Geographical descriptions and geographical comparisons provide a basis for understanding the key features of a place. These classical approaches, revealing the typical and the unique, make it possible to discover the «formula of the place», to understand the rational directions of the development of the territory. Often, territorial development projects are based not on marketing and technical calculations, but on a geographic idea. In this case, we are dealing with conceptual geography, which can significantly change the priorities of society’s development in the future. Conceptual geography is seen as an applied approach, expressed in the practical, economic design of geographical thought. The tourism sector demonstrates a special geographical conceptuality. Tourism is one of the areas of interest for people where the importance of geography is recognized. The most promising planning of tourist routes based on geographical creativity. The tourist industry is especially «genetically» territorial. Objects of tourism and recreation are inherently geographic, organically integrated into the territory, reflecting its features. The article shows the movement from descriptive and comparative geography to conceptual geography on the example of the development of one of the towns of the Perm region. Geographic technologies are actively used in tourism design. The development of conceptual geography through tourism testifies to its special sensitivity, to the ability to show new guidelines for social development.

Full textAbstract:
The proper operationalization of urban and rural is extremely important to our understanding of the impacts of specific ecological context on human behavior. However, even with the ever-improving definitional advancements, our understanding of these community-level concepts, in regards to a comprehensive geographic space, is still somewhat unsatisfying. This article aims to contribute to this issue through the introduction of a ‘place' based geography using current Census geographies in the creation of a unified geographic landscape of the contiguous United States. The new place-level geography is superior to previous operational approaches to identifying urban and rural communities in that it allows for the examination of both without the additional variation inherent in larger geographies and providing a more comprehensive coverage than smaller geographies. Furthermore, this approach allows for the development of a unique, but phenomenologically meaningful, sub-county geography that substantively holds meaning in conceptualizing rural and urban ecological context.

Geography as both a discipline and wide discourse explicitly aims to conceive the Earth as a whole. Human geography contributed a lot to the critical study of globalization. However, the academic inquiry suggests the lack of conceptualization, which can serve as a readable scholarly framework, teaching and learning in particular. This article scopes the weave of terms related to globalization and geography based on the Dictionary of Human Geography. Acknowledging the reservations of the Dictionary of Human Geography itself and understanding the limitations of the survey based on yet one dictionary this article ponders on the foundations, which can framework the geographical approach to globalization. Focus on detecting the key concepts mentioned in the topical article, clarifying their interpretation and logical context for geographical nexus paves the way for platforming the systemized and generalized conceptualization. The basic concepts of economics and social sciences design the ‘flat-world’ metaphor. The last serves to the vital task of human geography aimed to disclosure of taken-for-granted geographical imaginary and an investigation of its (often unacknowledged) effects, thus, geographical conceptualization of globalization. Geographic arguments serve as an integral part of the logic of the ‘flat-world’ geographic imaginary of globalization debunking. The evolution of academic responses to the ‘political version’ of the world’s general state suggests essence, limitations and further development of skeptical, parameterized, geographically sensitive approaches, and counter-hegemonic critique of neo-liberal globalization. The disciplinary nexus of globalization implicitly refers to economic, industrial and agricultural, population and labor, urban and rural, regional, contrapuntal and feminist geographies. Moreover, the context of the above consideration reinforces the role of human and physical the geographies and the formal theories of location and spatialization, in particular. Notions of spatial organization, place-transcending and place-remaking dynamics deterritalization and reterritorialization, etc. suggest the need for further reverse exploration of over thirty geographical concepts and terms – the space, the place, the territory, etc. – in the context of globalization discourse. The mental map of the conceptual framework of globalization and geographical nexus summarizes the key findings.

