Abstract:

The overall development of ESA’s Space Transportation Programme can be perceived in two major phases. The first phase finished with the transfer of the ARIANE 1-4 launch systems to Arianespace for utilisation and commercialization. The second phase was started after the success of the ARIANE launcher programme had created a sound basis for Europe’s space industry in the evolving commercial space transportation market. This has lead to the definition of a second phase of the launcher development program which is expected to fulfil the needs for transport into space for many years to come. The wide objectives of the program makes it not only suitable for commercial applications but can also be expected to cover the launching needs for future Space Astrophysics missions.Market studies of the future commercial space transportation needs show growing satellite masses and an increased worldwide competition. Europe therefore needs a powerful launcher with improved cost-effectiveness and improved reliability for geostationary missions. On the other hand the discussion about the optimum launcher, spacecraft size and orbits for Astronomy missions, as well as for Space Science missions in general, is still a matter under debate, as explained by Dyson elsewhere in these Proceedings. The experience obtained with IUE and EXOSAT-Observatory satellites which, due to their general user nature, do not have a rigidly preplanned observing program - seem to suggest that, at least for operational motives, high orbits appear preferable for such satellites. This is especially true as compared to the operational and planning difficulties foreseen with the recently launched Hubble Space Telescope, which is in low earth orbit (LEO). Of course, for firmly pre-scheduled observatories with a predetermined Science program, such as COBE and HIPPARCOS, this choice may not be obvious.

Abstract:

AbstractDuring a disaster, victims with varied morbidities are located at incident sites, while healthcare facilities with varied healthcare resources are distributed elsewhere. Transportation serves an essential equilibrating role: it helps balance the patients' need for care with the supply of care. Studying the special case of New York City, this article sets out the healthcare transportation components as: (1) incident morbidity; (2) transportation assets; and (3) healthcare capacity. The relationship between these three components raises an assignment problem: the management of healthcare transportation within a dynamic and partly unpredictable incident-transportation-healthcare nexus, under urban disruption. While the routine dispatch problem can be tackled through better geographic allocation software and technical algorithms, the disaster assignment problem must be confronted through real-time, mutual adjustment between institutions. This article outlines institutional alternatives for managing the assignment problem and calls for further research on the merits of alternative institutional models.

Abstract:

Toronto is widely perceived to have developed efficient solutions to transportation during periods of rapid population growth, attributed largely to significant investment in public transit and effective means of managing growth in an orderly manner. Relative to comparably sized cities elsewhere in North America, the downtown has flourished and urban sprawl appears to have been contained within reasonable limits. Yet, despite a high degree of centralized planning and policies that favor transit over road improvements, on a regionwide basis, both modal split and transit ridership have actually declined, road congestion has reached serious levels in outlying regions, and the central area is losing its dominance as the location of new employment creation. This experience suggests a need to rethink the advisability of continued preoccupation with rail-dominated (subway, light rail transit, and high-technology transit), centrally oriented, capital-intensive transit improvements at the expense of lower-cost (and lower political profile) operational enhancements of surface transit, more effective means of dealing with road congestion, and greater reliance on business principles in the provision of transit service. In particular, there is a need to rethink government policies that favor capital over operational improvements, cost-based subsidy formulae that reward high costs rather than performance, intergovernmental transfers that obfuscate real costs perceived at the local decision-making level, and evaluation procedures that rely on alleged social and environmental advantages wherever reasonable ridership estimates fail to justify the selection of a preconceived preferred technology in assessing the true viability of new projects.

Abstract:

Purpose. To describe adverse events occurring during intrahospital transportation of adult patients hospitalized in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and to evaluate the association with morbidity and mortality.Method. Prospective cohort study from July 2014 to July 2015. Data collection comprised clinical data, prognostic scores, length of stay, and outcome at hospital discharge. Data was collected on transport and adverse events. Adverse events were classified according to the World Health Organization following the degree of damage. The level of significance was set at 5%.Results. A total of 293 patients were analyzed with follow-up of 143 patient transportations and records of 86 adverse events. Of these events, 44.1% were related to physiological alterations, 23.5% due to equipment failure, 19.7% due to team failure, and 12.7% due to delays. Half of the events were classified as moderate. The mean time of hospital stay of the group with adverse events was higher compared to patients without adverse events (31.4 versus 16.6 days, resp.,p<0.001).Conclusions. Physiological alterations were the most frequently encountered events, followed by equipment and team failures. The degree of damage associated with adverse events was classified as moderate and associated with an increase in the length of hospital stay.

