Inequalities in Geographical Space

2022
Inequalities are central to the public debate and social science research. They are inextricably linked to geographical space, shaping human mobility and migration patterns, creating diverse living environments and changing individuals’ perceptions of the society they live in and the inequalities that endure within it. Geographical space contributes to

THINKING SPACE GEOGRAPHICALLY

ICERI proceedings, 2016
Teaching Geography becomes different matter with the use of current technologies (like Geographical Informational Systems - GIS) and with the application of effective methods and innovations. Our article presents a proposal how to innovate and adjust a rigid national educational system (Czech, in this case) to the current both theoretical and applied ...

Experiential and Formal Models of Geographic Space [PDF]

Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 1996
In this paper human experience and perception of phenomena and relations in space are studied. This focus is in contrast to previous work where space and spatial relations were examined as objective phenomena of the world. This study leads in turn to a goal: to identify models of space that can be used both in cognitive science and in the design and ...

Structural Stability and Change in Geographical Space [PDF]

Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 1981
Structural stability and structural change in a continuous two-dimensional model of a space economy are considered, and it is suggested that structural stability of flows or parametric families of flows is a reasonable assumption and secures the robustness of the models constructed.

On the design of formal theories of geographic space

Journal of Geographical Systems, 1999
This paper discusses the design of formal theories of geographic space for the application in Geographic Information Systems. GIS software is an implementation of formal theories of geographic space. The notions of formal theories are introduced and discussed in the context of examples from the GIS field.

Orientation in Geographical Space

2018
People live in a certain space and are therefore familiar with the immediate environment; however, the further we go, the more unknown or not at all known geographical space becomes. Thus, there is a need for studying the problem of orientation in geographical space. It allows for safe movement as well as on-ground orientation in nature.

Mapping Historical Documents to Geographical Space

Adjunct Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing Networking and Services, 2016
Geotagging is the process of recognizing place and facility names in a document, and assigning each set of latitude and longitude values. In the latter step, an external geographic database, which contains pairs of place/facility names and latitude/longitude values, is used.

Space and place in geographic decision making

1996 International Symposium on Technology and Society Technical Expertise and Public Decisions. Proceedings, 2002
Recent innovations in computer science seem in some ways to have undercut traditional objections to the use of computers in decision making. For example, if some argued that traditional programming promoted a mindset within which decision making itself was a linguistic and rigidly rule-guided process, new systems of object-oriented programming seem to ...

Space, Time, and the Representation of Geographical Reality

Topoi, 2001
Geographical information science is interesting from a philosophical point of view because the distinctions that its practitioners find themselves compelled to make have important resonances with distinctions that have been proposed in other contexts.

Geographic Space as a Set of Concrete Geographical Entities

1991
This paper address the need for a theory of geographic space that handles space through the concrete objects or entities that actually create and form the space. Several trends seem to show the need for such a theory, which in fact would be a subset of a general spatial theory provided that it would specify what spatial relationships are possible and ...
