Geographically weighted colocation quotients : specification and application
The AA. analyse geographically weighted colocation quotients through specification and application. Firstly, they generaliseLeslie and Kronenfeld's global measure as well as specify a local counterpart for each global statistic using two different
types of spatial filters : fixed and adaptive. These geographically weighted colocation quotients are applied to the spatial distribution of housing types to demonstrate their utility and interpretation.

L'article a pour but de situer le géographe Paul Vidal de la Blache (1845-1918) dans un lent processus d'institutionnalisation de la géographie, entre la fin du XIXe et le début du XXe siècle, et dans son évolution personnelle du métier d’historien
à celui de géographe. Ses travaux sur la Méditerranée sont très importants pour nos objectifs, car ils traversent toute sa carrière, y compris quand il était historien. La formation de Vidal de la Blache comme historien à l'École Normale Supérieure
et à l'École française d'Athènes, et les relations qu'il a eu avec les historiens (même quand il était déjà reconnu comme géographe), ont marqué sa formation et sa carrière. C’est grâce à ce croisement entre disciplines qu’il élabore une conception
originale du « temps géographique ». C'est cette notion que nous cherchons à définir et analyser comme un outil méthodologique important pour l'étude de la géographie humaine et, notamment, pour le géographe de terrain.
Representing Spain : cultural image and geographic knowledge in National Geographic’s articles on Spain (1888–1936)
Cultural icon ; Geographical periodical ; Historical geography ; Knowledge ; Nineteenth Century ; Spain ; Twentieth Century
This article analyzes the vision of Spain conveyed by National Geographic Magazine (NGM) in the period from 1888 to 1936. Firstly, it examines the connections between the type of representations typically found in NGM and the cultural stereotypes
A new kind of beauty out of the underlying scaling of geographic space
Architecture ; Connectivity ; France ; Geographical space ; Ile-de-France ; Kansas ; Paris ; Population density ; Scale ; Space ; Street ; United States of America
Geographic space demonstrates scaling or hierarchy, implying that there are far more small things than large ones. The scaling pattern of geographic space, if visualized properly can evoke a sense of beauty. This beauty is a new type of aesthetic
work The Nature of Order. To paraphrase Mandelbrot, this is beauty for the sake of science rather than for art's sake or for the sake of commerce. Throughout the article, we attempt to argue and illustrate that the scaling of geographic space possesses

Climate extremes in the United States : recent research by physical geographers

This paper reports a review of research on domestic climate extremes conducted by US physical geographers over the past 15 years. Sections cover extremes in wind, precipitation, lightning, and temperature, as well as derivative climate extremes
of the extreme's economic and human costs; lessons for assessment, policy, and management; and scale. The AA. conclude that most of the works reviewed inadequately address the human basis of vulnerability to climate extremes, and encourage physical geographers
The geographical position, system and modelling of golf tourism
The paper aims to present the spatial assumptions related to the tourism theory and the geographical correlations of golf tourism. It attempts to define the concept and to study golf as a tourism product in a systemic approach : it presents its

Geographical narratives of social capital : telling different stories about the socio-economy with context, place, power and agency
On souhaite un nouvel engagement des géographes par rapport au concept de capital social et par rapport aux discours sur les processus socio-économiques sous-jacents. On passe en revue la théorie du capital social afin d'illustrer comment un désir

This study integrates past research methodologies, data from the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN), and geographic information system techniques to assess the lightning and severe weather hazard relationship for the 27–28 April 2011 United
lightning flashes alone do not provide enough information for the detection of a lightning jump prior to tornadogenesis. All 7 supercells were dominated by negative-polarity CG lightning flashes; which is expected due to the geographic location and elevated
study area and 10×10 km grid cells, respectively), how landscape-scale forest-topography relationships vary geographically, and which potential drivers (topographic heterogeneity, forest cover, clay content, coastal/inland location) determine
this geographic heterogeneity. It is shown that explanatory power of topography at landscape scale was moderately dependent on the potential drivers, with topographic control being strongest in areas with high topographic heterogeneity and little forest cover
. However, these conditioning effects were themselves geographically variable. The findings show that topography by shaping human land-use can affect forest distribution even in flat, lowland regions, but especially via localized, geographically variable