Abstract:

This paper explores means of achieving more efficient and sustainable river transport in remote regions by making relatively simple, practical modifications to boats or implementing new technologies for propulsion and energy generation. The research focuses on the case of the simple boats used to transport children to school in riverine communities of the Brazilian Amazon. A range of options to improve the efficiency of existing boats is described. Under normal operational conditions, small improvements to these boats may have long-term environmental and socioeconomic benefits. Implementing changes such as those suggested, it may also be possible to boost sources of employment in these regions and elsewhere, where industrial and technological limitations are significant.

Abstract:

Mercantile activities, privateering and fishing in the ports of Ostend, Bruges and Dunkirk during the 17th and 18th centuries were often in the hands of migrants. Irish entrepreneurs, no longer welcome in their occupied home country, searched for opportunities elsewhere in maritime trade and, during war-time, in privateering. In both enterprises they proved very successful and developed international mercantile networks. In the wake of this emerging business, sailors from both sides of the French-Austrian border settled in these ports or migrated between Ostend, Bruges and Dunkirk to wherever the economic climate seemed most promising. In this article we analyse these waves of migration which created distinctive communities in Ostend, Bruges and Dunkirk, connecting together the economic and social lives of these ports for more than two centuries.

Abstract:

Abstract The article presents an overview of Norwegian law with regard to damages caused by means of mass transportation by buses, railways and airplanes. The author explains why and how in Norway, as elsewhere in Scandinavia, there is strict liability for damages caused by means of mass transportation. Also the assessment of damages in the mentioned categories is discussed. For personal injuries there are no caps for trains or buses, partly because a greater part of the loss of income is covered by social security benefits, something which is typical of the ‘Nordic model’. Along the same lines, the rules on contributory negligence favour the victim somewhat more than in other parts of Europe, with regard to accidents caused by both buses and trains. Hence the law is all in all rather friendly to the victim. As for damage caused by air traffic, there are tensions between the ‘victim-friendly’ attitude and the relevant EU regulations which make the Montreal Convention applicable to Scandinavian law. These tensions are discussed towards the end of the article. Thus the article highlights and illustrates how the Scandinavian legal culture with the ‘Nordic Model’ as its special hallmark endorses solutions that somewhat contradict the common solutions in continental Europe and in the UK.

Abstract:

Civil rights and environmental justice laws and regulations aim to ensure fair processes and outcomes in regional transportation planning. Despite these requirements, people of color and low income tend to be disproportionately burdened while receiving few benefits. We argue that a key factor driving this disconnect is the nature of public involvement, in particular, a near-absence of meaningful public involvement through which affected residents can influence and shape decisions. We propose a new model for public involvement in transportation planning, based on a review of the literature and two policy and planning case studies. Our model identifies addressing the priority unmet needs of underserved communities as a fundamental touchstone of equity and argues for dedicating a stream of funding to meet those needs. Widespread application of this model, at the regional level and elsewhere, would likely result in improvements to both the general welfare and transportation equity conditions.

Abstract:

Abstract We conducted a phytosociological study of the communities hosting the rare and endangered fern Adiantum capillus-veneris in the foothills of the Julian Alps, in Karst and in Istria. Based on a comparison with similar communities elsewhere in the southern Alps (northern Italy) we classified most of the recorded stands into the syntaxa Eucladio-Adiantetum eucladietosum and -cratoneuretosum commutati. Releves from the southern Julian Alps, located in comparatively slightly colder and moister local climate and the dolomite bedrock are classified into the new subassociation -hymenostylietosum recurvirostri subass. nova. Stands with the abundant occurrence of the liverwort Conocephalum conicum, are classified in to the new subassociation -conocephaletosum conici subass. nova. Stands in conglomerate rock shelters along the Soča at Solkan are classified into the new association Phyteumato columnae-Adiantetum ass. nova, a community of transitional character between the classes Adiantetea capilli-veneris and Asplenietea trichomanis.

