Développement ; Géographie humaine ; Potentiel scientifique ; Technologie
The development of a national scientific and technological potential in developing countries is a vital aspect in their sphere of social and economic life. The authors compare these potentials in different regions of the earth. - (IH)
Beiträge des Geographiemethodikers Alfred Hettner zur Konstituierung der Kartographie als selbständige Wissenschaftsdisziplin. (Contributions of Alfred Hettner, geographical methodologist, to the constituent development of cartography as a separate
scientific discipline)
Cartography as a scientific separate discipline developed from geography and geodesy. At first Alfred Hettner, scientist of geography-methodics, should be mentioned among the geographers who played an important role therein. His activities

Poglad na rozwoj geografii i podzi nauk geograficznych Views on the development of geography and division of geographical sciences
The author expresses the view that geography is a living science, one being in constant development. He calls attention to the traditional approaches in scientific research, as well as to new directions, which gain universal approval with difficulty
Knowledge, uncertainty and physical geography : towards the development of methodologies for questioning belief
in managing environmental systems. In particular, this paper aims to : demonstrate the importance of assessing uncertainty within a realist research framework; consider the nature of scientific uncertainty as the basis for developing methodologies
This paper argues for explicit assessments of uncertainty in environmental data and models as a necessary, although not a sufficient, condition for balancing uncertain scientific arguments against uncertain social, ethical, moral and legal arguments
Special Issue. Recent developments in Quaternary Geology: Implications for Geoscience Education and Research
Quaternary geologists will have to convince government, industry and a variety of scientific groups that they possess unique training and expertise that is needed as part of the thrust to fully understand and/ or resolve major scientific problems
. Therefore, future research and education efforts should not focus on developing a rigidity defined identity within geoscience, but instead should seek ways to be integrated with interdisciplinary teams that will investigate complex environmental and climate
Cartography enjoys great popularity and an increasing scientifically attention. The Geoscience Cartography came more and more in sight in the last years. Digital maps, navigation systems and information systems appoint our everyday life
. These developments are available for more and more people and determine the role of cartography itself and inside the other geosciences.In times of ongoing pictorial and spatial perception of our earth cartography develops to the leading discipline of spatial
perception and plays a scientific interface and intermediately key role inside the context of geoinformatics. - (IfL)
