‘Let this forest for ever rest’:* tracking protest and identity in Australia’s forests     

Thomas O'Brien 《The Australian geographer》2019,50(3):365-380

ABSTRACT

Exploitation of natural resources has long been a flashpoint for contention in Australia. This is clear in the case of forest management, where groups advocating protection have faced off against state and industry actors. The move towards multifunctionalism that recognises different values in the management of natural resources has led to a search for alternative solutions. In the case of forestry, introduction of Regional Forest Agreements (RFA) in the 1990s sought to devolve responsibility to the States, while striking a balance between economic and environmental considerations. The aim of this paper is to identify how forest activism has developed since the RFA process began and its significance in relation to changes in land use. The paper draws on a protest event catalogue of forest-related events over the 1997–2017 period to identify the intensity, tactics and location of such actions. The findings suggest that state action has reduced the intensity of contention, in line with changes in resource management practices. However, they also point to the importance of identity and its link to the social construction of resources in determining the ability of actors to de-escalate and find solutions.  相似文献   

顾及局部与结构特征的稀疏多项式逻辑回归高光谱图像分类方法     

沈宇臻  官云兰  杨禄  刘承承  严小芳 《测绘通报》2019,(6):24-28

稀疏多项式逻辑回归在分类中仅利用图像光谱信息，导致分类效果不太理想。本文提出了一种顾及局部与结构特征的稀疏多项式逻辑回归高光谱图像分类方法。首先利用加权均值滤波与拓展形态学多属性剖面对原始高光谱图像进行局部与结构特征提取；然后对二者进行加权平均特征级融合以获取更具唯一性的像元特征；最后由稀疏多项式逻辑回归分类器对融合结果进行分类。结果表明，本文方法能有效地提高分类精度，而且具有较强的稳健性。  相似文献   

Acquisition of industrial enterprises and its relations with regional identity: The case of the beer industry in Central Europe     

Kryštof Materna  Jiří Hasman  David Hána 《Norsk geografisk tidsskrift. Norwegian journal of geography》2019,73(4):197-214

ABSTRACT

The development of globalisation has ushered in fundamental changes that have led to a break in the relationship between places of production and places of consumption, and sometimes a rejection of global products and corporations at the local level in accordance with neolocalism. The objective of the article is to examine the effect of regional identity on the local impacts of global processes by applying a multilevel analysis of the brewing industry, in which consumers are very sensitive to changes in the beer offered and can influence it, for example by putting pressure on representatives of restaurants. Beginning with extensive research on the international level, the authors point out the various impacts of brewery acquisitions in three Central European countries – Czechia, Poland and Slovakia – that differ regarding the role of beer in the identity of their inhabitants. Thereafter, they focus on two Czech beer brands, the production of which was relocated to other regions after acquisitions. Based on field studies in the regions of the brands’ original production, the authors find that both brands lost popularity among their original customers. They conclude that for Czech customers, the place of production may be an important factor when choosing a beer brand.  相似文献   

国家统一的地理学解释——以东西德统一为例     

何金廖  Hans GEBHARDT  黄贤金  曾刚 《地理学报》2019,74(4):770-779

国家的统一问题一直是关乎区域稳定发展、民族复兴乃至世界和平的大事,然而在地理学领域系统讨论该命题的研究尚不多见。事实上,地理学拥有比政治学和法学更为综合的理论分析体系,尤其是随着政治地理学的快速崛起,从地理学视角解析国家统一的发生机理和影响机制已经日渐成熟。本文从国家主权学说、地缘政治学、后殖民主义、新帝国主义等理论出发,试图构建“国家统一地理学”的分析框架,将国家统一分解为地缘政治重构、经济一体化和文化认同重建3个不同的阶段;并通过东西德国统一的案例分析,深入诠释了德国统一过程中政治版图和地缘格局变化,德国统一后漫长的经济一体化和原西德资本主义的野蛮扩张,以及由于长时间受到不同文化帝国主义渗透带来的民族身份认同分歧问题。德国案例很好地展示了从地理学视角探讨国家统一问题的优越性,同时德国的案例分析可为其他国家的统一问题提供参考与借鉴。  相似文献   

10~30 d延伸期可预报性与预报方法研究进展   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1       下载免费PDF全文

