990s. Changes in structural policy which resulted in this approach are discussed in the first part of this paper. The second part looks

at this approach in more detail, its focus is on expectations, potentials and implementations structure. Because an evaluation of this approach still is missing, the arguments are based on theoretical reflections, expert interviews and plausibility. The concluding

Sharing the risk of home-ownership : a portfolio approach

Sharing the risk of home-ownership : a portfolio approach
Acquiring property ; Household behaviour ; Housing ; Housing cost ; Housing occupance ; Investment ; Model ; Risk
The paper examines the relationships among the desirability of home-ownership, price risks and the return of housing investment. It argues that price risks may undermine the desirability of ownership. It shows that larger price risks and higher
level of risk aversion decrease the attractiveness of owning a house.

Systemkompetenz : Forschungsstand und Forschungsfragen

Terminological considerations show that it makes sense to use terms like “competence of system thinking” and “system thinking” as synonymous, whereas both don’t incorporate the level of action as well. While an extensive literature review
in and outside of geographical sciences documents the broad application of systemic approaches, it also reveals that there is little empirically-based knowledge on this topic. One of the recent prominent studies in this area deals with the question if elementary
school students are competent in system thinking. The answer is clearly yes. Furthermore, it is evident that the competence of system thinking is composed of several different subcomponents, that there are indications of a domain-independency
of the competence of system thinking and that this competence is influenced by interest as well as preliminary knowledge. From a geographical education point of view one of the questions to be explored is which preliminary knowledge of geographical issues learners
bring with. With regard to develop models of competency of system thinking there are existing models which can be used, but they all show deficiencies: They consider neither man-environment interactions nor different scales. To afford the high demanded

Natural hazard mapping across the world. A comparative study between a social approach and an economic approach to vulnerability

Natural hazard mapping across the world. A comparative study between a social approach and an economic approach to vulnerability
The aim of the paper is to present a comparative study of risk exposure for each country, combining two approaches to their vulnerability (social and economic), and a probabilistic approach to hazards. This work highlights the fact that, using
a social approach to vulnerability, great inequalities are observed between “rich” countries and “poor” countries where the latter present higher levels of exposure to risk, while using an economic approach to vulnerability, “rich” countries present
the highest levels of exposure to risk.

Neoliberal reason and its forms : de-politicisation through economisation

This paper examines the development of three competing post-war economic approaches of neolib-eralism. First, it shows that neoliberalism includes not only “pro-” but also “post-market” positions articulated by post-Walrasian economists. Second
, that the Austrian tradition is distinguished from the Chicago-style pro-marketism; and the implications of the differences among the three approaches on economic as well as socio-political life are discussed. It maintains that all three approaches promote the de

Urban hierarchies and territorial competition in Europe: exploring the role of fairs and exhibitions

Community-based scenario modelling and disaster risk assessment of urban rainstorm waterlogging

Community-based scenario modelling and disaster risk assessment of urban rainstorm waterlogging
China ; Climatic change ; Climatic hazard ; Inundation ; Model ; Natural hazards ; Rainstorm ; Risk management ; Scenario ; Shanghai ; Urban climate ; Vulnerability
The AA. used a small-scale integrated methodology to assess risks relating to rainstorm waterlogging hazards in the Jing’an District of Shanghai. Based on the basic concept of disaster risk, this paper applies scenario modelling to express the risk
of small-scale urban rainstorm waterlogging disasters in different return periods. A grid-based Geographical Information System (GIS) approach, including an urban terrain model, an urban rainfall model and an urban drainage model, was applied to simulate
inundation area and depth. A framework was also developed for coupling the waterlogging risk with the risk planning and management through the exceedance probability curve and annual average waterlogging loss. This is a new exploration for small-scale urban
natural disaster scenario simulation and risk assessment.

A Wildland-Urban Interface Typology for Forest Fire Risk Management in Mediterranean Areas

A Wildland-Urban Interface Typology for Forest Fire Risk Management in Mediterranean Areas
Environmental management ; Forest ; Forest fire ; GIS ; Geographical information system ; Landscape ; Landscape analysis ; Mediterranean area ; Preventive measure ; Risk ; Sierra Calderona ; Urban fringe ; Vulnerability ; fire risk ; landscape
The transitional areas that lie between wildlands and urbanized spaces, generally defined as wildland-urban interfaces (WUI), represent an increasing risk factor in Mediterranean areas; these define a new scenario in forest fire fighting
and prevention. We have developed a methodological approach in order to assess the hazard and vulnerability of WUI which is based on landscape analysis, on the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques and remote sensing. Unlike traditional
approaches which are based on local scale characterization of WUI, we propose a progressive multi-scale approach. In order to reach an operative classification of the WUI the methodology was developed in three stages: a regional urban development model
