Abstract:

Geographical issues on the Czech territory have been traditionally researched at universities and since 1950s also at the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and Czech Academy of Sciences. In 1962 four geography departments fused and the Institute of Geography (Czechoslovak Academy of Science) became the focus of Czechoslovak academic geography. Apart from organizational activities the Institute has extensively researched problems of regionalism and environmental issues. As a result of academic transformation in early 1990s the Institute of Geography ceased to exist. Since then its research activities passed partly at universities in Praha and Brno and at the Centre for Environment, Institute of Geonics, Czech Academy of Sciences in Brno. Thus, fifty years of geographical research on academic grounds has brought a number of research reports, publications, maps and atlases - a significant portion of Czech geography in the 20th century.

Abstract:

Abstract. This article aims at expanding the predominant narrative of a Quantitative Revolution in German-speaking geography, to develop a more complex and multifaceted perspective on this chapter of the discipline's history. For this purpose, I take a closer look at the institute of geography in Erlangen. Eugen Wirth, the long-term chair holder in Erlangen, argued that here, in contrast to the majority of other institutes, the implementation of quantitative methods started in 1932, when Walter Christaller submitted his thesis: Central Places in Southern Germany. According to Wirth a dissertation supervised by him in 1969 was a further step towards the use of quantitative methods. I argue that Wirth made a significant contribution to the debate on quantitative theoretical geography in Germany with his textbook Theoretical Geography published in 1979, although the book was subsequently criticised and strongly rejected by Bartels and others as a conservative embrace. By examining this local negotiation process, I develop one of many narratives, that stand opposed to a unified account with which the general assembly of geographers in 1969 and Bartels' Geographie des Menschen uniquely motivated the abandonment of the concept of Länderkunde.

Abstract:

"The setting up of the Geography Department and its Institute within the Faculty of Sciences at the Upper Dacia University of Cluj. On 16 August 1919, the University Board, the organ created for the organization and employment of teaching staff for the Upper Dacia University of Cluj after its transition to Romanian administration (12 May 1919), presented and proposed the organisational chart by departments, seminars, laboratories and institutes of the future Faculty of Sciences, by means of the Board rapporteurs, scientists Gheorghe Țițeica, Ludovic Mrazec and Alexandru Borza. At the express request of professor George Vâlsan, the tertiary geographical education was also included in this Faculty, as an independent department, the Department of Geography, consisting of two sections and an Institute of Geography. This was a new situation, different from the study of Geography at the universities in Iași and Bucharest. The organisational chart of Cluj University, made according to the ”German model”, was kept until the Stalinist reform of the Romanian education on 3 August 1948. By means of suggestive examples, the main Romanian university institutions newly-created at Cluj University are illustrated and described, some of them under the auspices of the Royal Foundations, such as the Astronomic Observatory and the Institute of Chemistry and Physics, as well as others, like the Sports Park, the new Botanical Garden with the Botanic Museum, the Palace of University Clinics, the Academic College and the Ethnographic Park and Museum. The materialization of George Vâlsan’s concept regarding the study of Geography and its relations to the other departments of Cluj University, as well as the their scientific and logical foundation within the double specialization, are extensively presented, as a proof of the scientist’s determination to lay solid grounds to the Romanian tertiary geographical education at Cluj University. Keywords: Upper Dacia University of Cluj, Geography Department, Faculty of Sciences. "

Abstract:

Abstract. Time and again, discussions at the Institute of Geography in Bern regarding the choice of new faculty or debates about how to position ourselves scientifically have inspired us to re-examine our understanding of our discipline. The structural report, for example, which the Institute’s board of directors presented to faculty and university directors in 1994, describes our scientific self-conception as follows: "Geography is concerned with humankind’s physical-material environment. As such, it is an environmental science. The physical-material environment is analysed according to a dual perspective: as a condition and constraint of humankind and its cultural development; and as a product and result of economic, social, and political processes. This dual perspective requires that the natural sciences as well as the social sciences and humanities be employed to access geography’s object of study. The natural science branches of geography examine essential parts of the ecosystem and associated productive, endangering, and limiting factors and processes; these branches use the methodology of the natural sciences and base their research concepts on the systems theories of the natural sciences. The social science and humanistic branches of geography investigate the economically, politically, and socioculturally motivated principles governing our use of the environment, as well as the significance of the physical-material world in the social constitution of the spatial arrangement of society. These branches of geography use the methods of the social sciences and humanities, applying the theories of both in their research concepts."

