Understanding Place Attachment to the County in the American Great Plains          下载免费PDF全文

Jeffrey S. Smith  Jordan M. McAlister 《Geographical review》2015,105(2):178-198

The American Great Plains is a region dominated by a flat, treeless, semiarid environment that has challenged population settlement for over 140 years. As railroad companies successfully attracted pioneers to settle the land, state governments established hundreds of counties. Following Jeffersonian ideals, many of the counties were small in area so they could better serve the local agricultural‐based population. When states established these counties, they envisioned that the population would continue to grow and the Great Plains would become the breadbasket of North America. Unfortunately that did not materialize. A succession of hardships combined with serious environmental constraints has discouraged large‐scale settlement in the region. Many counties reached their maximum population in the early 1900s and their totals have decreased ever since (in some counties by as much as 60 percent to 80 percent). This has led a number of government officials to consider consolidating counties much like school districts have been combined. Using Logan and Gove counties in western Kansas as a case study, our purpose is to understand how attached people are to the county in which they live. Employing multiple methods, we gathered information about how different segments of the population regard their local county. We learned that changing computer technology and the Internet has the biggest impact on peoples' attachment to the county seat.  相似文献   

Linking pesticides and human health: A geographic information system (GIS) and Landsat remote sensing method to estimate agricultural pesticide exposure     

《Applied geography (Sevenoaks, England)》2015

Accurate pesticide exposure estimation is integral to epidemiologic studies elucidating the role of pesticides in human health. Humans can be exposed to pesticides via residential proximity to agricultural pesticide applications (drift). We present an improved geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing method, the Landsat method, to estimate agricultural pesticide exposure through matching pesticide applications to crops classified from temporally concurrent Landsat satellite remote sensing images in California. The image classification method utilizes Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values in a combined maximum likelihood classification and per-field (using segments) approach. Pesticide exposure is estimated according to pesticide-treated crop fields intersecting 500 m buffers around geocoded locations (e.g., residences) in a GIS. Study results demonstrate that the Landsat method can improve GIS-based pesticide exposure estimation by matching more pesticide applications to crops (especially temporary crops) classified using temporally concurrent Landsat images compared to the standard method that relies on infrequently updated land use survey (LUS) crop data. The Landsat method can be used in epidemiologic studies to reconstruct past individual-level exposure to specific pesticides according to where individuals are located.  相似文献   

县域城镇化水平综合测评及其动力构成分析——以河北省为例     

吴建民  任国荣  丁疆辉 《地理与地理信息科学》2015,31(3)

构建县域城镇化综合测评指标体系,包含经济城镇化、就业城镇化、市场城镇化、人口和基础设施城镇化.运用熵值法测算了河北省县域城镇化水平,发现2001-2012年县域城镇化水平处在上升状态,主要表现为人口城镇化、基础设施和农村非农就业的改变,但城镇化发展并未提供较多的城镇就业岗位和促进工业企业营利能力的提升.从多年平均看,人口和基础设施子系统对县域城镇化水平贡献份额最大,市场子系统贡献份额最小,各子系统有不同的时段特征.采用多元回归模型分析了影响县域城镇化水平的动力因素,显示推动力呈现多元化特点,各种动力共同助推县域城镇化水平的提高,但动力大小有差异,依次表现为政府动力、市场动力、社会动力.  相似文献

滕州泉上煤矿碳酸盐岩富水性及对煤层开采的影响          下载免费PDF全文

朱昌元  燕伟  李文东 《山东国土资源》2006,22(5):42-45

通过滕县煤田(南部)泉上煤矿井下实际揭露及钻孔资料,分析研究了十下灰岩、奥灰富水性特征及石炭二叠纪月门沟群对太原组16,17煤层开采的影响,认为在开采16煤层时,必须遵循“深部疏水降压,浅部采煤”的方针;在开采17煤层时,正常情况下不会受到奥灰水的威协;在井巷开拓过程中必须慎重对待十二灰,应先查明十二灰与奥灰的关系,防止奥灰底鼓水危害。  相似文献

该文分析研究了彩山小流域的区域坡度和土壤特性,并根据区内土壤性质划分出4个小区域,即:自然坡度在20.～25°内为V1区,15°～20°内为V2区,10°～15°内为V3区,5°～10°内为V4区,分别反映了不同的土壤等级及土壤抗冲能力.同时,也研究出了一个系统化、理论化的科学依据i=V1035B,并对所有砂石山区水土保持治理工作具有借鉴性和实用性.  相似文献   

宽甸北部早元古宙铅锌矿地质特征及成因讨论     

曲亚军  王文清 《国土资源》1989,(3)

辽宁宽甸北部早元古宙铅锌矿位于辽东青城子—吉林荒沟山—朝鲜检德铅锌矿带上。赋存于辽东优、冒地槽的过渡带,靠近优地槽一侧的碳酸盐岩建造中。矿体受岩相、岩性控制明显,属层控矿床。吕梁构造旋回的变质变形作用对矿带的改造不明显。矿带的同位素特征表明,张家堡子铅锌矿形成于封闭盆地环境,矿质来源于大陆边缘深部液态矿源层;而高丽墓子铅锌矿带则形成于正常海洋环境,表现了明显的原始沉积矿床的特点。  相似文献