Using Harvey’s (2012) Spaces of Capital: Towards a Critical Geography and Sharp’s (2009) Geographies of Postcolonialism as theoretical approaches and Gordon’s (2008) Mapping Decline: St. Louis and the Fate of the American City as historical context, a graduate-level critical geography of urban higher education class conducts field observations of St. Louis’ uneven geographies, centering Ferguson as a point of departure. Our use of critical geography and postcolonialism within education are critiques of U.S. capital accumulation in urban spaces and frame how we analyzed our observations and geographic information systems data. Specifically, we use the subaltern space of Canfield Apartments, where Michael Brown was executed on 9 August 2014 by a Ferguson Police Department officer as the central location. Through field notes of each student’s site visits, bus-riding experience, and GIS data, we aim to provide mixed-method results on spaces of resistance and public transportation access, parts of uneven geographic developments contributing to discourses of U.S. college accessibility in St. Louis.

The periodization of forming modern Ukrainian geography as a synthesizing factor of the science has been examined. Its turning points are thematic analysis of works, features of methodology, dominant approaches and principles. The general scheme of philosophical, historical and geographic approaches has been considered in the analysis of this process. It is important to identify the links of combination and separation of differences between them singling out each of the periods (historical, comparative, structural, genetic and other approaches). At the stage of forming modern Ukrainian geography the following periods have been singled out: 1) humanitarian and empiric (the origin, from the second half of the XIX c. till 1905); 2) natural and synthesis from 1905 till 20th years of the XX c. (first professional and theoretical principles (concepts) and generalizations were formed); 3) theoretical (theoretical and applied) covers the period from 20–30th years till 50th years of the XX c. (the main theoretical positions of the professional science and education of geographers were developed). Several dominant paradigms changed one another during the mentioned periods in geography (chorological, component and complex). Key words: formation and periodization of geography, methodological approaches, geographic topics

Full textAbstract:
The paper is devoted to the outstanding soviet geographer and soil scientist, Doctor of Geographical Sciences (1964), Professor (1968) Vladimir Fridland (1919–1983). A prominent place in his research works was taken by geospatial comparative-geographic studies. V. Fridland took part in many research projects in various parts of the world, including his motherland. From the actualistic and evaluative positions, the paper considers the important (at present) results from the seminal works of V. Fridland, which he had obtained using a wide range of methodological tools and research techniques, including comparative-geographical approach. V. Fridland also made an important contribution to the formation and development of natural geography. He enriched theoretical, methodological and applied aspects not only of soil science, but of geography in general. In his work of 1956, the scientist convincingly, in a concise comparative form and causal relationship, highlighted the natural conditions of the USSR and outlined their foreign analogues. In his influential work of 1964, V. Fridland had investigated the weathering processes, types of weathering, genesis and geography of soils in Northern Vietnam. In the 1970s, the pioneering scientist created a new research area – the doctrine of the structure of soil cover. Through field research in many regions of the Earth, the scientist has used and improved the approaches and methods of many natural sciences, including comparative one. V. Fridland successfully and productively used in scientific research almost the entire range of comparative-geographical methods. V. Fridland was the first one in the soviet geography to identify comparative method as an approach.

Full textAbstract:
We study the correlation between phylogenetic and geographic distances for the languages of the Andic branch of the East Caucasian (Nakh-Daghestanian) language family. For several alternative phylogenies, we find that geographic distances correlate with linguistic divergence. Notably, qualitative classifications show a better fit with geography than cognacy-based phylogenies. We interpret this result as follows: The better fit may be due to implicit geographic bias in qualitative classifications. We conclude that approaches to classification other than those based on cognacy run a risk to implicitly include geography and geography-related factors as one basis of genealogical classifications.

