PRINCIPLES FOR THE LOCATION OF SYNAGOGUES: SYMBOLISM AND FUNCTIONALISM IN A SPATIAL CONTEXT     

《The Professional geographer》2013,65(3):324-329

Two traditional Jewish approaches to the location of synagogues can be found, one symbolic and one functional. The locational requirements are not identical; the symbolic approach deals with idealistic spatial status while the functional approach poses realistic locational demands. This spatio-locational conflict reflects a problematic situation on both theoretical and practical levels.  相似文献   

Gender,Place, and Social Contacts: Understanding Awareness of Vulnerability to Terrorism     

Kevin Keenan  Susan Hanson 《Urban geography》2013,34(5):634-656

Abstract

Creating resiliency, accomplished in part by individuals preparing for disaster, is the primary strategy outside of law enforcement for responding to the threat of urban terrorism. Individuals prepare when they perceive a need to do so, yet little is known about what shapes a person's awareness of vulnerability to terrorism. Because evidence indicates that social contacts act as conduits of information and affect perception of risk to natural hazards, it is possible that such contacts also affect terrorism vulnerability awareness. Because social contacts are also known to be systematically segmented by gender and location, we hypothesized that conversations about terrorism vary by gender and place, specifically the home and work place. Drawing on data from 93 interviews with householders in Boston, the study demonstrates that: (1) family networks generated discussions of home preparedness, whereas workplace networks engaged a wider variety of topics; (2) women discussed terrorism more frequently and in greater depth than did men; and (3) women heard more preparedness messages for the home than did men, whereas men undertook preparedness activities external to the home. The findings bridge geography and terrorism studies by theorizing emplaced and subjective human experiences that prompt conversations about terrorism. These conversations, in turn, help urban emergency managers and risk-hazards geographers promote rational dialogue and action vis-à-vis terrorism. Hazards researchers have shown that the more people discuss terrorism, the less they seek extreme and unwarranted responses.  相似文献   

Skyline-based registration of 3D laser scans     

Andreas Nüchter  Stanislav Gutev  Dorit Borrmann  Jan Elseberg 《地球空间信息科学学报》2011,14(2):85-90

Acquisition and registration of terrestrial 3D laser scans is a fundamental task in mapping and modeling of cities in three dimensions. To automate this task marker-free registration methods are required. Based on the existence of skyline features, this paper proposes a novel method. The skyline features are extracted from panoramic 3D scans and encoded as strings enabling the use of string matching for merging the scans. Initial results of the proposed method in the old city center of Bremen are pre-sented.  相似文献

城市居民游憩地方依恋特征分析——以南京夫子庙为例   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

唐文跃 《地理科学》2011,(10):1202-1207

城市居民游憩地方依恋研究为认识居民与城市游憩空间的关系提供了一个新的视角。以南京夫子庙为案例研究发现,南京居民的夫子庙游憩地方依恋具有地方依赖和地方认同两个维度的结构特征,其中对夫子庙的情感性依恋大于功能性依恋。时间和经济状况是居民游憩地方依恋形成的主要影响因素,其中对夫子庙的地方依赖程度主要受居民经济状况的影响,地方...  相似文献   

GENDER,GEOPOLITICS, AND GEOSURVEILLANCE IN THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM*     

KLAUS DODDS 《Geographical review》2011,101(1):88-105

Generic action‐thriller films, especially The Bourne Ultimatum, the last in a series of three films, provide a useful resource for examining the gendered nature of geopolitics, the specification of place, and the role of geosurveillance in post‐9/11 national security. Using the dialogue of the film as key source material, I show how the private world of Jason Bourne, an assassin, is interwoven with the public sphere of international security, including covert operations: The personal is geopolitical. I conclude with some reflections on how we might use film as a critical pedagogical resource.  相似文献   

Memory in place     

Stephen Hill 《New Zealand geographer》2011,67(1):16-20

Geographers and psychologists both seek to understand people's behaviour and their cognitive and emotional lives so it is somewhat surprising that there has not been more theoretical cross‐fertilisation of the two disciplines. ‘On time, place and happiness’ is a rare but welcome exception, showing how research in social‐cognitive psychology might usefully clarify thinking about temporality, place and well‐being. This commentary examines several additional human memory phenomena that geographers might like to consider in their theorising about these matters.  相似文献   

Making sense of place through multiple memory systems1     

Dragos Simandan 《New Zealand geographer》2011,67(1):21-24

The first part of the paper develops the argument that geographers should learn to decompose human memory into its constituent parts because then and then alone will we become attuned to the full range of ways in which we incorporate places into our beings. The second part of the paper articulates Stephen Hill's comments on episodic memory with my recent work on wisdom.  相似文献   

浅析地名的地域性     

任建兰  公平 《世界地理研究》2011,(3):163-170

地名是人们对不同方位、范围的地理实体赋予的专有名称,与人类的生产、生活息息相关,具有特殊性与地域性。对地名地域性的研究不仅能帮助我们识记、运用地名,还能弘扬地域文化特色,推动区域可持续发展。本文从地理学的角度,对整个国家的自然、人文地理因素进行分类,并举例展现我国各地区的地名地域文化。同时,根据这一地名命名原则,对山东省各市、县区的地名作了一定程度的探讨,并与广东省进行简单的比较,进一步反映出地名地域性在各地区的共同性与特殊性。此外从政策、品牌、老地名、居民等层面提出了规范地名管理的建议。  相似文献
