Partnership in urban regeneration in the UK: the Sheffield Central Area Study
This paper explores one particular manifestation of partnership in the Sheffield Area, within the context of growth coalition and regime theories. Analysis of agendas adopted by partners and questions of power, suggests that existing theories do
Geomorphological analysis and genetic relief classification of the inundation area of the Krkavec dam
Detailed geomorphological analysis of the relief forms in the presumed inundation area of the Krkavec dam on the Nežárka river in South Bohemia. Geological and tectonic characteristics, fluvial, eolian, gravitational, organogenic and antropogenic
An important point of the research of the environmental burden of an area is the assessing criteria and selection of indicators. After long analyses and verification on the model districts a standart system with 124 indicators was adopted. A summary
assessment contains differant regional influence of air pollution (30), water pollution (13), land devastation (31), biosphere damage (15), physical factors (11 percent). Largest areas with by far highest environmental burden involve a territory stretching
from Cheb to Děčin, along the Elbe to Mělník, and to Prague. A second area is the Ostrava region. - (MS)
Floristic plant geography: the classification of floristic areas and floristic elements
A major objective is the identification and classification of floristic areas and floristic elements. The spatial scale of plant geography can be divided into three segments: microregional, mesoregional and macroregional. Historical biogeograhies
Present and past soil erosion rates in catchments of the Kraichgau area (SW-Germany)
In four catchments of the Kraichgau area (SW-Germany), all covered with loess and distinguished by different combinations of natural and manmade erosion risks, total and recent soil losses from the hills were examined. The total loss was calculated
Application of the caesium-137 technique in a study of soil erosion on gully slopes in a yuan area of the Loess Plateau near Xifeng, Gansu Province, China
This paper reports the results of a study of patterns and rates of soil redistribution under different land-management strategies in the Nan Xiaohe Gully near Xifeng, in Gansu Province, using the caesium-137 technique. Description of the study area
This note directs attention to sorted polygons which are rapidly forming on a recently deglaciated ground moraine in the highland of Mælifellssandur, an area where permafrost is absent. It is concluded that in this area the formation oof sorted
The drainage network analysis, based on description and interpretation of drainage anomalies and frequency, allow to distinguish: 1) subhomogenouus drainage areas which correspond to areas bearing consistent geological characteristics, and 2
) drainage anomalies. The results have been checked in the field and compared with the tectonic features in the mountainous areas. The extension of these structures could then be traced confidently further towards the flat lowlands.
A study of the physical carrying capacities of natural areas for recreation on the catchment of Katarét stream
There is no unified, established method for the study of the physical carrying capacities of natural areas for recreation. The present paper undertakes the task of defining the physical carrying capacity of a mountain range of medium height
Autocorrelation of trace element contents in soils of Tianjin plain area
Contents of 13 trace elements in soils from 36 locations in Tianjin plain area were determined. The spatial autocorrelation, the directional characteristics of autocorrelation, the relationship between autocorrelation in different directions and lag
The development of nature in extensive parts of the Netherlands appears to be becoming the guiding principle for planning and designing in rural areas. This development can also be a challenge for the improvement of the tourist recreation product

This article addresses the question of whether or not distinct glacial and non-glacial landforms can survive beneath ice sheets and ice caps with little or no morphological alteration. In glaciated areas, patches preserved under dry (cold)-based
conditions provide important windows towards the past, showing landscapes that were destroyed in surrounding areas affected by wet-based and eroding ice. Some consequences for the research fields of non-glacial geomorphology, archaeology and botany include
subglacial museums and refugia. A time/space model describes geomorphological access to information from older events in glaciated areas.
Monthly zonal indices (ZI:s) from January 1899 to August 1992 in a North Atlantic area (40°W-5°W) and a north European area (5°E-40°E) are analysed. Time series analysis show that the ZI:s for each area does not show the same evolutionary trends
and that any distinct periods are hard to identify, except for a phase with low ZI for winters over the North Atlantic area during 1955-70. The correlation between ZI and temperature is shown to vary over time (especially for spring and autumn) indicating
This paper addresses the reasons for the increase in flood damage to property, the scale of that damage and the responses to the flood hazard. The areas examined are South-Limburg (The Netherlands), the Pays de Caux (France), the area between
Brussels and Leuven (Belgium) and the South Downs (England). They have features in common: dissected terrain with dry valley systems of periglacial origin; soils derived from loess; recent intensification and specialisation of agriculture, and housing areas
proximal to farmland. There are, however, differences between the study areas.
The development of an environmental assessment map in this recreation area allows for further research in the protection and conservation of this environmentally at risk area. - (JS)
The quaternary foreland-sedimentation at the edge of the Styrian SE-Alps (upper Raab/Rába-catchment area near Hungary) is analysed. This environment is based on the particular high-metamorph bedrocks in the upper-drainage areas and the asymmetric
