摘要:

ABSTRACTLarge parts of urban Britain have been adversely affected by global economic restructuring, deindustrialisation and ineffective urban policies. In older industrial areas such as Clydeside the outcome of uneven development is manifested in the poverty and deprivation of disadvantaged residents. This article presents a descriptive analysis of the nature, incidence and intensity of multiple deprivation within the Clydeside conurbation, one of the most socially and economically depressed regions of the United Kingdom. The article first outlines the growth of research into urban deprivation and describes the anatomy of multiple deprivation. The causes of deprivation and value of an area‐based approach are then considered. Following discussion of several key methodological issues, a multivariate empirical analysis is employed using a range of 1991 census indicators to reveal the contemporary geography of multiple deprivation in Clydeside. Finally, these empirical findings inform a number of policy‐relevant conclusions relating to the regional incidence of deprivat

ABSTRACTThe authors investigate the spatial evolution of automobile production in Spain in the post‐war period, in relation to a typology of changing regional specialization. The article describes how successiverounds of investmentshave transformed the traditional pattern of specialization into a configuration determined by the production and network strategies of foreign investors. The spatial outcome of this process may be attributed, to some extent, to specific locational strategies pursued by the foreign investors; there is also a high incidence, however, ofde factospatial changes, resulting from foreign acquisitions of local firms. As a result, internationalization has made the local production structure more aligned with, but also highly dependent on, the economic core areas of Europ

摘要:

ABSTRACTTheoretical and empirical attention to competition between European cities must lay emphasis on the growth of business services. Does it arise from externalisation of work from industry, or from sales to the rest of the service sector locally, nationally or internationally? In a policy survey of 39 ‘business service’ firms for the Scottish City of Edinburgh it was found, despite the prominence of its financial institutions and a few outstanding examples of international sales, that 80% of activity was undertaken for the Scottish market, 24% for private households and only about 10% for the manufacturing sector. It should be policy to maximise export activity of the sector, with the help of continued development of education and training in the City of Edinbu

摘要:

ABSTRACTCultural geography draws attention to the position of ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’ groups in society, each with their own ‘ways of seeing’. This article focuses on a significant outsider group, who have seldom been acknowledged in contemporary geographical studies, older children. Despite a burgeoning body of research which highlights the singular environmental needs of older children, most large‐scale environments are designed to reflect only adult values and usages. The visions of environmental planners and landscape architects implicitly reflect the dominant perceptions of a society, such that groups already on the edge become further marginalised by policy making. Older children are seemingly invisible on the landscape. At best they are provided with some kind of token space, commonly a playground, but otherwise they are required to fit into the alien environments of the adult world. This article evaluates the outcomes of conventional environmental planning, reports on a survey of 9–11 year old children's ways of seeing' familiar outdoor places and argues for an action plan which recognises children as full and active mem

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe results of interdisciplinary research in which data and techniques of accounting are combined with theories in the field of economic geography are presented. The investigation tests the validity of some theories of economic geography on the basis of financial statement data. Up till now these theories have only been tested empirically with the use of macro‐economic data, such as employment figures. In this project, the performances of small and medium‐sized companies are analysed in the functional urban regions of Antwerp, Brussels and Mechelen. The most important conclusion is that the ‘average’ companies in the centre of the ‘research area’ show weaker financial performances than those in the periphery. If focused solely on trade companies the same pattern emerges. For industrial companies however, ‘the reversal of the centre‐periphery relations