Full textAbstract:
The Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) infects the vast majority of human individuals worldwide (~90%) and is associated with several diseases, including different types of cancer and multiple sclerosis, which show wide variation in incidence among global geographical regions. Genetic variants in EBV genomic sequences have been used to determine the geographical structure of EBV isolates, but our understanding of EBV diversity remains highly incomplete. We generated sequences for 13 pivotal EBV genes derived from 103 healthy individuals, expanding current EBV diversity datasets with respect to both geographic coverage and number of isolates per region. These newly generated sequences were integrated with the more than 250 published EBV genomes, generating the most geographically comprehensive data set of EBV strains to date. We report remarkable variation in single-gene phylogenies that, when analysed together, show robust signals of population structure. Our results not only confirm known major global patterns of geographic variation, such as the clear separation of Asian isolates from the rest, and the intermixed relationships among African, European and Australian isolates, but yield novel phylogenetic relationships with previously unreported populations. We provide a better understanding of EBV’s population structure in South America, Africa and, by the inclusion of Turkey and Georgia, we also gain insight into EBV diversity in Western Asia, a crossroads connecting Europe, Africa and Asia. In summary, our results provide a detailed world-wide characterisation of EBV genetic clusters, their enrichment in specific geographic regions, novel inter-population relationships, and a catalogue of geographically informative EBV genetic variants.

AbstractRomania represents one of Europe’s countries with high landslides occurrence frequency. Landslide hazard maps are designed by considering the interaction of several factors which, by their joint action may affect the equilibrium state of the natural slopes. The aim of this paper is landslides hazard assessment using the methodology provided by the Romanian national legislation and a very largely used statistical method. The final results of these two analyses are quantitative or semi-quantitative landslides hazard maps, created in geographic information system environment. The data base used for this purpose includes: geological and hydrogeological data, digital terrain model, hydrological data, land use, seismic action, anthropic action and an inventory of active landslides. The GIS landslides hazard models were built for the geographical area of the Iasi city, located in the north-east side of Romania.

Full textAbstract:
Radical geographies scholarship has evolved over the past decades in pursuit of transforming spatial, political-economic, social, and ecological engagements within oppressive structures. Similarly, food systems scholarship demonstrates increasing interest in the scalar, sociopolitical, and ecological dynamics of food systems, often with an applied or action-oriented focus. Building on these connected, yet divergent, traditions of scholarship and action, we propose a radical food geography praxis that is rooted in the intersections of active resistance to structures that (re)produce power inequity and oppression in food systems in specific places and across spaces, and an ongoing process of critical and theoretical reflection about these structures and geographies. The radical food geography praxis we propose consists of three primary and interconnected elements: (1) theoretical engagements with power and structures of oppression both inside and outside the academy; (2) action through academic, social movement, and civil society collaborations; and (3) analysis through a broadly defined geographic lens. Through bringing together radical geographies and food systems scholarship, a radical food geography praxis reveals the interconnectivity between places and movements, relationality between land and people, the flows of people, environmental resources, ideas, and culture, and the diverse approaches to achieving justice-oriented objectives. In order to build more equitable and sustainable food systems, it is essential to engage with these geographic realities in deeply theoretical and action-oriented ways.

Geographical and regional-economic studies are explored approaches to studying the content and features of tourism marketing, including its regional aspects. The analysis of scientific publications on the problems of the scientific reflection of regional aspects of tourism marketing is presented. Considered and substantiated expediency of separation the terms “regional tourism marketing” and “marketing of the tourist region”. Are substantiated necessity and expediency of application of the category of the geographic region as a complex territorial system as an integral object of regional marketing in tourism; features and principles of such application are considered. It is emphasized on the necessity of applying the principle of regionalism because system-geographical and regional-economic aspects are one of the foundations of regional tourism marketing. It is noted that in scientific research on the basis of a systematic approach, it is usually necessary to take into account two aspects: ontological and epistemological. It is determined that the region is a socio-geographical system, which first of all represents an interconnected set of various quality elements (nature-population-economy) in conditions of an integral territory. The features of perspective approaches to the geographical deepening of the principles of regional tourism marketing are outlined. The authors state that in accordance with the geographical methodology, the hierarchy of geographical regions is divided: the zonal region-macroregion – mezoregion – microregion – nanoregion. Based on the study, indicated the urgency of the task of applying geographic approaches to the substantiation of the essence and methods of evaluation of tourist resources, identification and substantiation of the marketing essence of the forms of territorial localization of the tourist sphere, a comprehensive analysis of the territorial structure and regional differentiation of the tourist product, substantiation of geoecological norms, analysis and optimization of transport-territorial systems as elements of a tourist product and as elements of the infrastructure of the region.

