KIDS AND SPACE IN THE PUERTO RICAN HIGHLANDS

ABSTRACT. The spatial world of the child comprises two great realms, “in’ and “out,’ more or less corresponding to the great behavioral domains of “got to’ and “doing nothing.’ Within the “got‐to’ domain–and thus “in’–are home, school, and other loci of secure, stable authority. Included in “doing nothing’–and so “out’–are street and yard, field and stream, pool hall and movie theater, the spaces of games, things to do, and really doing nothing. This study looks at the shifting relationships of these realms across the life cycle of kids in the highlands of Puerto Rico in 1969–1970.     

2001年全球重大气候事件概述

全球气候仍持续偏暖。亚洲大部出现异常冷冬，许多地区遇到数十年未见的风雪严寒；美国冬季也连续遭受暴风雪袭击。东亚、南亚、中亚有西亚发生了大范围的持久干旱，南亚、东南亚夏季暴雨频繁，造成严重洪涝灾害。欧洲、非洲及南美洲的许多国家和地区降水异常偏多，导致不同程度的洪水，俄罗斯西伯利亚地区发生百年不遇的大洪水。北大西洋飓风较常年显著偏多，西北太平洋台风也给沿海地区带来严重灾害。     

Agricultural land use in the coastal area of the Alexander von Humboldt National Park, Cuba and its implication for conservation and sustainability

In the Alexander von Humboldt National Park in eastern Cuba many endemic animals and plants are found in various different natural habitats, which are considered to be the most important ones for in-situ conservation in the entire Insular Caribbean. In some areas of the National Park agriculture is practised. Thus, the objective of this study was to document and analyse the different land use activities and their consequences for local resource management and conservation of biodiversity in two village areas. A particular question was: what has changed since the foundation of the National Park in 1996? As time series data for land use and aerial photographs were not available for this part of Cuba, a qualitative evaluation was carried out. For this, six different land use units were mapped in 2001 and additional information gathered for areas with special interest related to sustainable land use and resource conservation. Although most parts of the study area are influenced to various degrees by human impact, the different types of land use seem presently not to have a crucial or detrimental impact on the land resources of the Alexander von Humboldt National Park. However, exploitation of the natural resources in certain areas could be improved with different management options to reach sustainability as well as to meet the conservation objectives of the National Park. This includes reduced or abandoned agricultural use of steep slopes to reduce erosion risk as well as a facilitated regeneration of natural vegetation in many parts of the study area to be able to conserve the high valuable biodiversity of the Park. Environmental education seems to have played an important and successful role since the foundation of the Park in 1996. Since then, cropping on steep slopes as well as illegal logging and poaching could be reduced.

Beyond world cities: Central America in a global space of flows

Central America is a region without a world city. Traditionally, the region's national projects have been based upon openness to the world economy: how do the region's contemporary transnational projects connect to the world economy under the new conditions of openness that is contemporary globalization? Focusing upon advanced producer services, three connections into the world city network are identified: global service firms operating directly in Central American cities, local service firms operating indirectly through extra-regional world cities and global service firms operating through Latin American regional offices. Miami is confirmed as the primary world city through which Central America connects into the world economy     

当代世界地质调查工作发展趋势

20世纪80年代以来，经济全球化的发展、高新技术的广泛应用、世界人口的迅速增长和环境问题的日益严峻，对地质调查工作产生了巨大的冲击，地质调查的驱动机制、主要任务和工作内容、技术手段、服务意识等都发生了很大的变化。总体趋势为：需求驱动——地质调查工作的驱动机制由传统的供给驱动型向需求驱动型转变；领域拓宽——地质调查的研究领域不断拓展，从以寻找、发现矿产资源为主的矿产资源型转变为兼顾资源与环境保护、灾害减轻的资源与环境并重的社会型；技术先导——地质调查的技术手段发生了根本性变化，地质调查传统的“老三件”正逐渐被“新三件”所替代；服务优先——地质调查的服务意识不断增强。     

中国地质公园地质背景浅析和世界地质公园建设

2000年以来，中国基于自身丰富的地质遗产资源和保护经验，正式分2批命名了44家国家地质公园，其分布和特征受地质构造背景和新构造运动的控制。地质遗迹的保护和开发产生了很好的社会、经济和环境效益，同时也为世界地质公园的申报创造了条件。     

1996年全球重大气候事件概述

１９９６年，全球平均气温低于１９９５年，但从总体上来讲，气候仍比常年偏暖，是８０年代以来连续出现的第１１个暖年。１９９５／１９９６年冬季，中高纬度地区经向环流旺盛，欧洲、北美东部出现异常冷冬，许多地区遇到数十年未见的风雪严寒；前几年的大范围持久干旱已大大减弱或完全解除，高温热浪的强度与范围也明显少于上年。而洪涝却十分频繁，各洲洪水不断，亚洲尤为严重。北大西洋飓风继去年达５０年来最多之后，今年仍十分活跃。这些气候特点，可能与１９９５／１９９６年赤道太平洋大气状况由长达５年之久的暖位相特征转变为冷位相有关。
