The New Geography Of Conflict, Michael T. Klare
The Geographical Bulletin
During the Cold War, strategic planning focused on diverging ideological views between the United States and the Soviet blocs located in central and southeastern Europe and Northeast Asia. In the last decade these regions lost much strategic significance for the U.S. whereas other regions (e.g., Caspian Sea basin, the Gulf states, South China Sea) are receiving increased attention from Washington and other industrialized countries. A renewed concern of global resources, especially oil and natural gas, has created a new international, national and local geography of conflict. China and Russia have made their presence felt in key energy producing areas through …

Fossils On The Prairie: Abandoned Farmsteads In Southwestern Minnesota, Christopher R. Laingen
The Geographical Bulletin
Between 1935 and 1992, the number of farms in the United States decreased from approximately seven million to fewer than two million. This change left a noticeable imprint on the landscape. Working farmsteads have been reduced to idle, desolate buildings, or in some cases there are no buildings left at all. To study this transformation, black and white air photographs from 1950 were compared with 1990 air photographs. Also, plat books and ground checks in four townships in Watonwan County in southwestern Minnesota helped document changes. Farmsteads were abandoned or demolished because people began to find they could not economically …

Projections And Perceptions-Editorial Comment: A Perspective On Military Geography, Eugene J. Palka
The Geographical Bulletin
During times of conflict military geography invariably surfaces as an important problem-solving subfield of geography. Since September 11, 2001, dozens of geographers employed by the Department of Defense have focused their attention on Central Asia in general and on Afghanistan in particular. Academic geographers have also been beckoned by the government, military, and media to apply their particular systematic or regional expertise to America's recent challenge. One cannot dispute the wartime relevance of the subfield, yet since the fall of the Berlin Wall, applications during peacetime and military operations other than war (MOOTW) have become more apparent (Palka and Galgano, …

Measuring Integrated Accessibility For Sustainable Mobility: A Fuzzy Set Approach Case Study, Behnam Tahmasbi, Poria Hajian, Farzaneh Tahmasbi, Qian He
School of Earth & Environment Departmental Research
Sustainable transportation is vital to climate justice and social equity. Despite the efforts to achieve sustainability, there is still a lack of adequate measurement that integrates land use and transportation systems, which can be barriers to planning implementation. With methodological improvements in fuzzy theory application, this study develops an integrated index to measure the sustainability of multimodal accessibility. We do so by defining a fuzziness degree based on the different trip purposes and modes of transportation with a case study in Isfahan, Iran. Sustainable accessibility indicators were developed for walking, biking, and public transportation to represent the performance of each …

Towards The Development Of A Gis Model For Planning And Administering Literacy Education Programs In Urban Areas, Jeffrey P. Richetto, William E. Couch
The Geographical Bulletin
As the world continues to change ever higher demands are placed on individuals, households, and businesses; thus, the definition and need to be literate also continue to shift. Today, adults require greater levels of basic skills commensurate to function effectively in an increasingly visual and technological environment. Within the United States fewer than ten percent of the estimated 44 million adults who could potentially benefit from literacy programs are currently being served. Additional funding, improved coordination among service providers, and greater availability of support services including childtare, transportation, and accessible class meeting sites are important planning issues. Therefore, it becomes …

Geographer At Work: John A. Rusatsky Zoning Enforcement Officer, Leon Yacker
The Geographical Bulletin
ROUTE TO THE JOB: When John Rusatsky graduated from Southern Connecticut State University in 1979 with a B.S. degree in Geography he knew what he wanted to do in the future. He had chosen the specialization in planning offered by the department after overhearing a casual conversation by two other students about geography. He was dissatisfied with the major he had at the time and so he approached a faculty member in the department for further information. Before changing his major, his grades were poor and he had no particular interest in the future. Like many students he " discovered" …

Potential Urban Hazard Zones Of Shanghai, Prc, C. Nicholas Raphael, Jinan Li
The Geographical Bulletin
Land-use data derived from large scale aerial images were used to determine potential hazard zones of Shanghai, People's Republic of China. Using a GIS, nine cultural and physical parameters in onekilometer2 pixels are identified, classified and mapped. A coefficient of urban hazard is calculated per square kilometer within the city. Of the 10 administrative municipalities, Jinan and Luwang, in the central city, are determined as having high urban disaster potential. Natural hazards such as storm surges and subsidence in the delta complex have been recognized and addressed. However, in view of increasing urbanization, urban hazard is yet to be adequately …

Measuring Greenness: A Study Of The Southwest Texas State University Recycling Program, Rebecca S. Beard
The Geographical Bulletin
Successful recycling programs at colleges and universities require active student, faculty, and staff participation. Such programs often have to be funded by additional student fees, but increasing tuition rates leave students divided on their level of support for the program. Nevertheless, such debate increases environmental awareness and students' concern about university policy. A sample of 120 students at Southwest Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas were asked 15 questions regarding recycling . The survey revealed that students would support an increase in the number of recycling bins on campus, though they are in need of instruction on how and where- …

Projections And Perceptions-Editorial Comment Geography Education: The Road Ahead, Daniel P. Donaldson
The Geographical Bulletin
More than a decade ago, Geography in America (Gaile and Willmontt, 1989) was released. Among the updates and discussions of geography's systematic subfields, was a chapter assessing the past, present, and future of geography education (Hill and LaPrairie, 1989). That work outlined the progression of geography's place of relative prominence in the early 1900s, to its virtual disappearance in American K-12 education. While the authors pointed to a plethora of challenges, they also noted that geography education was showing signs of new life. Indeed, geography has begun to show up in more and more school classrooms, and geographic literacy has …

Pathways Of Participation: Community Engagement And Collaborative Adaptation In Disaster Contexts Across Diverse Environments, Ria Mukerji
Geography ETDs
This paper broadens the concept of effective community participation in disaster risk reduction by analyzing three case studies that emphasize unconventional, locally driven approaches. Using a multi-case study method, I examine forms of participation that challenge traditional top-down models and focus on local knowledge and community agency. In Ohkay Owingeh, New Mexico, a co-designed environmental data dashboard with Pueblo members demonstrates how integrating Indigenous knowledge can enhance disaster preparedness. The Soldados Dam case in Ecuador shows how power imbalances drive community stakeholders to become protestors, emphasizing the need for adaptive engagement to prevent conflict. In Pajaro, California, a marginalized community’s …

Imagine Lagos : Mapping History, Place, And Politics In A Nineteenth-Century African City, Ademide Adelusi-Adeluyi
Ohio University Press Open Access Books
Written from a digital humanities perspective, this book combines historical sources, maps, and a walking cartography to create new perspectives on the nineteenth-century history of Lagos, West Africa’s most populous city.
What traces do people leave in the places where they live, and even where they die? This book addresses the spatial history of nineteenth-century Lagos, rebuilding its past as a series of encounters: between men and women, between past and present, between enslaved and free, between living and dead, and finally between land and lagoon. In Imagine Lagos, Ademide Adelusi-Adeluyi argues that the invention, destruction, and reinvention of spatial …
