Some problems in cartographical interpretation of geographical space
Geographical space is the most frequent case of cartographical interpretation. It is conceived more widely by compilation of synthetical maps. Attention is paid to the problems of both cartographical representation of metrics and spatial
Closed space and political pratice: Frederick Jackson Turner and Halford Mackinder
Turner's frontier thesis and Mackinder's heartland thesis are examples of closed-space thinking. The internal structure of closed-space theories allowed them to promote political conclusions, because the three central terms of those theories
This is the second in a series of annual reports on books likely to be of interest to readers of Society and Space. Once again, the report is synoptic. The welter of literature of direct or tangential relevance that appears each year defeats any
such as space, place, place name, toponym, toponymy, choronymy..., a place name is investigated as an exceptional modality of space appropriation among Quebec's Amerindians, Inuit, and Whites. Toponymic language is examined largely from the structural
and semantic points of view. One can see that an opposition exists between the objective notion of space and the subjective notion of denominative action. (Ed.).
supplies the equilibrium condition for space. The existence of an equilibrium is demonstrated by extending the Gale-Nikaido theorem to the case under examination. Consequently, the competitive equilibrium, exists, under the assumptions of the theorem
, although each point of space is heterogeneous with any other point (because of the different location): the existence is allowed by the perfect partibility of space.
Grossmassstäbige Trendflächenanalysen für Merkmale der geookologischen Raumstruktur. (Large-scale analyses of trend areas for characteristics of geoecological space structures)
The georelief (especially of solid stone areas covered wih loose sediments and loose materials) as well as features of geoecological space structures (plant-sociological multitude of species, formation of biomass and yield) may be modelled as trend
Space-time economies under free mobility. Competitive equilibria and efficiency
In this paper, a space-time sequence economy with money, storage and transaction /transportation costs of mobile commodities will be considered. Conditions on technologies and households'characteristics will be derived to establish the existence

Instead of the description of a geographical space or allocation of economies, this book deals with the comprehensive or even fundamental laws of spatial development which are the primary concern of economic geography. Examples illustrate
the debatable approaches to dynamic space theory, centres of development, allocation theory, urbanization and the focal points of world economy. (DLO).