Abstract:

Expanding world economic prosperity and probable peaking of conventional petroleum production in the coming decades requires efforts to increase the efficiency of, and the development of alternatives to, petroleum-based fuels used in automotive transportation. North America has been aggressively pursuing both approaches for over ten years. Mainly as a result of lower prices due to global sourcing, magnesium has recently emerged as a serious candidate for lightweighting, and thus increasing the fuel efficiency of, automotive transportation. Automotive vehicles produced in North America currently use more Mg than vehicles produced elsewhere in the world, but the amounts per vehicle are very small in comparison to other materials such as steel, aluminum and plastics. The reasons, besides price, are primarily a less-developed state of technology for Mg in automotive transportation applications and lack of familiarity by the vehicle manufacturers with the material. This paper reviews some publicly-known, recent, present and future North American research and development activities in Mg for automotive applications.

Abstract:

Giovanni da Empoli, a Florentine agent and merchant, was among the first Europeans to travel by an exclusively maritime route to India. This article focuses on Giovanni’s first voyage to the East (1503–1504), during which he visited several ports along the Malabar coast. By examining Giovanni’s letter to his father, this contribution explores his (re)emerging identities, and in particular his mercantile outlook and his Christian faith, which suggest a diversity of value systems and agendas among ‘the Portuguese’. The experience of Giovanni is significant also because it represents an instance of production and transfer of knowledge about ‘the Indies’ in early Cinquecento Europe. As suggested by other contemporary sources concerning Giovanni, this circulation of knowledge did not take place only in writing, but also orally, in formal and informal conversations that Giovanni had with a variety of interested interlocutors both in Florence and elsewhere.

Abstract:

Transportation disadvantage may have important implications for the health, well-being, and quality of life of older adults. This study used the 2015 National Health Aging Trends Study, a nationally representative study of Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 and over ( N = 7,498), to generate national estimates of transportation modalities and transportation disadvantage among community-dwelling older adults in the United States. An estimated 10.8 million community-dwelling older adults in the United States rarely or never drive. Among nondrivers, 25% were classified as transportation disadvantaged, representing 2.3 million individuals. Individuals with more chronic medical conditions and those reliant on assistive devices were more likely to report having a transportation disadvantage ( p < .05). Being married resulted in a 50% decreased odds of having a transportation disadvantage ( p < .01). Some individuals may be at higher risk for transportation-related barriers to engaging in valued activities and accessing care, calling for tailored interventions such as ride-share services combined with care coordination strategies.

SummaryOur major classification systems (DSM and ICD) face three main problems: the high rates of ‘comorbidity’ that are produced by our present diagnostic rules, the increasing use of ‘not elsewhere classified’ (NEC) by practising clinicians, and the fact that each new edition is longer and more complex than the one preceding it. A major simplification of the chapter structure used by each classification might pave the way to address these problems.

Full text

Abstract:

The paper establishes an estimation model of urban transportation supply-demand ratio (TSDR) to quantitatively describe the conditions of an urban transport system and to support a theoretical basis for transport policy-making. This TSDR estimation model is supported by the system dynamic principle and the VENSIM (an application that simulates the real system). It was accomplished by long-term observation of eight cities’ transport conditions and by analyzing the estimated results of TSDR from fifteen sets of refined data. The estimated results indicate that an urban TSDR can be classified into four grades representing four transport conditions: “scarce supply,” “short supply,” “supply-demand balance,” and “excess supply.” These results imply that transport policies or measures can be quantified to facilitate the process of ordering and screening them.

Full text

Abstract:

A simplified modelling approach to urban commuting patterns is achieved by focusing on daytime populations rather than on commuters, or on the commuting process itself. Whereas past studies were usually economic in nature, and viewed commuting as a process within the continuum of urban space and time, the approach addressing daytime populations transforms the modelling attempt into a demographic deliberation of a binary situation where switching of values between daytime and night-time indicators in each subarea throughout a metropolis is considered. The present study shows that such a focus on diurnal change as a binary concept offers a new paradigm in conceptualizing metropolitan commuting and transportation. Under certain assumptions, rooted in recent observations of metropolitan areas elsewhere, this study conjectures an analytic function for the estimation of daytime populations in small areas throughout the metropolitan region of Brno, Czech Republic. The conjectured relationship is a logistic function that utilizes as its independent variable the average household size in each of the subareas throughout the metropolitan region. Based on the data from the Czech census of 2001, the distributions of average household size and of residential populations throughout the metropolitan region are applied in a case study illustrating the utility of the proposed approach for the estimation of daytime populations throughout the region. The iterative procedure advanced here offers considerable potential for further applications elsewhere.

