Within universities there has developed a clear theoretical convergence between Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and
geography (Antenuccl, 1991). Studies have revealed that one of the qualified departments to teach GIS within universities
is the geography department. This study focuses on: the importance of establishing GIS as a major curriculum element within
universities. In geography departments, economic geography students require a strong statistical/mathematical background to
allow them to work with major databases. They should know how to design a specific database for economic activities, such
as agriculture and manufacturing, and tertiary industry and how to relate this database to a map, so that changes can be monitored
more accurately. In any aspect of geography spatial location is a key factor and GIS allows spatial patterns to be interpreted
with great facility. Therefore it is important that students have a good knowledge not only of computers and related software
on economic geography, but also on GIS systems (Burrough, 1993). The work of geography students from the United Arab Emirates
(UAE) and other Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) geography departments is examined to evaluate the importance of training in
GIS technology. This paper evaluates the effects of implementing GIS as a tool in teaching economic geography. At present
there are 15 geography departments in the GCC which offer economic geography. Of those 15 departments, only 3 provide GIS
courses within their curriculum, and 4 have basic equipment, although 6 additional departments are to introduce GIS in the
near future.

Geographic Information Systems: A Tool to Support Geography and Environmental Education? 总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6
Sarah Witham Bednarz 《GeoJournal》2004,60(2):191-199
Geographic information systems (GIS) education is at a crossroads in the United States. Since its inception in the early 1990s,
GIS has diffused slowly into select groups of K-12 classrooms through the efforts of geography and environmental educators.
However, many of the assumptions underpinning the initial period of enthusiasm for the technology are now being questioned.
This paper reviews issues identified as barriers to dissemination in order to help shape and inform the next phase of GIS
implementation. First, the existing arguments for GIS in elementary and secondary education in the United States are reviewed
and evaluated. Second, considerations related to developing an improved pedagogical foundation for GIS are explored. Finally,
implications and suggestions for guidelines for the next decade of dissemination and implementation of GIS are discussed.

Japanese geography studies are now being greatly affected by the rapid development of geographical information systems (GIS). Unfortunately, there has been little response from Japanese population geographers to this movement. Is GIS a welcome or an unwelcome guest? After discussing the significance of employing GIS, this article introduces some recent papers that used GIS in the field of population geography on such issues as mortality mapping, migration analysis, and household studies. Then, the two promising population-related topics of married one-person households and fertility are discussed. The ability of GIS to greatly facilitate analysis, which previously needed much time and energy, can be an encouraging stimulus of innovation in studies of current population geography. Therefore, GIS is clearly a welcome guest, although it is too wishful to think that its use would lead directly to a revitalization of contemporary population geography studies. 相似文献

This paper demonstrates a spatial approach towards the definition of localities for health care planning. Recent international decentralisation of health care provision, and more specifically devolution within the United Kingdom, emphasises the need to develop a geographical focus in the delimitation of local structures for health care planning. Geographers, but most especially those applying Geographical Information Science (GIS) techniques, have made enormous contributions in this field and more generally in research related to health services. This paper considers some of these previous approaches and moves on in the light of new technologies, and more importantly the availability of appropriate data, to create localities that reflect dynamic spaces of social interaction, administration and policy. The paper’s focus is placed on the importance of flow data that reflects␣the spatial interaction between services and the population. This data, divided into three sub-groups of administration, education and health, allows us to identify the population’s allegiance to place and ultimately create spatially bounded functional localities that reflect this. Whilst the approach is largely technology driven, it also incorporates the expertise of local health care professionals thus recognising the importance of collaboration and multi-sectoral engagement. Although this combined approach impacted upon the way in which the final localities were defined, crucially it enabled us to incorporate features of both rigorous spatial analysis and a wealth of local knowledge. 相似文献

Transportation has been a bone of public contention for decades, the discussion ranging from traffic-calming measures in individual streets to the continual growth of global transport movements. In the last 20 years transport topics have also received increased attention within the discipline of geography, be it academic, professional or in schools, but the topics addressed by today's transport geography have almost nothing in common with the roots of the field. This means that transport geography is a handed-down, hyphenated sub-branch of geography in name only. In fact, the name refers to a field of geography that is experiencing not only all the birthing pains and uncertainties of a discipline in the process of defining a new direction for itself, but also the sense of excitement and thrill of the new. This paper sets out to show both the role transport geography plays as part of human geography with its concepts and paradigms, and also the role it plays within the political debate on transport. An appeal is made to geographers to become more involved in this branch of our science. 相似文献