The article describes the importance of field practice as one of the important components of the training of future geography teachers. Attention is paid to the fact that during the practice of practice, students consolidate the knowledge, skills and abilities obtained in lectures, labs and practical classes, master the new methods of knowledge of natural processes, become acquainted with the problems of rational nature management and outline possible ways of their solution.The relevance of field practice in geography is substantiated during which students – future specialists are preparing for independent geographic research and systematic use of local lore materials in their pedagogical activities.It is noted that the full implementation of competence, activity and personality oriented approaches involves active interaction between students and the teacher (interactive) training, the widespread use of competence-oriented tasks, problem-solving materials, research and research training, student projects. The realization of such tasks in the preparation of future teachers of geography is carried out both theoretically and directly during field practice.It has been determined that field practice in geographic disciplines is an integral and extremely important component of the training of geography teachers. Field practice is considered as a direct continuation of classroom activities and is closely related to them.The main tasks of field practice in geography are the consolidation of theoretical knowledge, practical skills and skills acquired during lecture courses, in laboratory and other types of classroom studies, mastering the methods of field-study studies (collection of actual material, its systematization, synthesis and preparation of scientific reports); expansion of theoretical concepts and practical skills as a basis for the study of the following physical-geographical, economic-geographical and methodological disciplines; development of students of geographic thinking, ability to identify and analyze causal relationships between various natural phenomena and processes, components of nature, natural and economic activity.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn Vienna, the close of the First World War and the period of the peace negotiations in Paris saw an enormous boom of ethnic-geographic research approaches and ethnic map-making. This process continued with the appointment of the Viennese geographer Hugo Hassinger (1877–1952) to the chair of human geography at the University of Vienna in 1931 and intensified with the establishment of the South East German Research Association and the National Socialist takeover in March 1938. But did the initiatives to create ethnic maps originate with politicians and authorities, or did they come from the scientists themselves? This article argues that scientists embarked upon ethnic geographies on their own initiative. Although political institutions used scientists and their resources for their own, political ends (ethnographic maps served as an important source for the National Socialists in their operations for ethnic consolidation), scientists also mobilized resources from the political sphere for career and disciplinary purposes.

Full textAbstract:
Transportation planners increasingly use new forms of online public participation alongside traditional in-person approaches, including crowdsourcing tools capable of encouraging geographically specific input. Digital involvement may be particularly valuable in exploring methods to plan at a megaregional scale. Research is beginning to address digital inequalities, recognizing that broadband and smartphone access may restrict opportunities for disadvantaged groups. However, the geography and equity of participation remain pragmatic issues for practice and research. This paper reviews the geography and equity of the participation methods in Austin, Texas for active transportation (bicycling and pedestrian) through three approaches to co-produce informed plans: in-person meetings, public participation geographic information system (PPGIS), and an emerging smartphone platform that logs trips and encourages input on route quality. In addition to spatial analysis with standard deviational ellipses, we include qualitative case analysis to contextualize the geographic and equity implications of different participation approaches. Results show that both online techniques resulted in a larger geography for participation than in-person meetings, with the regional PPGIS covering the most area. However, review of the income levels in each area shows that use of the smartphone-based crowdsourcing platform was aligned with lowest-income areas. This study shows that online participation methods are not homogeneous regarding geography or equity. In some contexts, smartphone applications can help reach lower-income communities, even when compared with in-person meetings. Crowdsourcing tools can be valuable approaches to increase geography and equity of public participation in transportation planning.

