This paper takes a new approach to investigating people who age in place. It provides an explanation for why people age in a place that can be useful in government and corporate planning. Our research investigates the principal factors that drive the decision of a rising number of older Australians to age in place. Many older people wish to age in place rather than move in with their children or be institutionalised. They wish to continue to be active in their local communities and maintain their existing social ties. The concept of ageing in place covers two distinct groups: those who are able to stay in their current dwellings and age in home and those who move house but remain in their local community and age in neighbourhood. Age-friendly home modification is a response to ageing in home, whereas the provision of institutional healthcare and the provision of age-suitable housing to facilitate downsizing are associated with ageing in neighbourhood. Using Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey data, this research examines the mobility decisions of older Australians and identifies the major determinants of a decision to age in place. This research argues for a better understanding of ageing in place, differentiating between those ageing in home and those ageing in neighbourhood. 相似文献

The fractal theory put forward by American mathematician B B Mandelbrot (1967) supplies an effective approach to solve complex
problems. The complex problems in geography have become the main positive study field of fractal theory. Based on the works
of China’s geographers and the summarization of contents of fractal theory, the authors comment on the present situation of
its applications to almost every branch of geography and discuss the related problems and the prospects of fractal study in
geography. 相似文献

Drawing on conceptualization of statelessness and ethnographic research on crucial insights of rightessness, this paper investigates how the politico‐geographic‐legality constructs statelessness in the enclaves in India and Bangladesh. Following the decolonization process in 1947, both India and Pakistan/Bangladesh inherited more than 200 enclaves, which comprise 80 per cent of the world's enclaves. With improved bilateral relations, India and Bangladesh officially exchanged the enclaves on 1 August 2015, and the enclave dwellers will gradually be granted citizenship rights over the next few years. In this period of transition from statelessness to statehood, this paper can be read as contemporary history. This paper will draw attention to three aspects of statelessness. First, conceptualization of statelessness not only applies to the refugeehood or de‐territorialization of people but also relates to the process of constructing transterritorial stateless people. Second, this paper will discuss the condition of statelessness constructed in a politico‐geographic‐legal trap. And finally, the paper calls for a wider empirical and critical focus on the hidden geographies of de facto statelessness. 相似文献

1IntroductionMany natural phenomena such as zigzag coastline, various landforms, turbulent rivers, etc. cannot be described with traditional Euclid geometry, but they are of self-similarities. Fractal geometry takes the complex phenomena as its research objects and has been developed into a specific theory. So it has been praised as natural geometry. What is fractal means "irregular, fractional, fragmental" and its core is self-similarity (Wang and Cao, 1995). To characterize fractals differ… 相似文献

Advances in terrestrial system research in China 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Land surface is of spatial-temporal heterogeneity. Terrestrial system (TS) comprehensively studies on land surface and physical regionalization objectively describes geographical zonation of the system. China has a vast area with apparent spatial variations in resources and environmental conditions, which highly influence on socio-economic development. In this paper, progress of the TS studies in China is overviewed and research priorities in the near future are prospected. Since the 1950s, China has paid great attention to the TS study as its socio-economic development, and conducted research on physical geographical regionalization, eco-geographical regionalization and comprehensive regionalization. Along with the deepening of global change research, dynamics of TS have been highly concerned. During the studies, methodology has been developed from qualitative research of integration of experts’ brainpower gradually to quantitative research based on field observation and experiments of the natural processes, including physical, chemical and biological processes, as well as application of information technology and mathematical simulation. In the near future, TS would combine with the ideology, objectives and key researches of Future Earth program, to focus on the mechanism and regional effects of interaction among land surface elements, the response of TS to global change, the quantitative recognition on regional unit boundary, and the application to TS in sustainable socio-economic development. 相似文献

