and processes, structures and effects. After the political union of both German states the structural equalisation of living conditons was an enormous challenge for the entire German populace and for all the functional systems within this new and larger country
Reconstruction in the East). Two articles are concerned with the more specific themes of urban developmental policies using examples in Eastern Germany. The articles are supplemented by reports of regional structures and regional planning systems in Eastern
A power function model for the basic geometry of solution dolines : considerations from the classical karst of south-central Slovenia
This paper sets out to investigate which simple rotational body (rotated power function) best fits the geometry of 38 dolines studied within the Classical Karst of Slovenia. It transpires that doline radius to depth ratio changes as a function
Functional delineated labour market regions are needed for regional economic analyses. In dependence of the definition of regions, economic regions in space can be seen as rich or poor areas. In addition to this, statistical and econometric reasons
argue for using functional labour market regions. The available definitions of functional units are based mostly on data from 1980s and 1990s. To that extent a new delineation is required. The AA. use a factor analysis with an oblique rotation
and its water flows along an artificial canal. The system of canal could be modified using the sustainable methods to restore some natural functions of a stream such as water retaining and self-purifying function. Groundwater and biodiversity would benefit
in the functioning of the natural environment. Corridors could be classified from the point of view of their functional meaning, but also the intensity of flow and the movement. Type of development in the corridor depends on the role of the green and open spaces
with the stress on its integration function cannot be achieved without synchronized transport development. For SEE countries, the top priority project would be the formation of the pan-European transport corridors. Six of ten corridors pass through the territory
of South Eastern Europe. The formation of this network has a sits ultimate goal functional interregional integration with simplified and accelerated transport lines. - (IfL)
Spatial and functional changes in built-up areas in selected slovene rural settlements after 1991

This study explores whether it is possible to assess forest site productivity in southern Finland, represented by height of Scots pine and Norway spruce, as a function of phytogeomorphological site variables as well as ages of dominant
This paper aims to discuss the limitations of developing potential transfer functions for palaeohydrological reconstructions of climate records in 2 linked ways. First, the effective of hillslope-channel coupling will be assessed to evaluate
, the Agneitir in Mauritania, and the Namib in Namibia. The results are consistent with models of dune fields as self-organizing complex systems in which a characteristic pattern emerges as a function of constructional time.
For this study, the water balance of the fan was computed at the rainfall-event scale through the 1992-2002 decade, thus providing consistent values of annual surface water loss by infiltration. From this set of data, a hydrological functioning
to incorporate autogenic processes, thereby restricting the re-establishment of natural functioning, and further interdisciplinary work is needed to address this.