Full textAbstract:
The 20th century witnessed the rise of social physics: the application of models and techniques developed for physical processes to social phenomena. Social physics left an enduring legacy in human geography via its stepchildren, spatial analysis and GIS, shifting geography from microgeography (description-seeking) and towards macrogeography (law-seeking). Social physics is back in the 21st century, and its renaissance with a concurrent rise in computational and data-driven approaches to science and policy raises a wide range of concerns, including the claim that this is just macrogeography writ large: a single-minded pursuit of social laws at the cost of treating people as particles and spatial context as abstract and sterile. I argue that this time is different: a more sophisticated social physics, spatial analysis and GIScience are emerging that emphasize heterogeneity and spatial context as key drivers of interesting behavior. I also argue that new social physics suggests another path to geographic knowledge somewhere in the middle: mesogeography – a focus on how processes evolve in spatial context. I discuss GIScience techniques and approaches that can facilitate the quest for mesogeographic knowledge.

The features, advantages and disadvantages of using QGIS, ArcGIS and MapInfo Pro when creating atlases of various types (geographic, complex and thematic) are considered in this paper. Schemes for their potential organization are presented and technological schemes for their automated creation in these geographic information systems are proposed. As a result, approaches and solutions for improving geographic information software can be formulated. Algorithms and modules were developed, primarily aimed at formalizing the structure of atlases and automating the design process of their mathematical basis. The development of functionality was implemented using built-in developer tools implemented in MapInfo as the MapBasic language, and in ArcGIS and QGIS in the Python programming language. A summary table was compiled, which presents the basic functionalities required to create atlases in GIS and their implementation in the appropriate software. These proposals will ensure the fulfillment of all requirements necessary for atlas design, primarily at the regional mapping level.

The most important condition for training specialists in modern higher education institutions is the possession of information systems and technologies. The article highlights the relevance of training future teachers of geography via using modern geographic information systems. Informatization of society ensures the future development of science, education, production, forms a reality.
For future teachers of geography it is important to be able to apply modern methods of information processing, use databases to develop projects based on modern geographical information systems.
The article analyzed the importance of using software in the educational process on the example of open GIS SAGA and QGIS, the use of resources of EO Browser, Giovanni, Google (GoogleEarth). The specifics of the work of students of geographical specialties is the ability to operate with data that have geo-referenced objects, their mutual location in the territory, consistency between many factors of territorial organization. The result of such activities is a developed geographical map or system project. They demonstrate the patterns of distribution of objects or processes in the territory.
The article identifies competency-oriented approaches in teaching future geography teachers in an information-modernized educational space. Working with open GIS SAGA during the implementation of practical tasks allows you to form general and professional competencies, soft skills – the ability to act collectively and teamwork skills.
The importance of geographic information systems makes it necessary to increase the number of hours in student curricula. The curriculum for the training of specialists is constantly being improved by making suggestions by students, teachers, and stakeholders.

IP geolocation databases map IP addresses to their physical locations. They are used to determine the location of online users when their precise location is unavailable. These databases are vital for a number of online services, including search engine personalization, content delivery, local ads, and fraud detection. However, IP geolocation databases are often inaccurate. In this work we present two novel approaches to improving IP geolocation by mining search engine click logs. First, we show that we can derive which URLs have local affinity by clustering clicks from IPs with known locations. We demonstrate that we can further propagate these URL locations to IP addresses with unknown locations. Our approach significantly outperforms two state-of-the-art commercial IP geolocation databases by 25 and 36 percentage points at a distance error of 10 kilometers, respectively. Second, we present an alternative method of assigning locations to URLs when IP location training data is not available, by instead extracting locations from the body of web documents. This second approach also outperforms the baselines by 7 and 17 percentage points, respectively, and has higher coverage than the first method. Finally, we also demonstrate that our two approaches outperform the academic state of the art based on mining query logs.

Regular readers of Sibirica are surely familiar with the region of Siberia broadly construed, whether the boundaries are defined from an eco-political, geographic, or cultural perspective. Siberia covers an enormous geographic area (generally agreed to encompass the part of Russia that stretches from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east) and is home to just over 37 million people (as of 2021),1 merely one-fifth of the overall population of Russia. Scholars of the region will also know that this sparsely populated area nevertheless boasts considerable cultural and linguistic diversity, with over three dozen distinct Indigenous language groups (Vajda 2009), each with its own distinct lifeways and traditions linked largely to stewardship of the land on which the people live.