Full text

Abstract:

Through direct democracy, the voting public can engage in ballot box planning, by which voters themselves, rather than decision makers, set policy and make project decisions. Previous studies found that ballot box planning has a growing influence on land use policy as well as transportation and land use finance. However, the impact of ballot box planning on transportation policy is relatively unexplored. This paper examines 148 local transportation policy–related ballot measures in California from 1995 to 2015. Most transportation policy measures passed, but measures that could be classified as proalternative or anti-car passed at a slightly higher rate than did procar or antialternative measures and showed some agreement between voters and transportation professionals toward multimodalism. Nonetheless, there are numerous examples of voters constraining the options of transportation planners by restricting or even prohibiting contemporary planning strategies. For example, several successful ballot measures took aim at priced parking, red light cameras, and roundabouts. Ballot measures also can create uncertainty through a ballot box volleyball effect, by which policies and project decisions vacillate between two extremes depending on the results of several ballot measures on the same topic. For such reasons, it has been argued that ballot box planning is a deliberative failure in planning and counteracts the best-laid plans of elected officials and planning practitioners.

In air freight industry, blood samples are classified as time and temperature sensitive biologically produced pharmaceuticals. To determine the level of influence that the handling processes and air transportation have on blood sample quality, a research has been conducted through transportation of whole blood samples on two European scheduled routes. Two shipping models were defined: the standard one without defined transportation temperature regime and the controlled one, where transportation is conducted under appropriate temperature regime. The blood samples were packed and transported respecting all relevant national and international regulations. The analysis was conducted and the results compared to control sample kept in the laboratory. Significant changes were identified on all components analyzed after crosschecking with the control sample. KEY WORDS: regulatory issues, blood sample quality, shipping model, packaging instruction, temperature profiles

Abstract:

The introduction of double stack rail services opened up a variety of transportation options for shippers located in the North Eastern parts of the U.S. The availability of transcontinental double stack service from the Canadian West Coast has increased this option even further particularly because of a recent new service introduced by a small U.S. railroad company. The paper uses Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology to provide a decision-making framework for the intermodal choices of shippers located in the region suitable for duplication elsewhere where similar options exist.

Abstract:

Many technologies require load-sustaining components that are as lightweight and compact as possible. This requirement is especially true in the transportation area, where lightness equates with fuel efficiency and range. Concept implementation is dictated by the tradeoff between performance and manufacturing cost, which is manifest in a value factor. The attainment of the minimum weight has a long history. Four technical factors are involved: materials selection, utilization of shape, topology optimization, and multifunctionality. The new developments to be addressed in this article arise in topology optimization. Multifunctionality has been elaborated elsewhere.

Abstract:

A Rail-Conveyor can be used as one of solutions for transportation of coal production. This system was rated to have either a competitive capital investment, and operational & maintenance cost, when compared with conventional transportation system.This paper studies a stability analysis of the wagon of the Rail-Conveyor in order to prevent derailment in longitudinal and lateral directions. The main aims of this study are to determine the maximum acceleration, deceleration, operational velocity for all possible conditions such as incline slope, decline slope, and turning with a specific radius. Case study was conducted for the wagon diameter of 0.76 m. The loading conditions were classified into two cases: empty wagon and fully-loaded wagon. It was assumed that the maximum allowable slope was 20%. The result of this analysis will be used as a basic design for rail-conveyor operation, route selection, and power station location & its capacity.

Abstract:

