Computer-assisted teaching and learning in photogrammetry

The advanced personal computer models, new storage media such as CD-ROMs, new authoring tools and especially the Internet will influence the production of learning software for photogrammetry. Some examples of learning programs are presented, including experience from the development and use of these programs in the education of land surveyors. They demonstrate the progress made over the years as well as the potential and possibilities of computer-assisted teaching and learning in photogrammetry.     

工程地质力学综合集成理论及其在五强溪水电站船闸边坡上的应用

为了使工程地质学在工程建设和防灾减灾方面发挥更大的作用，作者主张在工程地质力学和系统科学指导下发展工程地质力学综合集成（EGMS）。本文主要论述了EGMS形成的基础、相应的方法和技术以及综合集成中的4个关键问题（包括应变体系、优先监测和加固突破口的设计方法，综合地质信息分析系统、时空综合分析方法等）。另外，还扼要地讨论了如何将EGMS用于五强溪水电站船闸边坡的问题。     

Productivity Profiles of PhD-Granting Geography Departments in the Unites States: 1980–1994

In our study, 48 U.S. departments that grant geography PhDs are compared along four measures of academic productivity. Using 1980–1994 as the base period, research productivity of faculty was assessed by counting book titles, as well as authorships in 77 journals. Teaching productivity was determined by placement of PhDs in graduate programs of geography in North America, and by a weighted index of teaching outcomes. Data were summed for departments, but are reported primarily as productivity per person (per FTE count). The results point to a wide variety of departmental profiles, from those departments that appear to emphasize teaching outcomes to those that are more productive in book publishing and journal authorship, with several exhibiting a balance between teaching and research.     

日本国内旅游业的发展及其地域特征

日本旅游业已成为国民经济的重要部门，据2002年日本交通省的统计表明，观光产业GDP已占国内生产总值的2．2％，这一数字与美国相近。但与西方国家显著不同的是，在美、英、法、意等旅游业发达国家中，国际旅游业占据举足轻重地位，而日本的旅游业却以国内旅游为主体。据日本最大旅行社JTB的统计，2002年日本旅游出行人数为34013万人次(其中出国旅游1664万人次)，而同年日本接待的外国入境游客刚刚超过500万人次。本文旨在介绍和分析日本国内旅游业的发生、发展的变化特征，以及国民不同的旅游方式和旅游地域差异。     

Traces of the secondary Geography curriculum

Abstract: Expressions of dissatisfaction about the post‐compulsory Geography curriculum in the early 1970s were unusually concerted, leading to the creation of a National Geography Curriculum Committee. This essay reviews this history and the resulting Syllabus for Schools: Geography Forms 5–7 as a prelude to a discussion of contemporary curriculum development. The essay argues that curriculum development from 1975 and the ‘education reforms’ of the late 1980s failed to produce conditions in which satisfactory outcomes for a Geography curriculum can be assured in 2005, and that a new and concerted period of participation in curriculum discussion is required. Some goals for this process are outlined in the final section of the paper.