西方乡村性研究进展 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
在梳理20世纪60年代以来乡村性研究的社会、学术背景的基础上,聚焦于乡村性的社会建构流派及其对中国乡村转型与乡村地理研究的启示。社会建构流派将乡村性看作是社会、文化建构的过程与产物而非先存的事实,重点关注乡村转型过程中的权力关系与差异性。由描述性流派、乡土流派向社会建构流派的过渡可以看作是从关注乡村性物质层面转向想象层面,由追求乡村性的本体、核心机制向探索乡村性的认识论问题,也就是从追求“乡村性是什么”到研究“不同社会群体如何认识乡村性”“不同社会群体多样化的乡村性话语和体验”。而目前的中国乡村性研究主要关注乡村性指标及其模型建构,相关研究对于各级政府全面地了解现存的乡村问题并合理地制定乡村发展、复兴政策规划具有重要的实践意义。在西方乡村研究中,乡村性指标由于暗含线性发展观、无法解读乡村变迁的机制和过程而饱受批判。在中国乡村急剧变迁的今天,现代化乡村发展话语占据着主导地位,而在这一过程中不公平的权力关系和霸权话语对部分农村、农民的边缘化基本没有提及。在这种社会与学术背景下,乡村性社会建构流派对于解构乡村性主导话语、揭示乡村变迁过程中的权力关系及不同社会群体间利益冲突与协商具有重要意义。 相似文献

中国外商旅游饭店业投资的空间动态差异与驱动要素解析 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
旅游饭店作为中国旅游业对外开放的最前沿,一直以来是外商资本配置、汇集和流动较为活跃的领域。外商资本的进入将中国旅游业联接到世界金融体系的同时,随着中国对外开放的深入,其吸引外资的环境也发生了巨大变化,必然导致外商资本在华投资空间格局的演变。研究对1991-2014年中国31省域外商旅游饭店业投资及社会经济面板数据进行分析,发现期间外商投资的空间差异呈整体缩小趋势,并随经济、人口和消费格局演化,其标准椭圆重心向北偏移,且在不同尺度上受对外政策、经济差异、资源条件等要素作用范围影响,空间差异的形成机制与过程差异明显。继而,引入管理学“钻石模型”构建了解释引起这一差异的评价体系,定量化分析了省域旅游饭店业产业环境与市场条件对外商资本空间流动方向、规模和效益所发挥的主导作用。最后,结合当前“一带一路”与“走出去”的战略需求,总结了外商在华旅游饭店业投资空间差异对全球化背景下中国引导外资进入和开展海外旅游投资的启示,并就复杂科学发展背景下旅游地理学发展进行了讨论。 相似文献

There are a number of serious problems connected with building and repairing water-retaining elements in embankment dams in cold regions.
One of them is the difficulty in finding inexpensive clay materials with the necessary structural properties and using them in the
winter. Another is the cracks that appear in the upper part of a dam when the core freezes to the banks, and leakage along the cracks threatens
to destroy the dam. Still another is the process of erosion at the bottom of the core which may occur through fissures in the rock foundation
of a dam and in transport constructions. Also, the behaviour of water-retaining elements during earthquakes is unreliable. All of these
problems can be solved by using ice- and cryogel-soil composites created by cryotropic gel formation (CGF). Our laboratory investigations
demonstrate that the materials proposed for water-retaining elements have the necessary permeable, plastic, thermophysical, and strength
properties to solve all of these problems. Certain constructions of water-retaining elements which may prove to be both safe and
cost-effective are proposed. However, these ice- and cryogel-soil composites need to be field-validated before they are used in dams and
transport structures in cold regions. 相似文献

The outstanding natural and cultural values of Cape York have been acknowledged for decades, but those decades have been characterised by deep conflict. Non-government organisation intervention in local politics has seen a forceful push for nominating some or all of the Cape York Peninsula as a World Heritage Site. We illuminate the authorised heritage discourse at work in heritage-making, and highlight contested issues of ownership, governance, authenticity, and value. These themes contribute to the possibility of marginalising the voices of local people who wish to contribute to heritage-making in Cape York. Politics infuses all aspects of heritage-making in Cape York, and the specific experiences on Cape York reflect larger political processes occurring in World Heritage discourse. The paper draws on interviews undertaken in May and June 2012. 相似文献

