Introduction Evidence suggests that the built environment can influence the intensity of physical activity. However, despite the importance of the geographic context, most of the studies do not consider the spatial framework of this association. We aimed t ...
Remote sensing and geographic information science offer many pos- sibilities in terms of availability of diverse data. Some products like land cover layers or digital elevation models can be extracted from imagery and enable the realization of 3D city mode ...
The recurring challenge facing anyone who tries to localize realities in order to show their spatial relations on a map is the systematic impermanence of any objectivized space. Thus any space used as a base layer in thematic maps must be thought of as the ...
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are becoming increasingly popular in the context of molecular ecology and conservation biology thanks to their display options efficiency, flexibility and management of geodata. Indeed, spatial data for wildlife and liv ...
The number of cross-border workers in Luxembourg has steadily increased over the last 30 years. In the collective imagination these cross-border workers come to the Grand Duchy just to work. This paper challenges this representation by measuring the functi ...
Integrating social and spatial networks will be critical to new approaches to cities as material systems of interaction. In this paper, we propose a way of doing so by focusing on the spatial and temporal conditions of formation of social networks – namely ...
In this presentation we introduce basic knowledge about the use of located health data to detect clusters of disease prevalence. Most often, geographic maps are produced to represent health data. Medical information is transmitted through thematic chorop ...
This study integrates quantitative social network analysis (SNA) and qualitative interviews for understanding tourism business links in isolated communities through analysing spatial characteristics. Two case studies are used, the Surselva-Gotthard region ...
At which spatial scale can selection be tracked? Very high-resolution environmental and genome-wide molecular characterization in Arabis alpina shall indicate if local adaptation acts locally or globally. Though termed local in the scientific jargon, adapt ...
Cultural Recebido em 18 de junho de 2015 Aprovado em 19 de junho de 2015 geography proposes an apparently innovative project but it actually raises a dual epistemo- logical issue. First of all, is it a new field inside geography or a school of thought that ...