Airlines must operate many jobs in airports, such as passenger check-in or runway tasks. In airlines’ hubs, airlines generally choose to perform these jobs with their own agents. Shift planning aims at building the sequences of jobs operated by the airline agents and has been widely studied given its impact on operating costs. The impact of delayed flights is generally not taken into account despite the propagation of flight delays along these sequences: If a flight is late, then the agents doing the corresponding jobs are delayed, and may arrive late to their next jobs and delay the corresponding flights. Since delay costs are much higher than the costs of outsourcing jobs, if the agent who is supposed to operate a job is still working elsewhere when the job begins, then airlines tend to outsource the job to their own dedicated team or to a third party. We introduce a stochastic version of the shift-planning problem that takes into account outsourcing costs due to delay. It can be seen as a natural stochastic generalization of the vehicle-scheduling problem in which delayed jobs are outsourced. We propose a column-generation approach to solve it, whose key element is the pricing subproblem algorithm, modeled as a stochastic resource-constrained shortest-path problem. Numerical results on Air France industrial instances show the benefits of using our stochastic version of the shift-planning problem and the efficiency of the solution method. Moving to the stochastic version enables Air France to reduce total operating costs by 3.5%–4.8% on instances with more than 200 jobs, and our algorithm can solve to near optimality instances with up to 400 jobs.

Abstract:

The output of municipal solid waste is growing rapidly, which has brought tremendous pressure to urban development. The supply chain of municipal solid waste (MSW) in China mainly contains three processes: collection, transportation, and disposal. The waste is sorted at the collection and disposed of according to the classification. However, it is mixed at the transportation stage. Mixed transportation remixes the separately collected waste, which seriously affects the disposal effect. The supply chain of MSW urgently needs to be redesigned to improve the MSW disposal effect. First of all, on the ground of the waste treatment situation, we redesigned the supply chain of MSW in China. Secondly, combined with the redesign of the MSW supply chain, this paper established the function allocation model for collection stations, making a collection station only gather one type of waste, and built the transportation path planning model for vehicles, reducing the impact of waste storage on residents. Finally, based on the data of Xuanwu District in Beijing, the supply chain redesigning practical example of incinerable waste was given. The supply chain redesigning model in this paper not only makes full use of the existing infrastructure but also improves the disposal effect of waste. The supply chain redesigning model has practical application value.

Abstract:

Smart mobility and transportation, in general, are significant elements of smart cities, which account for more than 25% of the total energy consumption related to smart cities. Smart transportation has seven essential sections: leisure, private, public, business, freight, product distribution, and special transport. From the management point of view, transportation can be classified as passive or non-cooperating, semi-active or simple cooperating, active or cooperating, contract-based, and priority transportation. This approach can be applied to public transport and even to passengers of public transport. The transportation system can be widely observed, analyzed, and managed using an extensive distribution network of sensors and actuators integrated into an Internet of Things (IoT) system. The paper briefly discusses the benefits that the IoT can offer for smart city transportation management. It deals with the use of a hierarchical approach to total transportation management, namely, defines the concept, methodology, and required sub-model developments, which describes the total system optimization problems; gives the possible system and methodology of the total transportation management; and demonstrates the required sub-model developments by examples of car-following models, formation motion, obstacle avoidances, and the total management system implementation. It also introduces a preliminary evaluation of the proposed concept relative to the existing systems.

Abstract:

A layered architecture for freight transportation demand modeling entails the construction of a statewide freight transportation demand model by separately simulating traffic for one commodity at a time. Layers can then be added together to construct a comprehensive model that includes the most significant freight flows. Most state or regional economies are dominated by a few economic sectors, and models can be constructed for those sectors that generate the most freight traffic and/or are the most important to the regional economy. Freight traffic demand modeling in intercity applications is more likely to focus on economic development, local infrastructure improvements, maintenance, and similar policy and planning concerns than on system capacity issues. Thus, it is more important to understand changes in traffic growth by economic sector than as the composite of all freight traffic. This method is less data intensive and more easily understood by transportation professionals than previous approaches. The layered approach is therefore more likely to achieve the desired objectives than would general models, which attempt to forecast heterogeneous freight transportation demands simultaneously. This approach is demonstrated through a case study using the meat products and farm machinery industries in Iowa. Other commodities will be added in the future to complete a model of Iowa’s statewide freight transportation demand. A framework is presented for organizing and identifying planning goals, key issues, and predominant commodities for intercity freight transportation. Although examples are provided, specific recommendations addressing the full range of issues, data collection activities, tools, and urban applications are suggested for further study. A case study demonstrates the approach used for one issue, one mode, and two commodities, which could be repeated elsewhere for similar applications.

