This paper, calling attention to the practice and theory of regional development at home and abroad, suggests that the selective development strategy should be adopted in the forthcoming 20 to 30 years, so as to transit from uneven to relatively

Tourism in South Africa is a strategic sector and potentially one of the driving forces of the economy in the 21st century. In this paper the focus is upon the consequences and development issues surrounding tourism and Spatial Development
Initiatives. The case of Maputo Corridor illustrates the challenges that are faced in terms of planning for tourism-led development. - (AJC)
Morphological development of dunes in a subarctic environment, central Kobuk Valley, northwestern Alaska
The morphology of the dune fields is described by airphoto interpretation supplemented by field observations. Dune forms indicate that both present-day and former wind directions are parallel to the valley axis. Therefore it is proposed that wind
Consideration of the structure and morphology of the study area as a whole, as well as that of a small constructional volcanic hill suggests that it evolved in two phases. The principal phase of development involved a period of crustal extension
and volcanic activity at a spreading centre, and the second phase involved a period of off-axis volcanic and tectonic activity.
, their basin axis, and the main ridge. The first step in the dividing process is to identify the first-order ridges between the catchment areas of all basins. Based on the selected basins, the resulting parts of the mountain range can be regarded
as orographical units. The second-order division starts the same way: The main basins are divided into a number of second-order basins, chosen among basins of bigger rivers, joining the main ridge or a first-order ridge and running directly down to the axis
of the main basins. So called geographical (mountain) groups can be developed from the systematical groups by adaptation. Only 6 basic cases of adaptation are possible.

Against the background of altered conditions (above all, as a result of the opening of the eastern borders) and diverse speculations about new Central European development axes and urban agglomerations, this contribution considers the actual
and the balanced development of areas connected with a communication network. Attention was paid to the subject of forming a system of green open areas, recreation space, shaping along the communication axis. The green areas have a spacial significance
The topic is connected with the issue green and open area development referring to the theory of corridors and taking into consideration foundations of the conception. The theme of analysis looks into the issue of environment preservation
in the functioning of the natural environment. Corridors could be classified from the point of view of their functional meaning, but also the intensity of flow and the movement. Type of development in the corridor depends on the role of the green and open spaces