The contemporary world is uneven not only in terms of the quality of life and economic development, but also in cultural issues that define awareness of global development processes. Geographies of energy co-create various energy paradigms and territorial development scenarios. This paper has two general aims. First, we want to identify the main fields of study within the geographies of energy. We try to define a general model of geographic analysis in terms of key concepts. The second aim concerns the definition of perspectives of geography of energy as a growing field of interest for researchers. We believe that geographies of energy should undertake a contemporary transition in this area from the point of view of scale and relativity resulting from the presented dimensions of spatiality and locality, i.e., differential, vertical, horizontal and transversal approaches.

In order to understand the roles that digital mapping can play in cartographic and geographic education, this paper discusses the theoretical and methodological approach used in a research that is undertaking in the education of geography teachers. To develop the study, we found in the works of Lankshear and Knobel (2013) a notion of new literacies that allows us looking at the practices within digital mapping in a sociocultural perspective. From them, we conclude that in order to understand the changes that digital cartography is able to foment in geography teaching, it is necessary to go beyond the substitution of means in the classroom and being able to explore what makes the new mapping practices different from others already consolidated in geography teaching. Therefore, we comment on some features of new forms of cartographic literacy that are in full development with digital technologies, but which are not determined solely by their use. The ideas of Kitchin and Dodge (2007) and Del Casino Junior and Hanna (2006) are also an important reference for the research. Methodologically, this approach helps us to understand that in the seek to comprehend maps and their meanings, irrespective of the medium used, we are dealing with a process of literacy that is very particular and emergent because it involves not only the characteristics of the map artifact and of the individual that produces or consumes it, but depends mainly on a diversity of interconnections that are being built between them (map and individual) and the world.

This paper presents empirical research that supports territorial approaches to tourism product development that ground tourism in science, as a mechanism to support sustainable tourism heritage conservation goals. Scientific Tourism (ST), in this context, builds on the scientific heritage of a geography, matching researchers with local actors and tourists, through a five-stage iterative process that leads to new scientific knowledge, advancing theory and building relevance for communities through socio-cultural and economic development. This article focuses on the initial stage of the ST product development process, documenting empirical research conducted within the geographies surrounding the Palena River watershed in the Aysén Region of Chilean Patagonia. Both geo-structured literature review methods and results are presented and discussed to illustrate how the outcomes, including a series of maps, can inform and ground actors’ processes of heritage resource identification, justification, conservation, and exhibition, through the development of pilot ST initiatives within the territory. Similar research approaches may prove valuable for other low-density and peripheral geographies that share an interest in grounding tourism on the science taking place within their geography.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis paper is written by a geographer and discusses the importance of ‘thinking space relationally’ in, and for, the social sciences. According to its advocates, relational thinking insists on an open-ended, mobile, networked and actor-centred geographic becoming. I position relational space within the lineage of philosophical approaches to space, drawing on examples taken mainly from human geography. Following this, the paper highlights some silences and limits, namely factors that constrain, structure and connect space. I acknowledge relationality but insist on the connected, sometimes inertial, and always context-specific nature of spatiality. The paper then considers the normative implications of this for politics, thinking first about regions, and then about policy.