Abstract:

Abstract Integrating the most appropriate special transportation service for people with movement disorders model may result in great economy efficiency and social benefit balance. However, most existing researches are based on improving the accessibility of public transport services or development of routing and scheduling under stochastic input data. The aim of this paper is to project the evaluation algorithm for the purpose of assessing the appropriate model of integration which would enable the employment of existing resources and filling the gap in assurance the mobility needs of people with mobility impairments. This paper identifies the evaluation indicators which are selected from international publications. Firstly the performance indicators of special transportation services were selected, further the sustainable development of public transport services evaluation indicators were selected, classified and adjusted to the goal of this paper. As a final result of indicators selection, a set of indicators classified into two groups - cost and benefit - was carried out. The decision making is based on Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process and Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution methods. A case study is provided to demonstrate the application of proposed evaluation algorithm.

Abstract:

The development of a system for using Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS) data to estimate regional or local travel behavior—vehicle and person trips and miles of travel—is detailed. This system can be used by state or municipal transportation planners. The census tracts were classified into groups, or clusters, that tend to be homogeneous for individual travel behavior. These census tract clusters were based on household income, employment rate, number of household vehicles, and area type (urban, suburban, or rural). NPTS data were used to estimate driving characteristics for each of the clusters derived in the classification step. How well the goal of estimating regional or local travel characteristics was achieved by using standards computed from an independent survey from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and by using independent data from three add-on components of the NPTS itself was assessed. Estimates computed from the NPTS data by using the census tract cluster method were compared with estimates computed from the standards and with estimates computed from the NPTS data by using competing methods in which households were classified by size of the metropolitan statistical area, census division, or census region. It was found that in most cases the census tract clustering method predicted travel better than the other methods, with small sample sizes generally being the cause when the census tract method was not the best.

Abstract:

Transportation matrices are $m\times n$ nonnegative matrices with given row sum vector $R$ and column sum vector $S$. All such matrices form the convex polytope $\mathcal{U}(R,S)$ which is called a transportation polytope and its extreme points have been classified. In this article, we consider a new class of convex polytopes $\Delta(\bar{R},\bar{S},\sigma)$ consisting of certain transportation polytopes satisfying that the sum of all elements is $\sigma$, and the row and column sum vectors are dominated componentwise by the given positive vectors $\bar{R}$ and $\bar{S}$, respectively. We characterize the extreme points of $\Delta(\bar{R},\bar{S},\sigma)$. Moreover, we give the minimal term rank and maximal permanent of $\Delta(\bar{R},\bar{S},\sigma)$.

Abstract:

Andrew Smith Hallidie (1836–1900) played a central role in the development of the suspension bridge, not only in California but across the United States. While Hallidie did not invent the suspension bridge, he made improvements in the manufacture of iron and steel cables for such bridges. He also built at least eight substantial bridges, all in remote regions of California and elsewhere in the late 1850s and early 1860s. He made a meaningful contribution to the transportation history of the Mother Lode, building bridges that were able to withstand the ferocious floods that decimated the region during the early 1860s.

Abstract:

Air transportation is currently one of the alternative choice in travel by general public. To choose air transportation in accordance with the choice, the buyer can see a review of air transportation. Reviews obtained of text information from varios sources. Sometimes reviews about air transportation make it difficult for buyers to draw conclusions about air transportation information, so we need a method to determine the accuracy of an information. In this study air transportation review uses data of 100 reviews which are used as a dataset and then classified into 50 positive reviews and 50 negative reviews. The dataset will be tested with preprocessing steps and methods. The purpose of this research is the application of Particle Swarm Optimization to Support Vector Machine can increase the value of accuracy. This test resulted in an accuracy rate of 61,03% with AUC 0,953 with Support Vector Machine algorithm, while an accuracy of 71,00% with AUC 0,976 with the Support Vector Machine algorithm optimized with Particle Swarm Optimization. From the test results above, it can be concluded that the research using Support vector Machine algorithm which is optimized with Particle Swarm Optimization has an accuracy level of 9.97%.

This article offers an approach through administrative and cultural history to the problems associated with gathering and processing data for the Spanish national census of 1920, and by implication for earlier Spanish censuses. It focuses on the Basque province of Guipúzcoa, making use of correspondence between the central statistical office in Madrid, the provincial jefe de estadística and the localities, and of reports on three problematic towns within the province. The issues that emerge regarding ‘undercounting’, the definition of administrative boundaries and the classification of demographic characteristics are set in the wider context of census-taking practices and problems elsewhere in Spain and in other cultures.
