The central map information service in Geographical essays in Hungary.
The thematic contents, scales and ways of representation of present maps are not satisfactory to meet the demands of planners. The geographical coordinates for the identification of centres of information on square grids/simply geocodes
A simulation-based study of geographically weighted regression as a method for investigating spatially varying relationships
Il s'agit d'estimer la capacité de la méthode à distinguer entre un processus constant dans l'espace et un autre processus avec des relations spatiales susceptibles de varier, et d'autre part de rendre fidèlement de telles relations. Des situations
Xhosa-grondeise : simptome van'n onderliggende politiek-geografiese probleem (Xhosa territorial claims : symptoms of an underlying political-geographical problem)
Territorial claims have become of increasing importance as a result of the South African government's policy of apartheid. The Xhosa people, in two states, have raised claims to varying extents of South Africa and for links between Ciskei
Health care facilities in Manguzi health ward : a geographical analysis
The paper reports on an enquiry into the provision of health care facilities in rural northern KwaZulu-Natal. It concludes that there are more varied types of health facilities available for community members than those conventionally found in urban
Magyar foldrajzi nevek két XVI. sz.-i németafoldi konyvben. (Hungarian geographical names in two 16th century Dutch books)
The place names occurring in Adriaans de Jonghe's Nomenclator, omnium rerum propria nomina variis linguis explicata indicans (Antwerpen, 1567) and in Charles de l'Ecluse's Rariorum plantarum Historia (Antwerpen, 1601) are shown on maps.
There is considerable interest across several disciplines in the geographical dimensions of the Enlightenment and of cosmopolitanism. In reviewing this work and in extending from it, the paper proposes a yet deeper understanding of the geographical
bases to these key and related terms. The paper also cautions about too readily tracing intellectual connections between, on the one hand, geographies in and of the Enlightenment and the Enlightenment's varied cosmopolitan geographies with, on the other
, the geographical bases to cosmopolitanism in modern context.
The development of geographic representation in children. Cognitive and affective aspects of model-building behaviour
Children varying in age from 7 to 13 were asked to build a city with modeling toys. The products show a clear development with age which is described as a transition from an egocentric to a topocentric phase. The manipulation of physical structure
precedes the occurrence of most geographical aspects of the products. The genesis of knowledge about city structure seems to be indicated or preceded by an increasing significance of the residential neighbourhood (or lifespace) as an explanatory variable

This paper reports on one series of experiments to evaluate how varying the symbolization of soils on maps and the concomitant legend design affect the map's readility.
Summary of the four main direction in remote sensing research at Stockholm : vegetation mapping, typology of marshlands, monitoring land use change and geographical information system. - (DLO)
Problems related to application of hydrosynoptic approaches for flood protection in Czech Republic. Presented examples are based on data from sub-basins of the Czech Elbe River. The physical-geographic variability of Elbe-basins is a reason
for their varying sensibility to different types of circulation pattern, that are able to generate the flood. - (MS)
Limestone valley systems in north central Jamaica exhibit varied hydrologic regimes which reflect differences in karstic and non-karstic water supply. Valley patterns are influenced considerably by geographical structure, whilst fluvial erosion
Designing robust coverage systems : a maximal covering model with geographicallyvarying failure probabilities
This article proposes a covering model that maximizes the expected coverage of demand by considering the possibility of facility failures in Dublin, Ohio. The proposed model can account for spatially varying failure probabilities and describes
better the underlying geographic processes that cause facility failures. It is posed as a spatial optimization problem using integer linear programming. This article compares two different formulations of the covering model and discuss their properties

Geographic distribution of private car ownership in the USSR
Etude de l'augmentation des voitures privées en URSS depuis 1970. Il est à noter qu'elle a beaucoup augmenté avec l'installation de la firme Fiat à Togliatti en 1970. Le taux de possession varie beaucoup d'une région à l'autre, ce qui correspond au

The morphometry of 432 glacial cirques in the Maritime Alps, studied over several years of fieldwork, was analysed with the use of a geographical information system. These cirques are highly varied in terms of shape, size and azimuth distribution

. The analysis revealed a generally weak, if varied, influence of the Polish geographical publications coming out in different periods. The dominant role of Biuletyn Peryglacjalny, Geographia Polonica and Przegląd Geograficzny is made clear. - (BJ)
The article offers an analysis of citations of Polish geographical journals and series published in the 1918-2008 period, as developed using the Google Scholar scientific information service. A search was first made for general-geographical journals
