the alsace-lorraine region in france has been at the center of many fateful events, such as two world wars, due to its distinct geographical placement between two important european countries – that is, france and germany. the identity of the alsace-lorraine population has had many links with germany because of geographical, linguistic and historical features that the two share. moreover, throu...

Valuable resources often exist at distant points from a firm’s current locations, so that strategic decisions such as growth have a spatial dimension in which firms seek information and choose between geographically distributed alternatives. Studies show that geographic proximity facilitates the flow of resources, but there is limited understanding of factors that exacerbate or ease the impact ...

This paper reports the results of a series of experiments designed to establish how non-expert subjects conceptualize geospatial phenomena. Subjects were asked to give examples of geographical categories in response to a series of diŒerently phrased elicitations. The results yield an ontology of geographical categories—a catalogue of the prime geospatial concepts and categories shared in common...

the method of sampling unit was applied according to the importance of the park in urban landscape structure with the initial purpose of planning method to maximize environmental sustainability and recognizing the structural elements within the park. swot technique has been applied to analyze collected data and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of affected areas. ...

We suggest that the proximity of a country to other countries is a factor that affects its choice as an MNE location. We introduce the concept of a country’s proximity to the global distribution of knowledge, markets and resources, and frame this concept as a function of both geographic distance and the worldwide spatial distribution of these factors. We test our location model on a dataset com...

The paper presents a visualisation of a hierarchical structure discovered in a repository of geographical metadata by clustering. The hierarchical structure is visualised as a radial tree. The clusters at different levels of detail are represented by the vertices and the subset relationship between the clusters by the edges of the tree. The similarity between elements in different clusters is s...

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY We hypothesised that the apparent geographical distribution of equine grass sickness (EGS) is partly attributable to suboptimal levels of soil macro- and trace elements in fields where EGS occurs. If proven, altering levels of particular elements could be used to reduce the risk of EGS. OBJECTIVES To determine whether the geographical distribution of EGS cases in ...

This study investigates the basic characteristics and proposes a concept for the complex system of geographical conditions (CSGC). By analyzing the DPSIR model and its correlation with the index system, we selected indexes for geographical conditions according to the resources, ecology, environment, economy and society parameters to build a system. This system consists of four hierarchies: inde...
