are more important than the distance-decay parameter. The spatial scale of input data is more important than model parameters. More attention needs to be given to the varying spatial structures of population between places and incorporating this information
and suburban areas of city regions. The areas with higher levels of creative occupations are more innovative and their social and economic development more dynamic. The analyses also show a positive correlation between the share of employed people in creative
Norman Pounds was a highly prolific geographer who single-handedly authored more than thirty books and co-authored or edited a further six. He also wrote more than thirty peer-reviewed articles. He taught at Cambridge (UK) and at Indiana University
Is there more to environmental participation than meets the eye ? Understanding agency, empowerment and disempowerment among black and minority ethnic communities
Analysis of landscapes designed for shared residential projects created during the period of post-war France (1945–1975). The three cases studies presented—La Butte Rouge, La Maurelette and Les Chatillons—are part of a larger examination of more
designs of these projects, and how they were formational in the careers of significant French designers, it is hoped that a more nuanced revitalisation will be considered.
This progress report presents a selective review of developments in coastal geomorphological research (2009-2010), and their relation to trends in geomorphology as a whole. Of particular interest are studies that attempt to achieve more rigorous
closure of budgets through explicit treatment of onshore-offshore fluxes, and analyses that address the interplay between anthropogenic and natural forcing. More generally, there are signs that a new age of discovery is being facilitated by the worldwide
in climate change discourse as well. In their conclusion the AA. argue that a come-back to a more complex environmental discourse and more complex approach of climate change are needed, in science and in society as well. This might be the way to put
proximity has a significantly stronger impact when coupled with a pedestrian-oriented environment. Conversely, station area condominiums in more auto-oriented environments may sell at a discount. This indicates that TOD has a synergistic-value greater than
the sum of its parts. It implies a healthy demand for more TOD housing in San Diego.
The article offers synthetic overview on two of the most important issues facing the current global food system: the more and more restricted supplies of fossil energy and the global depletion of freshwater resources. The A. offers an updated
of geomorphological processes of landscape evolution is at its beginning, results and insights from models are gaining more and more attention in the scientific community, justifying and encouraging increasing research efforts. - (NF)
The article compares the accuracy of forecasted and actual supply chain cost and price factors in a Nordic paper mill's sales to customers in two large European countries. There is a need for more reliable forecasting methods in the paper industry
foreign creative workers see the city and how they evaluate its potentials, strengths and weaknesses. At the end of the paper few recommendations are formulated for decision-makers to make Budapest more attractive for creative transnational migrants. - (AM)
, mainly related to local-regional climate variability. On the long trend at the millennial scale, a more coherent pattern of glacier advance/retreat phases is emerging, if not worldwide at least at the hemispheric level. - (NF)
. Latent class segmentations identified four segments, with different preferences for natural, managerial and social landscape features. While a preference for a more complex, mysterious and natural landscape was found for three segments, one segment
preferred more open landscapes. The results indicate that landscape change can affect humans in different ways, and that evolutionary and cultural preference theories are useful in explaining landscape preferences.
results presented here suggest that there are likely to be substantial public good benefits to the promotion of the forestry sector. More specifically, given the frequency of visits nationally, forest parks are shown to be a recreational resource which
the biodiversity and carbon sequestration benefits of forestry to be more important than benefits in terms of timber production.
in the degradation level of volcanoes, independent of other factors. The methodology employed is based on geomorphological and morphometric analyses. Only 39.5% of the Tenerife volcanoes have gullies; nevertheless, more than 84.6% of the Pleistocene cones present
gullies, compared to only 20% of the Holocene volcanoes. Therefore, the older volcanoes appear to have been more affected by torrential rains. Although the age of a volcano is an essential factor in the degree of erosion, other factors intervene as well.
of the ecological carrying capacity demand-supply was unbalanced ranging from significant overloading to affluence from southeastern to northwestern part of China. It appeared to be more dominant in regions located at coastal areas which had a generally higher
population density. Along with the rapid development and urbanization trends in China, ecological deficits in these regions will become more severe.
