Airline data for global city network research: reviewing and refining existing approaches 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Information on air passenger flows is potentially a prime data source for assessing spatial patterns in the global city network,
but previous analyses have been hampered by inadequate and/or partial data. The ensuing analytical deficiencies have reduced
the overall value of these analyses, and this paper examines how some of these deficiencies may be rectified. First, we review
the rationale for using airline data to analyse the global city network. Second, we assess the data problems encountered in
previous research. Third, we elaborate on the construction of datasets that may circumvent some of these problems. The proposed
refinements include the omission of the hub function of major airports and ways to extract relevant business flows from the
data.

Identifying China’s leading world city: a network approach 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
This paper reports our research on China’s world cities. Formal network analysis of air passenger linkages for recent years
among China’s most populous cities and among many of the world’s largest cities allows us to identify the country’s leading
world city from among the leading Mainland candidates, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. We theorize our findings about China’s
world cities in relation to both global forces (and China’s increasing entanglement with them) and the policies and actions
of the national state. We examine the national and global urban network through a longitudinal, two-level analysis of airline
passenger travel for four time points between about 1990 and 2005. We show that Beijing was China’s leading world city at
the beginning of the time period, a status it lost nationally in as early as 1995, and then globally 10 years later. On the
other hand Shanghai became China’s leading world city, and it acquired this status first nationally in 2000, and then globally
in 2005. The changing status of the Chinese capital corresponds to the country’s increasing involvement with the capitalist
world economy. Shanghai’s ascendance as the leading world city in China may indicate that global forces have come to play
an increasingly important role relative to that of the developmental state.

The regionalization of urban natural disasters in China 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Jing-ai Wang Pei-jun Shi Xiang-sheng Yi Hui-cong Jia Lai-yin Zhu 《Natural Hazards》2008,44(2):169-179
An integrated urbanization level (CL) index and an integrated natural disaster intensity (QC) index were developed on the
basis of Disaster System Theory and China Natural Disaster Database for integrated urban disaster risk assessment. Integrated
quantitative assessments of the urban socio-economic system and the intensity of hazards in China were carried out by the
Model-Tupu (map series) and inter-feedback process using digital map technology. On the basis of this assessment, China can
be regionalized into three regions, namely, coastal urban disaster region, eastern urban disaster region and western urban
disaster region, 15 sub-regions and 22 units. These results can provide a scientific basis for determining a city’s disaster
risk management and natural disaster relief regionalization in China.

Subsidizing cross-border regions is a method to close the gap between citizens and the European Union. This analysis of PAMINA,
a cross-border region in the Rhine Valley near Karlsruhe, discusses some of the difficulties of this policy. There are structural
mismatches between the scales of different cross-border relations. These vertical mismatches are linked to the differences
in the horizontal logics of economic and administrative cross-border relations. Especially cross-border commuting, made possible
by European economic integration, has improved the daily life of many inhabitants of this region. Paradoxically this regional
success of European economic integration is disconnected from the EU funded cross-border region. They not only relate to different
scales, but the same spatial asymmetry generating this cross-border behaviour hinders administrative cross-border cooperation
in PAMINA.

Contrary to the absence of a uniform Spanish identity (a phenomenon that is often referred to as Spain being a ‘nation of
nations’), Spain’s confessional map is remarkably homogeneous. From the beginning of its existence as a political conglomeration,
Spain has been a mono-confessional Catholic territory. Even at present, Catholicism is an intrinsic feature of Spanish society
and – though officially a secular state – of state policy. A closer look at Spain’s religious situation and its corresponding
pattern of church–state relations reveals, however, some recent cracks in the century’s old bond between Spain and Catholicism.
Particularly secularization and religious pluralism challenge Spain’s mono-confessional Catholic nature, a development that
fits well into Spain’s post-Francoist focus on Europe and European (secular) values. This paper discusses Spanish church–state
relations from the beginning of its political existence until present times. Special attention will be paid to more recent
societal developments and their impact on religious Spain and church–state relations.

Ramadan and Bussorah Street: the spirit of place 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Rahil Ismail 《GeoJournal》2006,66(3):243-256
The presence of ‘seasonal spaces’ such as the Ramadan-related activities associated with Bussorah Street, Singapore, during
the holy Muslim month of Ramadan surfaces significant issues on the convergence and management of identity, heritage, space
and conservation important to all Singaporeans. Conservation projects to ‘prettify’ or commodify the historic district of
Kampong Glam, which contains Bussorah Street had to be revised to include the local tradition of the Ramadan food bazaar but
at the adjoining Kandahar Street. Undoubtedly, what is being underlined by this seasonal space is the affirmation of identity,
the reclamation of space and the possibility for improved management and economic viability of the Kampong Glam district.
However, as stressed in the paper, that while the spirit of Bussorah Street can be construed as forms of spatial or cultural
resilience, the new Malay Heritage Centre (Taman Warisan Melayu) located in the district acts as a strong reminder that, ultimately,
‘seasonal spaces’ are still subjected to the calculated considerations of the Singapore urban planners or the governing elite
with significant implications for those with strong ethnic and religious connections with the area and its Islamic heritage.

