The spatial-temporal structure of relief in space and time can be described in terms based on three initial concepts: spatial organisation, hierarchical succession, and morphological succession. The indivisible space-time of relief is defined
by five dimensional coordinates: time, three coordinates of Euclidean space, coordinate expressing the group of characteristics, that is the level of organisation achieved. Because of the indivisible nature of space-time geomorphology needs to rediscover

In this special section dedicated to space-time integration in geography and GIScience, the authors analyse successively the following issues : 1-Real-timespace–time integration in GIScience and geography ; 2-Prospects for a space–time GIS ; 3
-Beyond space (as we knew it): toward temporally integrated geographies of segregation, health, and accessibility ; 4-On the cyberinfrastructure for GIS-enabled historiography ; 5-Space–time behavior research in China: recent development and future
prospect ; 6-Analytical data transformations in space–time region : three stories of space–time cube.
Time-space approaches developed for the study of human spatial behavior may be extended for the study of regional spatial organization. Though the two scales are different in terms of their temporal dimension, they also share a few common aspects
. The time-space approach for the regional scale may be defined using the same languages as used for the human scale. The time-space approach is useful particularly for the study urban growth.
Between space and time : reflections on the geographical imagination
Capitalism ; Esthetics ; Geopolitics ; Historical geography ; Social change ; Social life ; Social reproduction ; Social space ; Social theory ; Space ; Time
This study of the historical geography of concepts of space and time suggests that the roots of the social construction of these concepts lie in the mode of production and its characteristic social relations.
The time of space and the space of time : the future of social science
Epistemology ; Ethnic group ; Geopolitics ; Ideology ; Political geography ; Social sciences ; Spacetime
Time and space are irremediably locked together and constitute a single dimension. Social science, as invented between 1850 and 1914, has involved limited interpretations of timespace emphasizing either eternal timespaces or episodic geopolitical
Europe ; France ; Germany ; Historical mapping ; Methodology ; Regional planning ; Spacetime ; Territorial planning ; Western Europe
The topic of this article is the visualisation of the new relationship of space and time by a new type of maps. These time-space maps do not display spatial distances but time distances between cities and countries. For this purpose a method
for creating time-space maps has been developed which improves current methods and avoids their pitfalls. To demonstrate the developed methods, time-space maps for Western Europe, France and Germany are presented. - (L'A.).
Analysing space-time behaviour : new approaches to old problems
Behaviour ; Logit model ; Spacetime ; Spatial choice ; Time geography ; Utility fonction
The notion that activity-travel patterns are highly constrained has been frequently used in analytical studies and models of time-space behaviour. The popularity of this field of research lost most of its momentum in geography in the 1990s
, but is now the dominant approach among civil engineers in transportation research. The paper critically reviews these developments. It briefly sommarizes recent developments in space-time research, focusing on empirical and modelling studies. Potential
Mapping the terrain of time-space compression : power networks in everyday life
Capitalism ; Concept ; Daily life ; Economic system ; Partnership ; Power ; Social network ; Societal relations ; Spacetime
The A. seeks a more comprehensive mapping of the experience of time-space in late modernity. Building on Massey's notion of power geometry, he integrates discussions of time-space with an application of different understandings of power
and their manifestations - in latent-power conditions, socioeconomic networks, actor networks, local interpersonal relations, and the network spaces of subjectivity.
Time-space and everyday life : South African mothers in urban context
Daily life ; Pretoria ; South Africa ; Spacetime ; Transvaal ; Urban environment ; Woman
The time-space environment of mothers is analyzed and a case study of single mothers in greater Pretoria is presented. Marked differences between the patterns of the different populations groups were distinguished. - (AJC)
Organizing time in geography : explanations and activities for teachers
Pedagogy ; Spacetime ; Teaching of geography ; Time ; Time geography
Outlines the strengths and weaknesses of different ways that geographers organize time : temporal cross-sections; synchronic cross-sections; diachronic subsections; temporal integration. - (DWG)

The paper presents a first-order autoregressive distributed lag model in both space and time. A framework is developed to determine which model is the most likely candidate to study space-time data. As an application, the relationship between
A hybrid framework for space-time modeling of environmental data
China ; Forecast ; Model ; Neural network ; Spacetime ; Spatial weighting ; Statistics ; Temperature ; Time series
The article presents a hybrid framework combining machine learning and statistical methods to address a modelisation of the nonlinearities and nonstationarities of environmental space-time series. A four-stage procedure is proposed and it is applied
