Studying urban expansion from a longer-term perspective is of great significance to obtain an in-depth understanding of the process of urbanization. Remote sensing data are mostly selected to investigate the long-term expansion of cities. In this study, we selected the world-class urban agglomeration of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) as the study area...

Climate change induces profound changes in mountain territories that affect the activities pursued there. Tourism is one activity that is strongly impacted by these changes. Most research on tourism in mountain regions has focused on winter sports tourism, but glacier tourism, a summer activity, is also severely affected by climate change-induced p...

Historical ecology is an important tool in deciphering human–environment interactions imprinted on landscapes throughout time. However, gaps of knowledge still remain regarding the land use legacies hidden in the current Atlantic Forest landscape; and also regarding how this information can help management of the remaining forest cover. The social-...
L’irruption du chemin de fer au cours du XIXe siècle en France a permis d’élargir l’horizon spatio-temporel en créant un choc d’accessibilité. Si l’infrastructure ferroviaire s’est largement diffusée dans sa phase de croissance dans l’ensemble du pays entre 1860 et 1930, la « révolution de la vitesse » permise par le train est loin d’être homogène....

Delo temelji na opazovanju razvoja poselitve na Logaškem. V sklopu historične karakterizacije, pri čemer sem želel razumeti razvoj naselja, ki se ga lahko prepozna v današnji (tlorisni) podobi mesta, sem se opiral na različne vire: geografski, zgodovinski in arheološki viri (zemljiške knjige, zemljevidi, urbar in arheološka odkritja). S temi viri s...
Water flows through and informs the socio-spatial geography of the Indus waterscape in Pakistan in myriad ways. This paper argues that state-led water development has historically attempted to bypass political conflict by invoking techno-scientific authority to render water development as a purely techno-managerial pursuit. By invoking the scientif...

The focus is on its possible causes, related to the occurrence of droughts and floods in Central Europe in the late 15th and early 16th century. Available sources from the late mediaeval period have also been analysed for the reco...

HAP presents secular (state, palatinate, district) and religious borders (dioceses, archdeaconry, deanery, parish). The belonging of historic settlements to admi...
