摘要:

Dans le cadre d'un projet de recherche en cours portant sur l'évaluation de la vulnérabilité municipale aux catastrophes naturelles (Boivin 1990), un examen des dommages du séisme du 25 novembre 1988 a été mené afin de mieux documenter l'analyse du risque séismique au Québec. À partir de sources variées de rapports de dommages mais, plus spécifiquement, par l'étude des demandes liées au programme de dédommagement mis sur pied par le gouvernement du Québec, une analyse et une cartographie des dommages rapportés est fournie. Les résultats montrent que la majorité des dommages sont concentrés près de l'épicentre dans les régions du Saguenay/Lac Saint‐Jean et de Québec. Les dégats répertoriés concernent principalement les ouvertures (portes et (enê tres) avec 11%, les murs intérieurs ou extérieurs (29%), l'apparition de fissures (72%), les fondations (44%) et les cheminées (29%). Au total, 1521 cas de dommages ont été rapportés et a

摘要:

This paper discusses broad population movements within and between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan regions in Canada during the recent past. It is based on an annual series of aggregate migration at the metropolitan level. Three complementary approaches are used in order to distill information from this vast array of interregional flows. The first is based on net migration. The second, disequilibrium analysis, is based on the difference between the observed population shares of regions and a set of calculated steady‐state population shares which would result if the currently observed set of interregional migration rates remained constant. Both approaches indicate short‐term effects of migration on the evolving pattern of regional growth and decline. The third approach, based on aggregate interregional flows, allows one to observe some changes in migration behaviour which are not made evident by the first two approac

摘要:

From their European origin, mountain or alpine huts have spread to many of the world's mountain areas. This paper traces their development in Canada's Rocky, Selkirk, and Purcell Mountains where, in less than 100 years, they have diffused from a core area to most of its major climbing areas and are now located at ‘big mountains' as well as in easily accessible valleys below tree line. Reflecting changes in the society at large and the climbing community in particular, they have evolved into homogeneous, unartistic, and environmentally alien, but practical, functional, and cost‐effective structures. Considerations for their siting, architectural aspects of their design, governmental and Alpine Club of Canada policies regarding huts, as well as arguments for and against building them are discussed. Options for their role in the overall future development of Canada's ever‐shrinking and environmentally sensitive undeveloped mountain areas are sup

摘要:

Spatial compactness has been proposed as a suitable criterion for assessing whether electoral boundaries reflect partisan interests. Although several different measures of spatial compactness have been developed, only limited efforts have been made to compare and evaluate them in the context of electoral redistricting. This paper assesses alternative spatial compactness measures and applies conceptually appealing measures to the provincial ridings proposed by British Columbia's Royal Commission on Electoral Boundaries (1988).
