on a “blueprint” that is contextually adjusted. During the most recent phase, the process has become fully incorporated into public policy. The redevelopment of London’s Docklands provided the ideal typical case. There is a new relationship between gentrification
In the new network society, cities are more and more described as nodes of nodes of the global network. This coincides with the emerging of some new paradigms and the need for new representations of the urban system. The paper measures the geography
of inter-city relationships, assuming as data source the participation to the EU Framework Programmes on research and technological development. The analysis shows the existence of a juxtaposition of many networks, according to the different geographical

Aeolian sediment systems are extensive components of the Earth's surface, not just in today's active desert environments, but in coastal locations and as presently stable loess and peri-desert ergs. All these systems are subject to potentially
investigations of the processes of wind shear, sediment entrainment and transportation; and 2)landform and landscape analyses, with bedform systems described and relationships to circulation explained. The AA. explore and analyse the methodological advances

Stone retaining walls in urban Hong Kong provided vertical habitats for spontaneous colonization by a diversified humid-tropical flora with large trees. A citywide survey assessed wall and tree characteristics to understand wall-tree relationships

Vegetation plays an important role in shaping the morphology of aeolian dune landscapes in coastal and semi-arid environments, where ecogeomorphic interactions are complex and not well quantified. The AA. present a Discrete ECogeomorphic Aeolian
Landscape model (DECAL) capable of simulating realistic looking vegetated dune forms, permitting exploration of relationships between ecological and morphological processes at different temporal and spatial scales. This simple vegetated dune model

The Debeli Namet glacier in Montenegro is the focus of this paper, which has 3 main aims : 1) examine the climate trends in Montenegro during the 20th and 21st centuries using meteorological records; 2) examine relationships between climate changes

This paper provides a review of permafrost modelling advances, primarily since the 2003 permafrost conference in Zürich, Switzerland, with an emphasis on spatial permafrost models, in both arctic and high mountain environments. Models
are categorised according to temporal, thermal and spatial criteria, and their approach to defining the relationship between climate, site surface conditions and permafrost status. The most significant recent advances include the expanding application

vegetation recovery rates 2.5 years after the fire using a combination of field and remote sensing methods. It is suggested that relationships between topography and soil properties can be useful for mapping both soil erodibility and post fire vegetation
hydrological and dynamic processes by determining whether relationships between hydrology, internal ice deformation and glacier surface motion can be distinguished at diurnal timescales. Such processes may play a critical role in the development of three

The relationship between Main Central Thrust (MCT) and the spatial distribution of mass movement in the Satluj valley, northwestern Higher Himalaya, India
This study describes and explains the relationship between the spatial distribution of landslides and the Main Central Thrust (MCT) in the Satluj valley. Seventy six naturally occuring landslides in the area have been statistically analyzed
Relationship between soil erosion and distance to roadways in undeveloped areas of China
This paper addresses the relationship between soil erosion and distance to roadways in Xingguo County, an undeveloped area in Jiangxi Province of South China, for 4 time periods, 1958, 1975, 1982, and 2000. Soil erosion maps for each time period
The cultivation of vine (Vinis vinifera) that yields grapes for wine manufacture is strongly influenced by the weather. This relationship enables the use of historical viticultural data for the reconstruction of temperatures and weather extremes
in past times. This paper summarises the basics of the relationship between viticulture and climate in the Czech Lands. We compile historical vations before AD 1500 and for the 16th-18th centuries from various types of documentary evidence. Times
Testing the relationship between instantaneous peak flow and mean daily flow in a mediterranean area Southeast Spain
This paper explores possible linear relationships between annual instantanous peak discharge (IPF) and the corresponding (MDF) mean daily stream flow. The use of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) allowed characterizing the most important
topographic and hydrological attributes of the basins and provided important information about variables that should be included in IPF-MDF regional equations. The key factor to justify the different IPF-MDF relationships in a relatively small area

The article develops the different mechanisms relating forest resources to conflict with case studies such as Burma and Cambodia. It looks at the empirical relationship for the onset and duration of conflict at the country level and finds very
little support for a general and direct relationship. A shortest distance to the coast tends to make the conflicts in forested conflict zones longer.
