THE NOTION OF ORDER IN SPATIAL ANALYSIS

The concept of order has an important place in spatial analysis. It is questionable whether spatial order is generally characteristic of social and economic life, and the empirical evidence is not convincing. However, the creation and maintenance of order do have a role in the reproduction of the social formation in centralized political systems. It is in this connection that the search for order in human geography is significant.     

广州城市水文化遗产及保护利用

自广州建城2000多年来,对水的开发、建设、利用、审美、娱乐等活动为广州水文化的衍生提供了丰厚而独特的温床,使广州产生了独具特色、种类繁多的城市水文化遗产。伴随着广州城市的转型,城市水文化的功能也将发生重大变化,但其遭受破坏现象十分严重。为便于广州水文化遗产的保护和利用,通过对广州水文化、水遗产进行的全面梳理,发现广州城市水文化遗产可划分为聚落文化遗产、水利文化遗产、园林文化遗产、宗教文化遗产、民俗文化遗产和语言文化遗产六大类,并且具有类型多样、品质高、分布集中,连接了广州历史的文脉,对广州城市发展影响重大等特点。广州应加大对水文化遗产的挖掘和保护,要格外注重水文化遗产廊道的开发,营造多样性的水景观,丰富广州水文化遗产内涵。     

INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE AND PLACE IDENTITY IN SPAIN: FROM MONUMENTS TO LANDSCAPES*

In Spain, the birth of interest in the nation's industrial heritage dates from the 1980s and occurred alongside the process of deindustrialization. Policies concerning derelict industrial sites have shifted gradually from destruction to preservation, rehabilitation, and enhancement, and industrial heritage enhancement projects are now widespread in the country. However, a clear mismatching has arisen between institutional and academic initiatives and local communities, which exhibit widespread disinterest in or even rejection of industrial remains. This problematic situation can be related to the utilization of industrial heritage as an economic resource without paying much attention to its connections with memory and identity. Also, the mismatching is due to a positivist approach to industrial heritage whereby the monument and the museum are prioritized. We argue that projects which consider industrial remains as part of cultural landscapes might shorten the gap between the institutional and economic side of industrial heritage and its identity‐building and popular facets.     

THE SPACES OF COPING: WOMEN AND "POVERTY" IN SINGAPORE

This paper investigates the relationship between space, gender and poverty in the dynamic Pacific Asian economy of Singapore. It argues for the use of coping strategies as an analytical tool for investigating these relationships, highlighting how women construct strategies from confined spaces. Drawing on spatial stories and real life accounts, it examines the ways in which women use the labour market, the family and community services as strategies against poverty. The paper concludes that women struggle to negotiate the constraints of inadequate childcare provision and traditional attitudes, choosing instead to remain in the home or enter “liminal” spaces in the form of Family Service Centres.     

陨石冲击历史和冲击变质分类研究进展

本文评述了近年来陨石冲击变质效应和压力温度历史研究的新进展。根据对冲击变质主要压标熔长石性质的最新分析结果和陨石冲击脉体矿物组合研究的成果,指出现有陨石冲击变质分类的主要特点和某些不完善之处。本文提出,陨石按照冲击变质特征可以划分为以下两类:一是含高密度相类,如熔长石和各种高压矿物;二是合低密度相类,如长石击变玻璃、低压熔融玻璃和低压矿物组合。在含高密度相陨石中,可根据高压相的产出种类特点进一步划分冲击阶段;而在含低密度相陨石中,可根据矿物的冲击熔融程度划分冲击阶段。
