Probleme des Einsatzes von Geographischen Informationssystemen für sozio-ökonomische Fragestellungen

Cartography ; Geographical information system ; Model ; Socio-economic system
Socio-economic themes are related to scale. Scale determines the data structures, the aggregation or disaggregation and concerns possible analysis. The multitude of GIS-functions and their combined use in cartographic models masks deficits
in the modelling of socio-economic spatial processes with GIS. Socio-economic GIS does not only need flexible spatial data structures but also flexible thematic dada structures. - (TH)

Externals economics and agglomeration: an appraisal of macro scale Studies of polarization

Externals economics and agglomeration: an appraisal of macro scale Studies of polarization
an economic rationale to explain agglomeration, resting upon the local availability of external economies of scale, although their evidence is largely indirect and circumstantial. More direct evidence exists to support a behavioural rationale for the growth
An attempt is made to replicate for the New Zealand space economy the macro-level studies of industrial agglomeration and the polarization of economic activity using complex methodologies applied to input-output data. These studies have employed
and continuance of agglomeration. The paper demonstrates that a range of methodologies applied to New Zealand input-output data and spatial association data yields method specific results. There is a wider implication that an economic rationale for agglomeration

Beyond Crofting: Assessing Change on Scotland's Small-Scale Holdings

Beyond Crofting: Assessing Change on Scotland's Small-Scale Holdings
Land ; Livestock farming ; Periurban development ; Rural area ; Scale ; Scotland ; United Kingdom ; agricultural census ; hobby farming ; horsiculture ; smallholding
In this paper, we go ‘beyond crofting’ to assess the changes to both croft and non-croft small-scale land management in Scotland from 2000 to 2011, through an analysis of agricultural census statistics. We find that although small-scale holdings
(defined as holdings of less than 10 ha) occupy a very small percentage of Scotland's agricultural land, they account for 19.6% of Scotland's agricultural labour. Small-scale holdings also play important roles within the commercial poultry and horticulture
sectors, and house 35.9% of reported horses. Small-scale land management is increasing throughout Scotland, but with evident regional distinctions. Upland and island holdings (many of which are crofts) have seen substantial reductions in their sheep
numbers as part of the wider reduction in agricultural activity associated with 2005 Common Agricultural Policy reforms. In contrast, sheep numbers are growing on small-scale holdings in the lowlands, underpinned by a complex mix of commercial
and lifestyle drivers. We highlight that benefits traditionally associated with crofting, such as population retention and rural development, could also be associated with small-scaling holding in general. However, the increase in small-holding and retention

The influences of urban form and transport infrastructure on economic performance show up in several contemporary policy debates. The paper probes these relationships using two scales of analysis. At the macro scale, an econometric analysis using
of the San Francisco Bay Area reinforces the finding of the macro-scale analysis.

Evaluating environmental sensitivity at the basin scale through the use of geographic information systems and remotely sensed data : an example covering the Agri basin (Southern Italy)

Evaluating environmental sensitivity at the basin scale through the use of geographic information systems and remotely sensed data : an example covering the Agri basin (Southern Italy)
) along with regional scale information layers related to selected environmental and socio-economic factors.
The aim of this study is to develop a methodological reference framework, for use at the basin scale, from which environmental sensitivity can be evaluated. The results of a 3-year investigation into the degradation processes related
to desertification in the Agri basin environment (Southern Italy) are presented. Different degradation stages or desertification risks are also evaluated at the plot scale. These data, and the derived results, are integrated into a Geographic Information System (GIS

Labouring geography : negotiating scales, strategies and future directions. Themed issue

Labouring geography : negotiating scales, strategies and future directions. Themed issue
Labour ; Neo liberalism ; Scale ; Trade unionism ; Transnationalism ; Work organization
The contributions address some of the issues raised by those who have recently taken stock of labour geography's early years. First, there is the key question of labour as an active agent in the production of economic landscapes. Second
, there are debates surrounding the production of scale and the multiscalarity of organized labour. Third, labour geographers have yet to engage in any sustained fashion with unpacking the complex identities of workers and the way in which those identities are shaped
by and shape the economic and cultural landscape. Fourth, there is some debate on the costs and benefits of a normative labour geography which focuses on what could or even should be.

The present paper aims at choosing indexes, identifying and characterizing the success areas in general scale, as well as giving the examples and determining the key factors behind economic recovery in some rural areas. The success areas were
identified on the basis of the established economic growth indicator, migration balances, fluctuations in the own revenues of gminas, as well as changes in the number of economic entities registered in the Regon system. - (BJ)