Post-Bam earthquake: recovery and reconstruction 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
This paper gives a brief explanation of the earthquake in Bam. It also reports on the rescue and relief operations, including
the construction of emergency shelters and temporary housing, and on the country’s plan for the reconstruction of the city,
which includes debris removal, the rebuilding of rural and urban residential and commercial units, the reconstruction of state
and public buildings and public facilities such as schools, rural and urban water aqueducts and grids, the construction of
a sewage system, power network and telecommunication system, the provision of water to orchards and farmlands, the renovation
of industries and the revival of the cultural heritage, particularly the historical Bam citadel, among others. We also report
briefly on the effect of the Bam earthquake on the Iran Earthquake Risk Reduction Strategy and actions.

Geographers show keen interest in projected images employed in tourism as these images both reflect the ideas of the image
producers and influence tourists’ perceptions and (spatial) behaviour. This article focuses on intentional and unintentional
projected images of the Netherlands. The former is especially selective: it relies on stereotypes and presents Holland. The
unintentional projected image created in four travel guides is less stereotyped. While the focus is still on Holland, other
areas of the country are presented as well. Both intentional and unintentional projected images rely on ’othering’ and ’alterity’
to make the Netherlands a unique destination and to offer the tourists a trip that is far from everyday life. However travel
guides use ’alterity’ in different ways and at different levels of scale to create a regional geography of the Netherlands
as well.

Over the past five years or so, Anglo-American hegemony in human geography has been widely debated. This debate has highlighted
the obstacles put in the way of the building of a more international geographical discipline. In this paper, we reflect on
the possibilities and also the limitations of Europe as a context for the experimentation with a more cross-national discipline.
In doing so, we notice on the one hand the increasing attention towards the Europeanisation of human geography, particularly
at an institutional level, but on the other hand we also notice the lack of some basic forms and tools of communication and
exchange that might facilitate the mobilisation of scholars around the ‘European project’. The paper tries to offer a contribution
to this issue by discussing the ways in which a European journal of human geography might be conceived and also concretely
organised. In this respect the paper takes into account issues of language, access to scientific knowledge and recognition
of cultural and academic diversities.

Tornado shelters and the manufactured home parks market 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Manufactured or mobile homes represent a fast growing portion of the housing market but are particularly vulnerable to tornadoes.
In the US over 40% of tornado fatalities occur in mobile homes even though they comprise about 8% of US housing units. We
examine the market for tornado shelters in manufactured home parks in Oklahoma. Almost 60% of parks in the state have shelters,
with 90% of the shelters underground. Parks with shelters are not concentrated in urban areas but spread across the state,
with parks with shelters in 32 counties. We find that rents for lots in parks with shelters are 5–8% higher, which generates
sufficient revenue to approximately pay for shelters, but the point estimate is statistically significant in only one specification.

Some observations on the prediction of the dynamic parameters of debris flows in pyroclastic deposits in the Campania region of Italy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Over the last 20 years, many tools have been developed for the prediction of the post-failure behaviour of rapid landslides.
However, as pointed out by several researchers, knowledge may be improved by the performance of back-analyses using different
models and the evaluation of their reliability. This paper reports the back-analysis, conducted using numerical models, of
57 rapid landslides that have occurred in the Campania region. The back-analysis has been performed using the 2-D DAN_W code
(version 2003) with two different rheological models: the Voellmy and the frictional models. The latter has been immediately
discarded because it did not match the observed data. Instead, using the Voellmy model, the best-fit values of the parameters
(friction μ and turbulence ξ) for different types of flow (channelled, un-channelled and mixed flows) have been researched.
With these values a parametric study has been carried out on four representative slope profiles of the Campania region, enabling
the prediction of runout, velocity and depth of flow (dynamic parameters) of potential debris flows.

The regular solid solution model has been applied to solid solubility in the monazite–xenotime systems and is verified against
the available experimental data for LaPO4–YPO4 and CePO4–YPO4 systems. The model is then used to predict the miscibility gaps in a number of other monazite–xenotime systems. The implications
for prospective two-phase monazite–xenotime fiber coatings for applications in ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are discussed.