Abstract— The article reviews and analyzes trends in the development of Russian cultural geography at the beginning of the 21st century, its specific features, and the latest scientific achievements with respect to the evolution of cultural geography in Western countries. Similarities and differences in the transformation of the main theoretical approaches, scientific methods, and subject areas of specific cultural and geographical studies in foreign countries and Russia are revealed. The most important thematic sections of the article cover the most significant segments of cultural and geographical research in Russia in the 2000s–early 2020s. It is shown that the main focus in the formation of Russian cultural geography (after several decades of neglecting anthropocultural approaches in the Soviet period) was cultural landscape science. The latest advances of Russian cultural geographers in the field of cultural landscape for the first decades of the 21st century are characterized. Domestic ethnic geography, which developed during the Soviet period as part of population geography, is gradually transforming to ethnocultural. Much attention is paid to the correlation of ethnic and regional identity in polyethnic regions, ethnocultural aspects of the geography of nature management, cultural geography of the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Far East. Religious geography is a new direction of cultural geography for Russia, which has gained great relevance in the post-Soviet period in the revival of religious life in a country characterized by exceptional complexity and the diverse religious composition of the population. The article discusses and analyzes the experience of Russian developments in humanitarian geography—a set of research areas focused on studying systems of ideas about the geographic space in different sociocultural contexts. The great practical significance of cultural and geographical research and the possibility of their use for regional development and optimization of the spatial organization of society are emphasized.

Full textAbstract:
A vast majority of the archaeological record, globally, is understudied and increasingly threatened by climate change, economic and political instability, and violent conflict. Archaeological data are crucial for understanding the past, and as such, documentation of this information is imperative. The development of machine intelligence approaches (including machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other automated processes) has resulted in massive gains in archaeological knowledge, as such computational methods have expedited the rate of archaeological survey and discovery via remote sensing instruments. Nevertheless, the progression of automated computational approaches is limited by distinct geographic imbalances in where these techniques are developed and applied. Here, I investigate the degree of this disparity and some potential reasons for this imbalance. Analyses from Web of Science and Microsoft Academic searches reveal that there is a substantial difference between the Global North and South in the output of machine intelligence remote sensing archaeology literature. There are also regional imbalances. I argue that one solution is to increase collaborations between research institutions in addition to data sharing efforts.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with theoretical and methodological principals of process-genetic approach concerning the study of ontogenesis and geography of soils at the regional level. Methods of geographical and genetic investigation of ontogenesis and geography of Rendzic Leptosols have been improved through the introduction of modelling techniques, soil chronological rows, and balance of substances and energy capacity evaluation of soil formation. Peculiarities of Rendzic Leptosols ontogenesis in natural and natural-anthropogenic landscapes with different biolithogenic conditions of soil formation have been established. Based on current investigations, a schematic map of the geography of rendzinas in Western Region of Ukraine has been made up. Particular approaches have been justified according to distinguishing such stages of ontogenesis of Rendzic Leptosols as an initial (primary) → perfect (development and improvement) → permanent (maturity and stability) → and evolution (self-development and quality changes). Chronological periodization of soil geographic investigations of rendzinas in the Western region has been achieved with periodization scheme of these studies made up. The analysis of energetic and thermodynamic properties of chronological rows of soil-forming rocks and Rendzic Leptosols of the Western region of Ukraine on different stages of their ontogenesis has been carried out. Parameters and indicators of elementary soil processes at different stages of rendzinas ontogenesis have been established. Formation peculiarities of morphological, physical, physical-chemical, and chemical properties of rendzinas on different stages of their ontogenesis have been shown. Consequently, characteristic features of rendzinas agrogenic transformation and scientifically based approaches towards usage and protection optimization of the investigated soils have been determined. Systematized and generalized pedochronologic information can be used to solve process-genetic, functional-geographical and classification-diagnostic problems, and tasks of rational application and protection of Rendzic Leptosols of Western Region of Ukraine. Suggested results of the research can be applied towards bonitet soil evaluation as well as monetary estimation of the land, and the development of territory organization projects, aiming at optimizing the soil-ecological condition of agricultural land. Obtained results are recommended for improving methods of soil-geographic and soil-agricultural zoning. Key words: ontogenesis and geography of Rendzic Leptosols, elementary soil processes, stages of ontogenesis, agrogenic transformation.