Geography has had only limited interchange with the American philosophical tradition of pragmatism. This paper claims that a closer engagement with pragmatism has much to offer to geography, not least in providing an arena within which very different types of geographical inquiry - qualitative and quantitative, human and physical - may find some common ground for useful conversation and debate. However, this will only be fully achieved if geography embarks on a threefold engagement with pragmatism: (1) studies that develop and deploy specific pragmatist ideas and concepts within particular geographical research; (2) studies that attempt to relate geographical research to the wider arena of the pragmatic tradition; (3) historical examination of early links between pragmatism, social science and geography. The history and contemporary revival of pragmatism is described, together with its impacts on social theory and social science. The existing literature on geographical engagement with pragmatism is then examined, and it is argued that there is a much broader relevance within both human and physical geography, not linked to particular styles of research. The question of the history of earlier influences of pragmatism on American geography is then raised, and some linkages charted. The philosopher Hilary Putnam has used the term ‘pragmatist enlightenment’ to describe what he sees as the promise of pragmatism, and the paper concludes by suggesting that this also promises an exciting and fruitful engagement for geography. 相似文献

The expanding needs for ocean resources, together with the design and diffusion of new kinds of deep-ocean and coastal management
patterns, have changed profoundly in the transition from modern to post-modern society. As a result, the scientific approach
to the ocean has also undergone profound changes, which have marked the epistemology of disciplines, their logical backgrounds
and methods. This process has been driven by oceanography, which was born in the 19th century and has benefited, first, from
the monitoring techniques from surface ships, then from the exploration of the water column and seabed, and finally from the
satellite monitoring systems. While that process was evolving, geography has been involved in investigations of marine and
coastal uses and the interaction between human communities and the ocean. Since the mid-1980s, and especially because of the
inputs of Agenda 21 (United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, UNCED, 1992), oceanography has been required
to deal also with deep-ocean and coastal management issues. To respond to this need, interaction of oceanography with other
disciplines is essential. In this prospect geography has an important role because, on the basis of its heritage, it could
contribute to (i) the epistemological discussion of the building up of ocean science, (ii) the analysis of the human communities/ocean
ecosystems interaction, and (iii) the design of sustainable development-consistent management patterns. The conceptual background
and external epistemology needed by ocean geography to optimise this role are presented and discussed.

GIS支持下基于CF方法的2013年芦山地震滑坡因子敏感性分析 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
本文依据研究区现有地形因子(高程、坡度、坡向、斜坡曲率)、地质因子(岩性、距深大活动断裂距离)和地震因子(PGA、距震中距离)等相关影响因子资料并结合地震区基本情况,以GIS技术作为操作平台,采用确定性系数法,开展较为详细的芦山地震区地震滑坡影响因子敏感性分析工作。首先,以GIS技术作为操作平台将地震滑坡的8个影响因子据研究区特征进行分级,构建不同影响因子分级的栅格图层进行地震滑坡分布相关参数统计; 其次,采用确定性系数法计算8个地震滑坡影响因子分级区间对应的CF值,分别提取出地震滑坡最为敏感分级区间以进行地震滑坡影响因子敏感性分析,从而衡量不同影响因子分级区间对地震滑坡易发性敏感程度。地震滑坡影响因子敏感性分析结果表明,除斜坡曲率因子与距震中距离因子对地震滑坡易发性不敏感外,其他6个影响因子对地震滑坡易发性均很敏感,分别是影响滑坡发生的主要地形、地质和地震因子。针对斜坡曲率因子和距震中距离因子对滑坡的易发性不是很敏感是否受内部其他影响因子限制所进行的分析与讨论结果表明,SW向很可能限制了斜坡曲率对地震滑坡易发性的敏感程度,地层岩性对距震中距离因子限制作用更为明显,除奥陶系、志留系外的地层岩性对距震中距离因子敏感性程度都有限制。文章所得成果具有一定的方法理论意义,对于防震减灾工作也具有一定参考意义。 相似文献

