Boundary objects and the social construction of GIS technology
The AA. examine several instances of how GIS technology involves social negotiation by using a construct of boundary objects developed in a social constructivist framework. Boundary objects stabilize relationships through the negotiation of flexible
Establishing research objectives to address issues of climate change
There are numerous possible expensive research projects that could address each of the many facets of the implications of global climate change. The paper describes a systematic process to identify and the structure the objectives of research
on global change. The result is a hierarchy of 81 important research objectives.
The paper contains the list of the objects which are the remains of settlement in the area of the northern coast of Hornsund. These objects are divided into three groups : buildings, graves and other objects. The paper shows situation, state
and history of each objects. The paper shows situation, state and history of each object.―(D'après l'A.).
An analysis of labour market outcomes in the European Union objective One Funding Area in Great Britain
This paper examines the short-run impact of European Union Objective One funding on local labour markets in Great Britain. The evidence from a difference-in-difference analysis reveals that employment and job-related training gaps between
the Objective One and non-Objective One area narrowed during the funding period. However, there is substantial variation across the four funding areas: Objective One status had a positive effect on employment in South Yorkshire and on job-related training

The expected maximum distance objective in facility location
Les AA. proposent une nouvelle fonction objective pour le problème minimax de la localisation. Chaque point de demande engendre une demande de service avec une probabilité (période donnée). L'objectif est de minimiser la distance maximale attendue.
Object-oriented modeling in regional science: an advocacy view
Among innovative conceptual approaches, object orientation has a high potential for modeling in fields where simulation can play an important role. Programming languages and graphical software tools supporting object-oriented modeling are beginning
Accuracy assessment and classification efficiency of object-based image analysis of aerial imagery
Following text is focused on finding a proper balance between classification accuracy and classification efficiency of object based image analysis of aerial imagery. From the final values of accuracy is obvious, that Feature analyst provides
comparable results with other authors. From the point of view of classification efficiency, application of tools of object recognition and its effect on the time and work consumption, it is a question of the extent of study area and the heterogeneity
Quality of life, an objective and subjective variable analysis
Canada ; Corrélation ; Géographie humaine ; Indicateurs sociaux ; Manitoba ; Mesure ; Méthodologie ; Perception ; Qualité de la vie ; Société urbaine ; Variable objective ; Variable subjective ; Ville
Les études sur la qualité de la vie donnent des résultats différents selon qu'elles se basent sur des variables objectives (indicateurs sociaux) ou subjectives (mesures basées sur la perception). Ceci est illustré par une étude sur les centres
The region in the boot : mobilising lone subjects and multiple objects
The AA. argue, in sympathy with actor-network theory and nonrepresentational theory, that space is formulated by and formulative of its objects in mutually elaborating occasions and chains of action. The handling of objects that produces regions