Abstract:

The contribution brings the author's personal views and attempts reflecting some of the important events, outcomes and trends in the Czech geography dealing with environmental issues in the first period after the 1989 turnover. The environmental issues permanently provide a large and significant - but after 1989 much more open and challenging - arena to geography. The author illustrates and tries to stress in a critical way based on several selected examples and activities that both geography / geographers activities and geographical studies / aspects / approaches did not effectively use this opportunity nor did they penetrate into the newly evolved and newly forming science and practice policies. On the contrary, the Czech geography's position in terms of environmental issues can be seen as defensive and therefore also weakening, especially in comparison with the development in the former German Democratic Republic, Poland and Slovakia. For instance, the Institute of Geography, Czechoslovak Academy of Science, which prepared and published the unique Atlas of Environment and Population Health of Czechoslovakia (1992) was abolished. Geography, however, must not resign from its role and ambitions to be one of the very important, maybe key disciplines dealing with the environmental issues.

Abstract:

Cultural diffusion is an important noneconomic determinant of tourism demand but has received less focus in the literature. This study seeks to address this gap by focusing on the impact of the Confucius Institute, an important institution of Chinese cultural diffusion, on inbound tourism to China. It is shown that the Confucius Institute positively contributes to the Chinese inbound tourism flows, even when the endogeneity of Confucius Institutes is considered. Moreover, the impact of the Confucius Institute on China’s inbound tourism has a lagged effect and regional heterogeneity. In addition, cultural distance is a mediating variable of the Confucius Institute on tourism demand. As cultural distance increases, the impact of the Confucius Institute on China’s international tourism flow first rises and then decreases.

Abstract:

Issuing of the Decree on the Establishment of Geographical Institute in Petrograd by the Soviet Government in 1918 is usually being associated with the forerunning activities of the Higher Geographical Courses at Dokuchayev’s Committee. In the present essay, information is compiled about the roles of the attendants of Free Courses and the staff of the Biological Laboratory, both of which were organized by P.F. Lesgaft, in promoting geography in Russia. In particular, I.D. Strelnikov, who was born to a miserable peasant family, attended the Free Courses, which helped him to continue education in European scientific centers and participate in a successful expedition to South America. In 1918, I.D. Strelnikov contributed to the establishment of Institure of Geography in Petrograd. The essay is concluded with a judgment concerning the development of the science of geography in the second half of the XX century and the current state of geographical education in Russia.

Abstract:

The first Institute for Advanced Study was founded in Princeton, New Jersey in 1930. Several other institutes followed, both in America, Europe and, more recently, in Asia and Africa. This paper is not a history of such institutes, but is about the idea of an Institute for Advanced Study. Like John Henry Newman in his famous book, The Idea of a University, it offers some general reflections on education, science and art and their interrelationship. It underlines the importance of these institutes in an academic world increasingly dominated by notions of measured output and impact and of policies imposed from ‘above’.

Abstract:

In article methodological features of a research the idea and the conception as object of studying of Chrono-Discrete Mono- Geography Comparative Jurisprudence (CMCJ) are analyzed. The concepts «idea» and «conception» are differentiated; the signs of the concept important when carrying out the CMCJ-research are distinguished. Such signs of the concept as systemacity, authorship, reflexivity and sotsiologichnost are distinguished. Conclusions about the nature of a temporary gap in development of the ideas and concepts are drawn; methodological approaches to a temporary gap are defined. In relation to a temporary gap in existing of conceptions two types of a temporary gap are allocated and analyzed. The first - temporary gap as a result of the institutional embodiment of the conception. In this case the concept arises and develops, having the ultimate goal creation of a certain institute. In this case the conception often has ideal character as idea of model of the relevant institute is embodied in it. Temporary gap in this case will be creation of such institute, the embodiment of the conception in life, implementation of the conception which at once loses after that the relevance, at least, in that look in what it existed before realization. Liquidation of institute, the termination of its existence which involves reproduction of the conception in new historical conditions becomes the termination of a temporary gap. The second - temporary gap in development of the conception as a result of the direct legal ban. In this case, the conception arises and develops until, yet will not happen, either prohibition of the conception, or institute with which this conception is directly connected. Reproduction of the conception, and, therefore, and the termination of a temporary gap, is caused by removal of such ban.

Abstract:

In the Netherlands there is an active community of Africanist scholars, numbering about 200 to 250. They work mainly in universities and other research institutes, but also in increasing numbers for government ministries (notably of Foreign Affairs and Development Co-operation), NGOs, and other aid organisations. Fields in which Africanists are strong are history, anthropology and geography, and to a lesser extent development sociology, medical science, law, comparative politics and religious studies. The following survey is necessarily a selective one.African Studies in the Netherlands can pride itself on a long history only if we include the many travellers, traders and missionaries active in African regions before the twentieth century. The scholarly study of the continent seriously started a few decades later than in other European countries: after the Second World War, when an Africa Institute was founded (in 1946, see below) and the first special professorial chair in African ethnology was instituted at Leiden University.