This paper employs GIS (geographic information systems) technology to visually display the locations of massacres associated with Guatemala’s civil war. While there have been other, more general maps published depicting the spatial dimensions of violence in Guatemala, few other maps depict this information at the department level, nor have they included information on indigenous populations and physical geography.These maps are part of the emerging field of human rights GIS. For example, over the past two decades, maps have become tools of empowerment in Central America and elsewhere, maps usually made with GIS technology. Indigenous groups in many countries in particular have embraced GIS technology and have begun to use maps as tools in their fight for land and marine resources, as well as greater political autonomy. In the case of massacres in Guatemala, displaying exactly where violent acts took place is one way to educate the Guatemalan public regarding the terrible violence of the recent past. Knowing the name of a specific town where a massacre took place is more concrete, potentially leading to perception of place and people, rather than simply being aware of violence in the countryside. 相似文献

This paper combines labour history and labour geography through an analysis of the making of labour demands in Glasgow during the early twentieth century. The paper asserts how revisiting histories such as Red Clydeside reveals complexities within labour movements and links to more recent debates within labour geography. Archival research provides a relational account of the place-based politics of Glasgow that emerged during the forty hours movement in 1919. This allows the paper to juxtapose the broader international linkages forged by Scottish workers alongside racialised hostilities within the city. In particular, the paper compares and contrasts the progressive internationalism of the strike newspaper with the Broomielaw race riot between local and foreign sailors during the same month as the strike. This comparison also raises the longer-term trajectories of labour grievances to foreground the ambivalent and contested nature of labour demands, identities and histories. In particular, the paper pays close attention to contrasting practices of labour internationalism emerging from the relevant archives. This historical approach makes a broader contribution to debates within labour geography by engaging with the complexities and tensions of labour organising and demand making. 相似文献

Geographic knowledge is usually understood as the knowledge produced by geographers. Yet, it is also produced by people outside
of the academia. But as Western science claimed for its exclusive self the status of ‘knowledge’, others have long been denied
the production and possession of a true knowledge, and recognised merely the mastering of practical skills. The binary opposition
between scientific and other forms of knowledge has been central to the construction of academic geography until the late
1980s, when postmodern thought cast some doubt on the universality of scientific knowledge. This led to critical analyses
of academic geography, revealing its situatedness, as well as to a new interest for the geographies of the ‘Others’. Examining
how geographers have dealt with other knowledge sets so far, and how they have labelled them, this paper argues that other
geographies should be given more attention. This means focusing on the knowledges themselves, and considering implementing
a true dialogue between these and academic geography.

Japanese geography has been greatly influenced by American academia since the Second World War. The first wave was the quantitative revolution, which occurred at the end of the 1950s. Sophisticated analytical techniques and fine spatial models were introduced to Japanese geography and used in empirical studies, especially in the field of urban/transportation geography in the 1970s. The second wave was the new geography in the 1980s, including behavioral, radical and humanistic approaches. The third wave was the GIS revolution in the 1990s, which has been promoting a problem-solving approach focusing on policy matters. In this paper, I discuss how American geography has impacted on the development of Japanese human geography during this half century. 相似文献

Groundwater inrush is a geohazard that can significantly impact safe operations of the coal mines in China. Its occurrence
is controlled by many factors and processes are often not amenable to mathematical expressions. To evaluate the water inrush
risk, Professor Wu and his colleagues have proposed the vulnerability index approach by coupling the artificial neural network
(ANN) and geographic information system (GIS). The detailed procedures of using this innovative approach are shown in a case
study. Firstly, the powerful spatial data analysis functions of GIS was used to establish the thematic layer of each of the
main factors that control the water inrush, and then to choose the training sample on the thematic layer with the ANN-BP Arithmetic.
Secondly, the ANN evaluation model of the water inrush was established to determine the threshold value for each risk level
with a histogram of the water inrush vulnerability index. As a result, the mine area was divided into four regions with different
vulnerability levels and they served as the general guidelines for the mine operations. 相似文献

This article follows the industry employment histories of all individuals who at some point have been affiliated with the declining German or the dismantling Swedish shipbuilding industry during 1970–2000. We analyse the situation of the individual workers leaving shipbuilding, investigating the extent to which they were employed at all, tended to move to related sectors within or outside the region, and whether such moves were beneficial for the individuals. Combining insights from labour geography and redundancy studies with evolutionary economic geography, we find remarkably similar results for the West German and Swedish cases. Our findings indicate a notable impact of the regional industry structure on the labour market outcomes for workers leaving shipbuilding. This suggests that more attention should be devoted to the specific structures of the absorptive capacity of regional labour markets. The findings are discussed within the context of a mature industry. 相似文献