The study addresses population dynamics in Ghana on the urban and regional levels between 1984 and 2000. At the urban level,
the development trends are analyzed for urban localities (population above 5,000) on the basis of geo-coded census data. Potential
driving forces for rapid population growth related to size, location, accessibility and facility counts are examined using
bivariate and multivariate analysis. An index of weighted accessibility relative to other urban localities provides significant
explanation at the national level, as does initial locality size. At the regional level, population development is analyzed
to provide insight into the rural–urban relations. The level of urbanization is steadily increasing but varies considerably
between regions. Areas of high population growth are found in some rural areas that have a remote location relative to the
large urban centers. This seems to indicate the existence of ‘frontier’ regions, i.e. areas that experience a high degree
of in-migration by people aiming to undertake specific farming activities. A high proportion of the population growth in these
areas appears to take place in relatively small towns. The paper concludes with a more in-depth discussion of the development
characteristics of Ghana’s Western Region. This region has experienced one of the highest regional population growth rates,
mainly due to its status as a ‘frontier’ for cocoa production.

The effects of air transportation on the movement of labor 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of the deregulation of airlines markets and the new technologies that have been introduced into air transportation
have been heavily studied. Much of this analysis has been on the impacts on the industry and the immediate welfare implications
for passengers and, to a lesser extent, cargo consignors. This study looks at the longer-term effects of the modern air transportation
system on labor markets and labor migration. The growth of the service sector, the emergence of more flexible manufacturing
techniques, the reduction in trade-barriers, and the creation of more sophisticated financial markets have led to greater
mobility in production and in capital movement. This has been explored to some extent. Labor is, however, also more mobile
- for example, since the admission of Poland to the European Union some 465,000 Polish workers have joined the UK labor market.
Air transportation facilitates easier migration, makes short-term, long-distance migration viable, and allows migrants to
maintain contact with their home country. Within larger countries, such as the US, there has also been a growth in long distance
“week-day” migration as spouses work in different parts of the country to be reunited at weekends. The study makes use of
aggregate data to look at trends in international labor movements particularly concerning the European situation, and, to
a lesser extent, at recent developments within the US. It is concerned both with what is going on in terms of the use being
made of air transportation by migrants and the light that this may shed on migration theory.

Summary The question of alternative technologies for high-speed Internet access lies at the heart of rural development problems. In
this paper, we focus on one of those technologies, the system combining satellite technologies and Wi-Fi. Based on an empirical
study carried out in three rural areas, we analyze the dynamics of the use and appropriation of that technology by the companies
and organizations participating in the experiment. Considered both from a technical and social standpoint, the technology
‘in use’ appears here in its structuring dimensions.

This study seeks to gauge how far China’s container-related dynamics between 1990 and 2005 fit into the wider perspective
about transport and development within developing countries. In particular, attention is focussed on the role of specific
modes to determine the extent of the penetration of containers within China. Before addressing these key issues extant models
relating to an understanding of port and transport evolution in less-developed countries are recalled, synthesized and used
as a base upon which an appropriate review of China’s case can be conducted. Applying them to China’s northern, central and
southern port ranges not only helps assess the efficacy of these models but also highlights the contribution of individual
modes.

Indigenous people often exclusively depend on the natural resources available within the ecosystems where they live, and commonly
manage their resources sustainably. They have developed, and continue to develop indigenous knowledge systems which encompass
sustainable management of natural resources. This study compares indigenous knowledge of natural resource management developed
by two different communities in two different environments—Maori in the temperate environment in New Zealand and Dusun in
the tropical environment in Brunei Darussalam, and comparatively evaluates the role of indigenous knowledge in sustainable
resource management in three categories of knowledge such as spatial and seasonal distribution of natural resources, sustainable
harvesting, and habitat management. The comparison reveals that despite the differences in environment and the great geographical
distance between the two communities, there are remarkable similarities between the two knowledge systems in concepts, principles,
strategies and technologies used in natural resource management.

This article explores the relationship between historical memory, urban space, and photography by way of a case study: the
place-specific public art of the Guatemalan photographer and human rights activist, Daniel Hernández-Salazar. As one of a
growing number of Latin American artists committed to combating the “institutionalized forgetfulness” of human rights violations
throughout the hemisphere, Hernández-Salazar deploys geographically-rich photographic installations to help his society remember
its difficult past. The installations, known as Street Angel, are like ghosts haunting the graves of the murdered, fortresses of the powerful, bastions of the complicit. By shedding
light on these ghostly angels, this article reveals the important role of photography, as a crucial vehicle of memory, in
bearing witness to the unimaginable horrors that consumed much of the twentieth century, as well as that technology’s limitations.
It also shows how remembrances of those atrocities depend on urban space for their grounding, articulation, and maintenance.
Finally, by probing the artistic impulse and political sensibility that created Guatemala City’s angels of memory, it makes
the case that, in the combustible political climate of post-war Central America, the work of remembering the past is not an
antiquarian exercise: the labor of memory is a fundamental component of building a just society.

A vulnerability index for the Fire Service in the UK has been designed to identify vulnerable locations during episodes of
severe floods. Taking recent case studies with the UK Fire Service, the patterns of vulnerability, in terms of demand on time
and resources, can be explained by investigating the environmental causes and their interaction with the adaptive capacity
of the response agencies.
