The structure of « local image » in the Tokyo ward area and surrounding districts
The purpose of this paper is to attempt to clarify the structure of local image as people consciously perspective it, with a target area of localities in the Tokyo Ward area and its surrounding districts, on the basis of images that people have
Declining groundwater level of the Minjur Aquifer, Tebrak area, Saudi Arabia
The Tebrak area affords a typical example of the country's agricultural expansion and groundwater management problems. Since irrigated agriculture in the Tebrak area, as well as in most of the country, is mainly dependent on groundwater, the purpose
of this paper is to highlight the problems of groundwater development in this desert area and the need for careful conservation and efficient use of this vital resource.
Cal Parisa basin (eastern Spain), was selected as a representative of extensive areas on clayey bedrock formerly used for farming, nowadays almost abandoned, where badlands are of great importance as far as sediment production is concerned.
Altitudinal zonation of selected geomorphological phenomena in an alpine periglacial area (Abisko, northern Sweden)
The objective of this study is the search for an altitudinal zonation of geomorphological phenomena in a small, alpine, periglacial area. Because the Abisko region shows a large altitudinal range, a variety of geomorphological phenomena and a minor
human influence, an area of 700 km2 was considered to form a suitable fieldwork area.

The changing function and position of rural areas in Europe was selected the topic of an international workshop in Utrecht September 1991. The aim was to get an overall picture of current developments in rural areas in a numbver of European
Housing occupancy ; Scotland ; Segregation ; Social class ; Social group ; Social segregation ; United Kingdom ; Urban area
Small area statistics from the 1981 census are used as the data base and the degree of segregation in 262 urban areas is measured using Morgan's index of residential differentiation. It is hypothesised that the degree of segregation in each

Stereoscopic air photographs from 1944/5 and 1976/81 were used to identify eroded areas in the Tugela catchment area. No difference was detected between African and European lands and the extent of erosion declined. - (AJC)
Photogeological study of Cenozoic landform evolution in the Cooktown area, north Queensland, Australia
The present study describes a number of significant photogeological observations in the Cooktown area, and attempts to link these into a morphotectonic model of Cenozoic landform evolution in the region. This model supports an earlier hypothesis
Relationship between discharge, velocity and flow area for rills eroding loose, non-layered materials
Belgium ; Carrying capacity ; Catchment area;Watershed ; Channel geometry ; Land use ; Model ; Rill wash;Runoff ; Soil erosion
A relationship betwen discharge, flow velocity and flow area in rills is established using data from four field and laboratory studies. The proposed relationship may be used to improve performance of deterministic flow routing models when applied
Large sorted stone polygons, and ventifact distribution, in the Syrkadal area, Scania, S. Sweden
Cold area ; Ice wedge ; Periglacial features ; Soil wedge polygon ; Sweden
Large sorted polygons in Syrkadal Valley are described. The polygons are interpreted as post-dating the ventifacts of the area, and probably formed during the time span from the deglaciation to the end of Older Dryas (12 050 BP). They were probably
Correlation between rainfall and dust occurrence at Mildura, Australia : the difference between local and source area rainfalls
The AA. use dust records at Mildura, Australia along with observed wind directions during dust storms and events and both local and regional source area rainfall for the period 1960-1989 to test the adequacy of using local rainfall and to show
the improvement that could be achieved by using regional rainfall in the likely dust source area.
Regional innovation policy. Case-studies from the Ruhr area, Baden-Württemberg and the North East of England
The main objective of this study is to identify, compare and monitor the latest trends in regional innovation policies and initiatives to restructure and stimulate the regional economy in two old industrial areas, namely the Ruhr area and the North