Hydrological exchange and subsurface water chemistry in streams varying in salinity in south-western Australia 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Many streams in Westrn Australia are naturally saline. In others, especially in the south-western corner, land-clearance and
other human activities in the catchment have accelerated rates of salinisation of surface and groundwater. Trends in surface
water salinity are well-documented but the extent of penetration of saline stream water into the sediments has been little
studied. As many of these streams have porous sandy beds and their flows may derive from groundwater, hydrologic exchange
patterns between surface water and subsurface hyporheic water were hypothesised to govern the water chemistry of such rivers.
We predicted high rates of hydraulic conductivity, leading to a close relationship between surface and subsurface (to a depth
of 50 cm) salinity, and to a lesser extent, pH and dissolved oxygen. Where surface and hyporheic water differed in salinity,
other chemical differences were hypothesised to be similarly marked, perhaps resulting from disjunct shallow subsurface aquifers.
Triplicate wells were sampled from upwelling and downwelling zones of thirteen streams ranging in salinity from ca. 0.2 to
18 g L−1. Despite the seemingly-porous sandy beds at many sites, subsurface water chemistry only 20–40 cm below the bed sometimes
differed markedly from surface water. For example, hyporheic water was only one-fifth the salinity of surface water at some
saline sites (e.g., the Tone River) or 20 per cent more saline in streams with fresh surface water (e.g., the Weld River).
At some sites of intermediate salinity (e.g., the Warren River), subsurface water was up to three times fresher than surface
or downwelling water. Percentage saturation of dissolved oxygen in the hyporheic water was consistently low (<40%) whereas
pH was more acidic than surface water, presumably due to microbial activity. Vertical hydraulic conductivity may be limited
by layers of fine sediments and clays, implying that the meso-scale (1–100 cm) hydrological dynamics within the hyporheic
zones of these rivers are more complex than their sandy beds would indicate. Assumptions of ecosystem dynamics in saline streams
must be tempered by an understanding of hyporheic salinities as subsurface fresher water may support microbial and faunal
assemblages excluded from the surface benthos by high salinity. In saline streams, as in fresh ones, the hyporheic zone is
an important component of the stream ecosystem and equally prone to disruption by human activities. 相似文献

The study analyzes summertime lightning incidence data across northern tropical Africa from the TRMM satellite sensor during 1998–2011. It uses harmonic analyses to detect the spatial patterns in diurnal variations of lightning activity across the study area. The results are in conformity with previous studies examining diurnal patterns of convective weather processes in this region, with most lightning activity concentrated over land areas. The peak time of lightning activity over most of the study area was during late afternoon hours, from around 1700 to 1900 local standard time. The peak time of lightning activity was observed during early morning hours in some coastal areas, such as Cameroon, which can be a result of local-level convergence between the land and sea breeze. A general progression in the time of lightning activity from late afternoon to early evening hours was observed throughout the interior of the study area, which may be attributed to land-surface heating and associated mesoscale convective systems, and to upper-level circulation in the form of the African Easterly Jet Stream. 相似文献

This paper examines the transcultural relations between researchers and research subjects in a postcolonial research setting. I draw from my experience doing dissertation research in northern Pakistan to discuss how my research subjects' effectively constructed me as a sahib, or what I saw as a colonial subject position. I examine the ways that my research subjects and I co-constructed, although unequally, my position and location as a researcher. The asymmetries of power relations in research are exacerbated by postcolonial relations in this contact zone. The contribution of those I researched is significant towards understanding our locations as postcolonial subjects in this research setting, and the location from which I produced the research. While it was difficult to do research as anyone other than a sahib during my research, the stories I tell and metaphors I employ in this paper attempt to destabilize my location as a colonial sahib, an authority. The scatological references that run throughout this paper are an attempt to write against the inherently colonial epistemologies that underpin geographic research more generally. 相似文献

