Regional Variations Among Ethnic Groups In Ontario A Core-Periphery Model, Robert George Sharpe
Regional Variations Among Ethnic Groups In Ontario A Core-Periphery Model, Robert George Sharpe
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This thesis performs a spatial analysis of Ontario’s structure of ethnic stratification. It examines several spatial manifestations of the contrasts in socio-economic well-being—income, education, and occupation—between Ontario’s British majority and seven ethnic minority categories. The major data source for this analysis includes published Canadian Census data and special tabulations of the 1971 Census. Regional patterns of spatial distribution shown by the various ethnic categories are described and compared using location quotients and the centrographic statistical technique. Applying a core-periphery model of regional structure and development, a tendency was found for ethnic categories of subordinate socio-economic status to be disproportionately concentrated …
Arson In Toronto: A Geographical Perspective (Ontario), James Richards
Arson In Toronto: A Geographical Perspective (Ontario), James Richards
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This thesis is an empirical study of the crime of arson in Toronto from a geographical perspective. Although empirical in nature there is a framework of analysis that hopefully provides a starting point for theoretical development. The study is loosely organized around the framework of four areas of arson research which include: antecedent environmental conditions, organismic variables, actual firesetting behavior, and the consequences of firesetting. To each one of these areas of research geographical analysis is possible. In most cases it was necessary in this study to incorporate the findings from the psychological and sociological literature into the geographical analysis. …

The Custom Profile Extrusion Industry In Southern Ontario An Economic And Geographic Examination Of A Growth-Pole, Melvyn William Beetham
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
The Custom Profile Extrusion Industry, which is one segment of the total Plastics Industry, has developed within Southern Ontario during the last two decades. The behaviour of the firms which make up the Profile Industry has not been scrutinized, collectively, to determine whether or not they qualified as a growth pole within the context of Perroux’s theory. Through the use of a heuristic approach this industry has been studied and evaluated. The findings from the data collected from these firms has been examined to ascertain the relevancy of this industry within a growth pole concept.
The Technical, Legal And Political Implications Of Remote Sensing Satellites, Matthew Mahoney
The Technical, Legal And Political Implications Of Remote Sensing Satellites, Matthew Mahoney
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This thesis examines the phenomenon of reconnaissance satellites and their role in the present arms race. While volumes of material have been written on the arms race in general, or the weapons race in particular, very little has been written on the role of satellites in this conflict and almost nothing has been written on the role of reconnaissance satellites. There is a need for much greater debate on the role of reconnaissance satellites in outer space. Reconnaissance satellites have, in part, rewritten the meaning of the arms race and they have contributed significantly to arms reductions talks between the …