10~30 d延伸期的可预报性既依赖于初始条件,也与缓变的下垫面有关,寻找延伸期时段内可预报性较高的低频特征,识别延伸期的可预报性来源及影响的物理机制是提高延伸期预报水平的关键。近年延伸期可预报性来源、热带大气季节内振荡监测预测和影响等领域的研究取得较大进展,提出和应用了动力统计相结合以及大气低频信号释用等新的延伸期预报方法。对延伸期可预报性来源及其与初值和外强迫异常的关系分析表明,海气相互作用能提高亚洲和西太平洋区域延伸期时段大气环流和要素的可预报性。热带大气季节内振荡、平流层爆发性增温以及各种次季节尺度的海气、陆气耦合作用和大气响应均为延伸期预报提供了重要的可预报性来源。由于数值模式延伸期时段的预报性能与实际业务需求还存在一定距离,基于动力统计相结合和物理统计的延伸期预报方法被广泛应用于业务预报,表现出一定的预报技巧。  相似文献   

Engaging Diasporas for Development: a case study of Pitcairn Island     

Maria Amoamo 《The Australian geographer》2015,46(3):305-322

Diaspora engagement is a growing trend and many governments, international organisations and policy makers are increasingly focusing on the role of diaspora in development strategies for the homelands. Such policies are predominantly critical to island-dense regions such as the Caribbean and Pacific that have suffered high rates of outmigration during the postcolonial period. One such Pacific island is Pitcairn, a British Overseas Territory, and is the focus of this article. But while most of the literature focuses on the positive benefits of diaspora engagement, this paper examines the dynamics of diaspora (dis)engagement and (dis)affection. Each diaspora has a unique set of needs and capabilities based on its historical experience and the present realities of its countries of origin and destination. While much has been written celebrating the role of diasporas in development, diaspora have also shown themselves to have dual natures, with sometimes conflicting identities and allegiances. Based on analysis of a recent Pitcairn Diaspora Survey and ethnographic data, discussion in this paper reveals that the best intentions of engaging diaspora for development can be impeded by several factors including: (1) the complex nature of identity, place and politics; (2) difficult negotiations between past, present and future intentions of movers; and (3) shifting ‘roots/routes’ and boundaries of identification. Consequently, the paper aims to highlight the realities of settlement and relationships of diaspora space and subjectivity with the homeland.  相似文献   

老168平台海油陆采丛式井组关键钻井工艺     

张强  杨华  王庆峰 《海洋地质译丛》2011,(2):86-90

老168平台丛式井组是2009年中石化及胜利油田的重点产能建设项目之一,平台上共部署58口海油陆采定向井。该丛式井组的施工主要有以下难点：井网密集,防碰工作量大;造斜点浅、井斜大、造斜困难;位移大、裸眼稳斜段长,稳斜难度大;钻井液技术必须考虑环境保护问题,可借鉴经验非常少。因此钻井施工难度极大,通过实施优化井场布局及井眼轨道技术、大井眼松软浅地层定向技术、高精度轨迹控制技术、大位移井安全钻进技术,优质无污染海水钻井液技术,最终实现了老168钻完井一体化作业,节约了成本,提高了效率,为今后胜利油田丛式井组施工提供了宝贵经验。  相似文献   

Human geography in higher education in Malaysia: Issues and challenges     

Amriah Buang 《Singapore journal of tropical geography》2011,32(2):155-167

This paper reviews the state of higher education human geography in contemporary Malaysia in relation to four main challenges: defending the unity of identity of higher education geography as a coherent and distinct discipline; ensuring the institutional survival of geography in higher education; enhancing the visibility of geographers as public intellectuals; and fostering the internationalization of human geography in Malaysia. It also suggests possible measures in responding to these. Moreover, while sharing the problems of developing higher education human geography experienced in other countries, Malaysia suffers most from national education policies that place lesser importance on the teaching of geography in schools, that stipulate a non‐English (Malay) medium of instruction, and that have been late in espousing an outward looking research university concept. In summing up the prevailing conditions as depicting a mixed bag of benign contentment, hard‐nosed pragmatism and continuing frustrations, it is uncertain whether recent policy changes to advance research environments in public universities can appreciably alleviate the fourfold challenges mentioned above.  相似文献