2008年汶川地震重灾区的泥石流 总被引：20，自引：1，他引：19
2008年,在"5·12"汶川地震后,随着降雨的发生,地震重灾区的中高山区较普遍地多次发生了泥石流灾害,尤其是对一些地震灾民安置点板房区造成了危害,累计造成人员伤亡(含失踪)达450余人,进一步加重了灾情.按照地震与泥石流暴发的时间顺序分类,区内的泥石流属后发型地震泥石流.其特征主要为:泥石流活动频率增高,暴发点多,规模大小不一,流体件质一般以粘性为主,密度值多在2.0-2.3t/m<'3>之间;泥石流的活动范嗣与降雨关系密切,活动范围还受地形因素控制,主要集中在龙门山等中高山区;泥石流危害形式有冲毁、淤埋、堵塞主河等多种形式.因此,在汶川地震重灾区这样的Ⅸ域选址恢复重建,实质上是在上程地质条件复杂的不稳定区内选择相对稳定的安全岛,町供选择的场地极为有限.故恢复重建居民点时应因地制宜,尤其是岷江等江河峡谷区等地的居民点重建,宜保持当地居民传统的分散、多点居住的特点,而不宜于搞成规模较大的集中成片的居民点.这样既有助于场址的安全,义可以避免大规模泥石流、滑坡、崩塌、山洪等山地火害发生时造成大量的人员伤亡.地震重灾区2008年的泥石流活动显示,龙门山及邻近的邛崃山等山区因汶川地震的影响,泥石流已进入强烈活动时期.其强烈活动时间,可能持续10～30 a,甚至更长.对此,要有足够的重视.在可能遭遇泥石流的区域开展的各种工程建设,一定要加强防范措施,防止泥石流危害. 相似文献

Geography at elementary and middle schools in Louisiana, USA., remains a social studies strand along with civics, economics, and history, with no state-required geography course at any level. But because schools may require more geography than the state standard, this research examines the extent to which K–12 students are exposed to geography in Louisiana, using an electronic survey and an interview with state department of education officials. Results suggest that geography remains underemphasized, but the 2011 implementation of new social studies standards, the Advanced Placement Human Geography course, and other initiatives offer promise for more geographically literate Louisiana citizens. 相似文献

Understanding the complexity of store location in sprawling polycentric cities requires exploitation of new spatial analysis methods that can decipher patterns in georeferenced point data. This article shows how the intrametropolitan location of retailing is best understood as a series of interconnected spatial distributions with varying order-based characteristics. A scattered pattern, which initially appears random or chaotic, is a web of differentiated spatial regimes containing wide-ranging order. A variety of clustering and colocation methods are used to uncover spatial patterns of retailing in Phoenix, Arizona. The analysis simultaneously identifies establishment associations and disassociations within and across sectors. Results show that clothing and motor vehicles are the most likely to cluster next to establishments in the same sector. These sectors also have strong intersectoral relationships across retailing. We find limited evidence that the size of establishments significantly increases with distance from sectoral mean centers. Geospatial technologies are increasingly used by individual retailers to locate and manage their facilities. It is important that scholarly analysis of retailing spatial patterns keeps pace, especially as cities grow and land use and land value patterns become more complex. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Changes in growing season length (GSL) are of concern for agricultural, phenological, economic, epidemiological, and bioclimatological reasons. This research identifies spatial and temporal changes over the last several decades in GSL, along with the day-of-year of the last spring freeze and first autumn freeze, for the northeastern United States – a region particularly susceptible to such changes due to the large population and intense economic activities. Results suggest that growing season has significantly increased in length since 1980 as compared to prior to 1980, and both spatial and temporal variation in GSL has decreased for the region over time. Changes to GSL for this region are driven more by a shift in the first autumn freeze date than the last spring freeze date. The areas of greatest increase in GSL in the pre- vs. post-1980 period tend to be in the high elevations, near large water bodies, and near the largest cities. Results will assist environmental planners as they prepare mitigation and adaptation strategies amid a changing environment. 相似文献