Abstract:

I first arrived at the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics, then simply the Institute of Development Economics, at the beginning of October 1960. It was located on the top floor of the Old Sindh Assembly Building on Bunder Road in Karachi. At the time the Joint Director, the resident head of the Institute, was Irving Brecher, a Canadian economist. The Director of the Institute was Emile Despres, the ex-officio head of Ford Foundation’s Pakistan Project administered from Williams College, later from Stanford University, who spent only a few weeks each year at the Institute. The Institute had a number of foreign research advisers funded by the Ford Foundation Project and a handful of Pakistani staff members, very few of them at senior levels. For me the Institute was a refuge. Since my graduation from the Dhaka University at the end of 1959 I had been teaching in the Department of Economics. I had also been selected for graduate studies in England starting the fall of 1960 under an award of the newly-instituted Commonwealth Scholarship programme. In July 1960 I was dismissed from my teaching position at the University due to alleged undesirable political antecedents during my student days. A few weeks later my scholarship for study abroad was also withdrawn by the Government of Pakistan whose approval was a prerequisite for the finalisation of the award. The prospect of alternative employment was bleak with little private sector demand for economics graduates at the time. I had been interviewed by Emile Despres and his colleagues who were on a recruitment mission the previous winter in Dhaka. The teaching appointment at the University, coming on the heels of the interview, had preempted a possible offer from them. A few weeks after I lost my scholarship, I received a telegram from the Institute offering me the position of a Research Officer (later named Staff Economist). This rescued me from what appeared to be virtual banishment from all possibility of a meaningful career. This was the beginning of the series of many kind acts by the Institute and its members which over time made me accustomed to treating it as a home even after my formal employment in it ended.

Abstract:

Although physical geography has a long tradition, its faster development started since the establishing of Geography Institute in 1893. At first geomorphology was developed, then climatology, mathematical geography and hydrology and much later biogeography and paleogeography. In the past period, the schedule of physically geographical subjects didn't change much but as for scientific development, physical geography is in constant ascent. Through basic and graduate studies, it trains young geography staff for scientific research, but also for practical work in various fields of social life.

Abstract:

An ecological study was carried out using information zones as units of analysis in order to assess the evolution of socio-spatial inequalities in mortality due to external causes and homicides in Salvador, Bahia State, Brazil, in 2000 and 2006. The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística - IBGE) and the City Health Department (Secretaria Municipal de Saúde) provided the data sources, and causes of death were reviewed and reclassified based on reports from the Institute of Legal Medicine (Instituto Médico Legal). The information zones were classified into four social strata according to income and schooling. The ratio between mortality rates (inequality ratio) was calculated and confirmed a rise of 98.5% in the homicide rate. In 2000, the risk of death due to external causes and murders in the stratum with the worst living conditions was respectively 1.40 and 1.94 times greater than in the reference stratum. In 2006 these figures were 2.02 and 2.24. The authors discuss the implications for inter-sectoral public policies, based on evidence from the study's findings.

Abstract:

Fifty years ago, in the autumn of 1968, experiments on interpretation of the first Soviet global space image made by ‘Zond-5’ automatic spacecraft and of American space images from Gemini III, IV, V piloted spacecrafts were carried out for the first time in the USSR. The aim of these experiments was the study of possibilities to use satellite images in geomorphology and geography. The first results demonstrated high value of space images for geomorphological research for the studies of morphostructures and morphosculptures of various genesis, the discovery of a 2500 km long lineament in Sahara; real time-related transitive borders of latitudinal landscape zones in Africa were indicated for the first time. It was suggested that satellite images could be applied for the studies of various geological structures, seismicity, volcanic activity, global and regional zones of jointing as well as for thematic mapping. Thanks to these studies a new Department of Satellite-related Geography was established at the Institute of Geography of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Later on, studies were carried out at the Institute’s Department of Satellite-related Geography in order to find application possibilities of TV multispectral scanned and photographic satellite images for thematic research and mapping. The first conclusions were confirmed in the course of further studies in the field of aerospace remote sensing in Russia and abroad; their results were summarized in two fundamental atlases published under the auspices of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IGRAS): “Resources and Environment World Atlas” (1998) and “World Atlas of Snow and Ice Resources” (1997). Up to date, methods of aerospace remote sensing continue to be applied successfully at IGRAS for geomorphological studies and for resolving of environmental problems in physical and human geography.

Abstract:

Access to external sources of technical knowledge is one of the keys to staying innovative for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The literature suggests that SMEs with a weak internal R&D capacity do not make much use of institutional sources like research institutes and universities. In this paper I investigate how trade associations can induce member SMEs to use a research institute. The case of a public research institute and SMEs in the textile industry in Kyoto, Japan is examined. Evidence from the case suggests that trade associations facilitate the use of the institute by expressing a collective ‘voice’ to the management of the institute. The effect is evident among active members in the use of services involving a large information gap as to their benefits. I also consider a shortcoming of the collective approach and suggest some measures to be taken on the part of research institutes.
