A discussion of terms for the description of the space-time of relief
Concept ; Geomorphological mapping ; Geomorphology ; Methodology ; Relief ; Space time
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

The paper discusses how time-geography can be developed by closing the gap to other social sciences. The objective is to contribute to the development of a theory of action, dealing with everyday life.
A microlevel analysis of residential context and travel time
Behaviour ; Commuting ; Form of transport ; Mode choice ; Multivariate analysis ; Netherlands (The) ; Residential environment ; Transport ; Travel time ; Trip
By using data from the 1998 Netherlands National Travel Survey, the AA. consider travel time associated with trip purpose and transport mode and show that sociodemographic factors and residential context influence daily travel time.
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.
The time of space and the space of time : the future of social science
Epistemology ; Ethnic group ; Geopolitics ; Ideology ; Political geography ; Social sciences ; Space time
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
