The core topic of this text is an individual and a place, an individual in a place and an individual through a place. The author focuses on the relationship between an individual and the place, in which an individual lives and with which she/he
identifies. The paper deals with the relationship of an individual and place in philosophy (Heidegger), in geography (Tuan, Relph, Cresswell) and in geographical education (Witham Bednarz, et al., 1994). - (EN)
Individual environmental responsibility and its role in public environmentalism
The A. looks at the role of environmental responsibility in public environmentalism and particularly at how this notion is articulated by individuals involved in a range of pro-environmental behaviours. The translation of this environmental
responsibility into consistent behaviour proves to be complex and dependent upon the individual's social context as well as upon organised environmentalism.
The role of individual subsidiary holdings in Ukrainian agricultural production has increased substantially caused by the general economic crisis in agriculture. The article analyses the development of individual subsidiary holdings and determinates
the relationships between individual subsidiary holdings and large agricultural enterprises. (IFL)

Local labour markets and individual transitions into and out of poverty : evidence from the British Household Panel Study waves 1 to 8
The paper examines the impact of changes in local-labour market conditions on individual poverty exits and entrances. Transitions out of poverty and transitions into poverty are estimated by using discrete duration models. The relative contribution
of labour market variables is smaller than individual and family characteristics in determining transitions out of and into poverty.
Simulation of individual particle movement in a gravel streambed
A two-dimensional simulation model of travel distances of individual particles in a gravel-bed is presented. The model is based on a number of rules, which include particle size, entrainment, trajectory, distance of movement and entrapment
. Resistance fields, particle dropping and critical elevation rules control particle interactions. The interaction rules cause the particles to develop pebble clusters, stone cells and transverse structures. The simulated travel distances of individual
