Les ajustements spatiaux propres au processus d'établissement ne sont pas entièrement pris en compte et distinguent mal les immigrants récemment arrivés des groupes précédents : ceux qui se sont établis après une série de déménagements ou ceux qui
Spatial mismatch is not always a central-city problem : an analysis of commuting behaviour in Cleveland, Ohio, and its suburbs

Cette étude de cas à Cleveland vise à distinguer deux types de spatial mismatch caractérisant les deux groupes de population qui effectuent les plus longues migrations alternantes (les Afro-Américains et les habitants de la city). Comparaison de la
Location strategies of the soviet pulp and paper industry
strategies, which make it possible to identify four different periods. Cross section analysis of the location pattern is conducted on three levels: macro, mill group and individual mills. The macro analysis attempts to explain the areal variation of paper
The location patterns of the Soviet pulp and paper industry are seen as a result of conscious investment strategies. In the historical analysis, all new pulp and paper mills built or planned in 1928-85 are interpreted as implementations of location
production as a function of raw materials, markets and cost differentials. Identification of areal mill groups is based on structural mill typology, suggesting also certain traits of environmental determinism. In the analysis of individual mill sites, certain
deviations from minimum cost location are observed.

This paper investigates the relationships between neighbourhoods defined by people living or working in Cardiff. Young and retired people both have the largest neighbourhoods, possibly because both have more time to spend in their local area than
and work in the same place. People living or working in close spatial proximity did not necessarily share the same neighbourhood definitions despite having similar personal characteristics.

This article uses multilevel models based on official register data covering the total Swedish working population to explore how home–work distance varied among workers and across residential areas between 1990 and 2010. The results indicate growing

The paper presents an approach for spatial correlation analysis for count variables by comparing their cumulative spatial distributions. Using the concept of LSCDF in classical statistics, it shows that location-specific and its associated K-S-like

A l'occasion de la nouvelle édition de l'ouvrage de P. Haggett, Locationalanalysis in human geography, l'A. fait le point sur 10ans de recherche en analyse spatiale, à partir des articles parus en 1977 dans des revues de géographie théorique ou de
science régionale. L'A. prend le contrepied social de l'analyse spatiale en insistant sur le rôle des propriétés de l'espace sur le comportement social des groupes ou des individus. (Cch).

Fog water collection and reforestation at a mountain location in a western Mediterranean basin region: air-mass origins and synoptic analysis
An inland mountainous location in eastern Spain was selected for reforestation studies based on the fog water collection potential prevailing in the area and the high level of land degradation. Bulk fog-water catches were stored and used in a micro
for afforestation activities. Fog formation is explained in terms of air mass origin and pathway, atmospheric conditions and orographic features. Statistical analysis of the winds bearing fog and the periodicity of fog collection provide the particular

Applying location theory and quantitative analysis, the classification and hierarchy of shopping centres and the factors affecting shopping centre location is attempted for urban Shanghai. Cluster analysis is applied to classify 61 major shopping
centres. Grouping is based on the method of data standardization-oblique space-shortest distance linkage which forms the basis for recognising a hierarchy of three levels and five types numbering 1, 3, 5, 12, 40 respectively. Suggestions are given
Workplace location, modal split and energy use for commuting trips
Commuting ; Distance travelled ; Energy consumption ; Journey to work ; Multivariate analysis ; Norway ; Oslo ; Workplace
A study of six companies in Greater Oslo indicates that both the modal split and the energy use for journeys to work are to a high extent influenced by the geographical location of the workplace. Employees of workplaces in peripheral, low-density
parts of the urban area are far more frequent car drivers and use more energy than employees of workplaces located in central areas. An immediate increase in commuting distance of a workplace moving to the urban fringe has not been reversed by subsequent
