Competing algorithms are not sufficient for a global optimum solution. An algorithm incorporating a new search procedure, called the global/regional interchange algorithm, is described.

Transnational co-operation and its contribution to spatial development and EU enlargement. The case of INTERREG IIIB in northern Poland
planning regarded as a tool co-ordinating various human activities within a space. They have brought important good practices and know-how concerning spatial development in the future transnational cooperation projects will compete for resources
The survey conducted has revealed that INTERREG projects have played an instrumental role for spatial development of northern Poland in several aspects. They have resulted in the elaboration and testing of new instruments important for spatial
Sediment-transport competence of rain-impacted interrill overland flow
This paper investigates the transport of particles in shallow, rain-impacted flow. Specifically the relationships among rainfall energy, flow energy and transport distance will be investigated. From this investigation a definition of competence
for such flow in terms of transport distance (i.e. a finite distance in a finite time) will be presented. Using the data obtained from the investigation, a predictive equation for sediment-transport competence of rain-impacted shallow flow will be developed.
Raumordnung Regional planning and spatial development
This report sketches the foundations and the definition of the German term Raumordnung, explains its history, the insistence of Bund and Länder on their own competences as well as the common effort to produce a Leitbild, the guidelines of regional

L'A. traite des stratégies menées par les ouvriers pour obtenir un emploi, de la justesse de ces dernières et des échelles spatiales qu'elles impliquent (celle du corps et de l'individu, de l'espace de vie, de la concurrence entre industries). Il
Creating land use scenarios for city greenbelts using a spatial multi-criteria analysis shell : two case studies
In this paper, the AA. use a spatial multi-criteria analysis shell (MCAS-S) to explore 2 case studies : 1) a 1250 ha subset of the Toronto Greenbelt in the Durham region of Ontario (Canada); and 2) the Balcones Canyonlands Conservation Plan area
for endangered species protection on the western side of Austin, Texas (USA). In both cases, urbanization and encroachment are major pressures. The study areas were described by GIS data layers grouped into themes that capture major competing factors
of scenario layers were created to indicate likely future development areas. Although the results are only associative and not causative, they illustrate the difficulties of satisfying multiple competing goals in greenbelts, and the tendency for preserved

The AA. attempt to shed light on the emergence of spatial agglomerations and clusters in the history of the Polish post-communist automotive sector. Two main questions are addressed : what types of agglomerations dominate in the Polish automotive
. At present, the competitive advantages of Polish agglomerations include factor conditions, whereas the linkages, non-production competencies and institutional environment lag behind. - (BJ)

The A. of this article has been conducting research on geography teacher-trainees’ development of subject competence and didactic competence. The aim of the research performed was then to achieve comprehensive assessment of competence acquisition
by geography teachers as mentors of vocational teacher training,as well as to attempt to find the relationship between the received points given for the development of competences and the assessment performed both in points and marks given by geography students
