Issues of Globalization and Reflexivity in the Japanese Tourism Production System: The Case of Whistler,British Columbia     

Daisaku Yamamoto  Alison M. Gill 《The Professional geographer》2002,54(1):83-93

This article examines contemporary Japanese overseas tourism from a supplier‐side perspective using the concept of production systems. We first outline characteristics of the evolving structure of Japanese overseas tourism, with an emphasis on the global spread of Japanese travel companies. This provides a frame for presenting an empirical account of the transactional relationships in the Japanese package tour production system in Whistler, British Columbia, where Japanese tour operators play a pivotal role. We conclude that the recent expansion of Japanese travel companies is fostering the functional integration of the global tourism production system and exhibits increasing reflexivity.  相似文献   

Using Spatial Statistics to Examine the Pattern of Urban Land Development in Halifax–Dartmouth     

Angela L. Cuthbert  William P. Anderson 《The Professional geographer》2002,54(4):521-532

This article examines the locational patterns of population and employment and the resultant changes in urban form in the Halifax–Dartmouth region between 1970 and 1996. The article employs the univariate and bivariate K function to measure spatial dependence or clustering within and between the classes of residential and commercial land parcels. The results of the K function estimates suggest that residential land parcels cluster together, commercial land parcels cluster together, and residential and commercial land parcels have become more clustered over time. Evidence of clustering provides insight into the changing urban form of the region and possible multinucleation.  相似文献   

Markets, ethnicity and environment in a vulnerable landscape: the case of small-scale vegetable production on the Jos Plateau, Nigeria, 1991–2001     

Gina Porter  Frances Harris†  Fergus Lyon‡  Jasper Dung§  A A Adepetu§ 《The Geographical journal》2003,169(4):370-381

This paper explores changing socio-environmental interactions in the vegetable producing areas of the Jos Plateau over the decade 1991–2001. It considers the pressures of market forces and ethnic competition and the tensions which arise as interactions between the two are played out in a fragile physical, social and institutional environment. The region has seen a remarkable expansion in irrigated vegetable production, as dry season surveys in 1991 and 2001 attest. Local farmers appear extremely positive in their perceptions of change, pointing not only to expanded production, but also to other improvements, like growing percentages of children in school and improved transport. But behind this rosy view of change there are tensions and a series of unresolved questions which may soon have to be addressed. We examine the changing nature of socio-environmental interactions over the decade and ask whether and how current levels of production can be sustained in the context of a currently largely unregulated production system and growing competition for land. Given the important role of the Plateau as a source of temperate fruit and vegetables in West Africa, these questions have significance far beyond the Plateau region itself.  相似文献   

城市功能区划的数量化方法研究及其应用--以深圳市南山区物流中心选址为例   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

朴庆日  吕斌  赵鹏军 《地域研究与开发》2003,22(1):5-9

文章总结了以往国内学者对城市功能区域的数量化方法研究，认为在层次分析法等方法中对指标权重的确定存在主观因素过多等不足，严重影响了研究的科学性和准确性，文章为了克服上述不足，将多属性效用理论的代理价值法与博弈论的方法应用于城市功能区的布局与研究，并以深圳市南山区物流中心的选址为例，阐述了代理价值法与博弈论在城市功能区域中的具体实践操作。  相似文献

岩体可爆性分级物元分析模型及其应用   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

程绪涛  冯玉国 《地质灾害与环境保护》2003,14(2):57-59

首次提出用物元分析进行岩体可爆性分级的新方法。该模型将岩体可爆性类别、分类指标及其特征值作为物元，根据岩体可爆性分级标准建立关联函数，通过计算综合关联度判断岩体可爆性类别，用实例与其他方法进行了对比，得到一致的结果。该方法计算简便、分类合理，实用性强。  相似文献   

火山岩筒的成因与岩浆作用过程的探讨          下载免费PDF全文

王照波  臧学农  周登诗 《地质找矿论丛》2003,18(2):73-77

在对火山岩筒、火山角砾岩以及火山喷发特征综合分析的基础上，结合有关隐爆角砾岩筒和次火山岩筒的成因研究，从隐爆作用和隐爆角砾岩筒形成模式的角度分析了火山岩筒的成因，提出了火山岩筒是隐爆作用成因的观点；在此基础上初步探讨了岩浆作用的过程，认为隐爆作用应属于岩浆作用过程中的一个重要阶段。  相似文献   

国外漂白粘土和澄清粘土的产销现状综述   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

孟翠鸣 《化工矿产地质》2003,25(2):110-114,122

漂白粘土和澄清粘土应具有较大的表面积、较高的吸附性能及褪色能力,多由膨润土经活化(酸化)处理后制成。当前,德国、美国在世界漂白土生产中占据重要地位。漂白粘土和澄清粘土世界市场销量约86万t/a,其中70％～80％用于食用油和油脂工业。漂白粘土的发展受食用油工业发展的影响最大,亚洲还有较大的发展空间。澄清粘土多用作葡萄酒、果汁等的澄清剂,也有一定的发展前景。漂白土再利用的途径,仍在探索中。  相似文献
