Institutional power-geometries: enduring and shifting work relations in cleansing depots

Institutions are objects of study that raise questions about the relationship between continuity and change. Employment is changing and for this reason it presents an opportunity to explore how it is that paid work might be thought of as an institutional ‘space’ that is made up of enduring and shifting power relations. This paper views institutions through a lens of ‘power-geometries’, that is, as complex webs of relations of domination and subordination (Massey, D., 1992. New Left Review 196, 65–84). The paper illustrates these power-geometries by exploring employment in local authority cleansing depots in South East England. I concentrate on how the inequity of employment relations enables the institutionalisation of work practices. Employment relations were found to have shifted to different degrees according to the particular geographies and histories of labour markets, employer strategies, local politics and worker solidarities. Despite these variations the asymmetry of employment relations is seen to have endured. I conclude by arguing that whilst power-geometries are not fixed, when ‘institutionalised’ they are not easily changed during ‘everyday’ interaction.     

动因与机制——对旅游地社会文化环境变迁理论的研究

制约旅游地社会文化环境变迁的动因主要在于外界旅游流对旅游地的静态平衡系统产生冲击和干扰,分析旅游地社会文化环境变迁,必须从构成"流"的要素入手;旅游者及其携带而来的物能流与旅游地各主体要素(政府机构、旅游企业、旅游地原生居民等)的竞争与协调产生旅游地社会文化环境变迁的动力机制.     

土地利用变更的遥感应用分析

发现变化区域和变更类型是土地利用变更信息提取的主要任务,随着遥感技术的发展,土地利用变化信息提取的方法趋向于结合高分辨率的卫星影像和现有的影像处理方法来产生变化信息模板。本文全面总结分析了土地利用变更信息获取的技术和方法,并在此基础上进一步研究了基于RS和GIS技术的土地利用变更信息获取技术方法,以及高分辨率遥感影像在土地利用变更信息提取中的应用分析。

Land Cover Change and its Environmental Significance in the Herbert River Catchment,North-east Queensland

There has been considerable recent concern over the amount of vegetation clearance in the wet tropics of northern Australia. This paper reports on the results of a case study undertaken in the lower Herbert River catchment in north-east Queensland, which utilised remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to assess both spatial and temporal changes in land cover since European settlement in the mid-nineteenth century. We demonstrate that since European settlement there has been a substantial reduction in the area of Melaleuca, rainforest, and eucalyptus-dominated land-cover patterns. We also provide a range of quantitative measures to show that the landscape diversity, integrity and quality of these ecosystems have also declined between the 1860s and 1996. We conclude that reform is required at policy, planning and enterprise levels if the ecological, economic and social values of these systems are to be maintained in the future.     

深圳市土地利用变化机制分析

利用１９８０、１９８８、１９９４年的遥感影像,通过应用最大似然法和概率松弛法对深圳市土地利用进行了测量。在此基础上,运用分类结果求得研究区土地利用变化的转移矩阵,据此分析了深圳上１５年来土地利用变化的空间过程。结果表明：深圳市土地利用纺要表现为原有农田、果园用地显著减少,城镇用地沿海岸和主要公路干线迅速增加。这一土地利用变化的驱动力主要是深圳经济特区的开放政策、城镇人口迅速增长、外资大量涌入和以房

北京耕地流失的时空动态与调控途径研究

在国际学术前沿土地变化科学的概念框架下, 耕地非农化及其调控机制研究成为核心问 题之一。研究中国快速城市化地区耕地非农化的驱动力及其调控机制, 不仅是现实的迫切需求, 也可在国际相关学术领域做出独特贡献。以北京为案例进行研究发现: 1996~2004 年北京土地利 用变化中, 大多数地类转换都与耕地直接有关, 耕地流失是北京土地利用变化的核心问题; 城镇 扩展主要占用耕地, 且耕地生产力高的平原地区因建设占用而流失的耕地量大; 远郊山区耕地被 建设占用的压力相对较小, 但被生态用地占用的压力相对较大; 人口增长、经济发展、政府行为与 决策是北京等经济快速发展地区耕地流失的重要驱动因素, 解决途径关键在于寻求耕地保护与 耕地非农利用之间的平衡点、积极发挥土地管理政策的调控作用。     

基于 MODIS 数据的吐鲁番盆地 2001—2017 年 植被变化及水热组合影响分析

中国西北干旱地区的气候变化及其对植被的影响一直备受关注。以地形特殊的吐鲁番盆 地为研究对象,利用实测气象站点数据、再分析气象格点数据以及 MODIS 卫星遥感植被指数,采用 趋势检验、线性回归、偏相关分析等方法,探究了该地区 2001—2017 年间的植被变化及其与水热组 合特征之间的关系。结果表明：（1）吐鲁番盆地降水量整体没有显著变化,但北部山区降水增长较 多,气温总体呈显著上升趋势,尤其是盆地底部中心区域增温较大。（2）全区域植被指数（NDVI）总 体呈极显著上升趋势,山区及中心区域 NDVI 增长率较大。（3）受水汽来源和日照时长的影响,吐鲁 番盆地周边山区高程 3 000 m 左右 NDVI 值最高,山区植被最好的坡向是西北坡。（4）吐鲁番盆地水 热组合复杂,水分条件是大部分地区植被生长的主要限制因素,降水与 NDVI 有较好的正相关,在 山区和荒漠区热量增加不利于植被生长,但中心区域受地下水和人类活动影响,水分的供给相对 稳定,热量增加利于植被生长。     

Estimating the starting time and identifying the type of urbanization based on dense time series of landsat-derived Vegetation-Impervious-Soil (V-I-S) maps – A case study of North Taiwan from 1990 to 2015

Land cover and land use change (LCLUC) is a global phenomenon, and LCLUC in urbanizing regions has substantial impacts on humans and their environments. In this paper, a semi-automatic approach to identifying the type and starting time of urbanization was developed and tested based on dense time series of Vegetation-Impervious-Soil (V-I-S) maps derived from Landsat surface reflectance imagery. The accuracy of modeled V-I-S fractions and the estimated time of initial change in impervious cover were assessed. North Taiwan, one of the regions of the island of Taiwan that experienced the greatest urban LCLUC, was chosen as a test area, and the study period is 1990 to 2015, a period of substantial urbanization. In total, 295 dates of Landsat imagery were used to create 295 V-I-S fraction maps that were used to construct fractional cover time series for each pixel. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE)s for the modeled Vegetation, Impervious, and Soil were 25 %, 22 %, 24 % respectively. The time of Urban Expansion is estimated by logistic regression applied to Impervious cover time series, while the time of change for Urban Renewal is determined by the period of brief Soil exposure. The identified location and estimated time for newly urbanized lands were generally accurate, with 80% of Urban Expansion estimated within ±2.4 years. However, the accuracy of identified Urban Renewal was relatively low. Our approach to identifying Urban Expansion with dense time series of Landsat imagery is shown to be reliable, while Urban Renewal identification is not.
