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
timespaces. The difficulty for establishing a successful discipline of geography was that it straddled these two kinds of timespace. Social science neglected three other types of timespace that were potentially subversive.

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

Cette théorie repose sur des formulations analytiques appliquées à des entités et relations de base en géographie du temps : la trajectoire, le prisme, la combinaison des deux, les stations, les collections et intersections spatio-temporelles.

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.

Geography of Africa
Time series (scores) of rainfall from cloud bands across South Africa, generated through principal component analysis, are compared with equivalent estimated time series developed from satellite imagery and surface data. For most summer months
the principal component scores are useful first approximations to the true time series. (AJC).

Geography of America
Geographers have been increasingly involved in emergency medical-services planning. Of particular importance has been the application of location-optimizing models that minimize ambulance-response time. There has been little research
on the importance of response time and its clinical impact. Response time is confirmed as a determinant of patient outcome by the use of emergency medical system in Seattle as a case study.
I would much rather be still here and travel in time : the intertwinedness of mobility and stillness in cottage living

This article elaborates on how mobility and stillness, in both space and time, are intertwined and mutually influence each other by analysing second home usage of old cottages that formally were dwelling houses of poor tenant small-holdings
in Sweden. It shows that these places continuously emerge through entanglements of mobility and stillness and of present and past times. It demonstrates that the users go to the cottage to be at a place where they, with the help of the preserved materiality
and history of the cottages, can feel rooted and still. At the same time the cottages offer imaginary time travels and experiences of other times and lifestyles.