Full textAbstract:
This research presents a pilot study to develop and compare methods of geographic imputation for estimating the location of missing activity space data collected using geographic ecological momentary assessment (GEMA). As a demonstration, we use data from a previously published analysis of the effect of neighborhood disadvantage, captured at the U.S. Census Bureau tract level, on momentary psychological stress among a sample of 137 urban adolescents. We investigate the impact of listwise deletion on model results and test two geographic imputation techniques adapted for activity space data from hot deck and centroid imputation approaches. Our results indicate that listwise deletion can bias estimates of place effects on health, and that these impacts are mitigated by the use of geographic imputation, particularly regarding inflation of the standard errors. These geographic imputation techniques may be extended in future research by incorporating approaches from the non-spatial imputation literature as well as from conventional geographic imputation and spatial interpolation research that focus on non-activity space data.

This paper presents a brief review of risk studies in Geography since the beginning of the 20th century, from approaches focused on physical-natural components or social aspects, to perspectives that incorporate a systemic approach seeking to understand and explain risk issues at a spatial level. The systemic approach considers principles of interaction between multiple variables and a dynamic organization of processes, as part of a new formulation of the scientific vision of the world. From this perspective, the Complex Systems Theory (CST) is presented as the appropriate conceptual-analytical framework for risk studies in Geography. Finally, the analysis and geographic information integration capabilities of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) based on spatial analysis are explained, which position it as a fundamental conceptual and methodological tool in risk analysis from a systemic approach.

The activity of a river port is based on the reception of ships, their loading and unloading, as well as the storage of goods. To improve the efficiency of port administrations, improvement and implementation of new approaches to the transportation and storage of goods is required, which also includes the use of geographic information systems. The capabilities of the cartographic research method for constructing a geographic information model of the river port, analyze existing GIS of this topic are considered. Based on the analysis, the software was selected, the main cartographic and statistical sources were selected to create a geographic information system, and a database of the designed GIS was developed. General geographical and thematic objects are shown for which map symbols were designed. The indicators of the direction of the river flow are obtained, on the basis of which it is planned to obtain data on cargo flows.

Several articles have considered procedures for identifying markets susceptible to coordination. When a checklist of factors is considered, firms are usually assumed to be coordinating based on price. In this article, this approach is adapted to accommodate markets that may be coordinating on other focal points based on geographic or customer allocations. Some of the check-list features are still valid, but others need to be seen in a new light. New approaches for identifying tacit collusion in these markets are outlined. The example of the recent UK market investigation into cement is discussed as well as some other literature.

Canada's political, economic and geographic make-up have influenced the approaches to hazardous waste management. Split jurisdiction between the federal and provincial governments on environmental issues has made consensus decisions expedient. These consensus approaches combined with some preference for public sector ownership of hazardous waste treatment and disposal facilities distinguish the Canadian system from the hazardous waste regulatory regime in the United States. Because many of the Canadian hazardous waste management guidelines have been recently developed, they may reflect the benefit of learning from experiences elsewhere, both positive and negative.

Full textAbstract:
Updating dialect maps requires extensive language surveys. Geographic methods can be applied to identify relatively stable boundaries of dialect and subdialect areas, allowing language surveys to focus on boundaries that may change and thereby reduce survey costs. Certain scholars have pointed out that the watershed boundary can be employed as the boundary of Tibetan dialect areas. This paper adds that the lowest-grade road breakpoint line and no-man’s-land boundary can also be used as essential indicators for determining stable (sub)dialect area boundaries. Combined with the revised First Law of Geography and the method of superposition analysis of geographic elements, this study identifies indicators that affect the stability of the Tibetan (sub)dialect area boundaries and evaluates the stability of each boundary segment. Due to the particularity of the study area, most Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (Chinese part) (sub)dialect area boundaries are stable. In addition, boundary inaccuracies caused by defects in the distribution of language survey samples can be identified by geographic approaches.

Geographic data plays an essential role in various Web, Semantic Web and machine learning applications. OpenStreetMap and knowledge graphs are critical complementary sources of geographic data on the Web. However, data veracity, the lack of integration of geographic and semantic characteristics, and incomplete representations substantially limit the data utility. Verification, enrichment and semantic representation are essential for making geographic data accessible for the Semantic Web and machine learning. This article describes recent approaches we developed to tackle these challenges.
