The accessibility of hospital facilities is great importance not only for maintaining social stability, but also protecting the basic human right to health care. Traditional research often lacks consideration dynamic changes in transport costs and does reflect actual travel time urban residents, which critical time-sensitive services. To avoid these defects, this study considered city Kaifeng, China, as an empirical case, directly acquired data two modes different periods through web mapping...
Cotton quality is as crucial cotton quantity. Despite considerable efforts to enhance yield, there has been limited focus on maximizing fiber quality. The temperature experienced from flowering boll opening becomes the critical factor affecting when cultivated under optimum water and nutrient conditions. This depends planting date for a specific location cultivar. Therefore, can be improved by optimizing geographic study aims develop methodology dates maximize quality, taking into account...
How are Black farmers experiencing agriculture today? The shadow of an egregious history for over the last century has sought to submerge into story behind experiences today. Yet, contemporary reshaping narrative beyond their demise, revitalizing significance and what they bring rural areas such as Yazoo-Mississippi Delta region. This article takes a qualitative exploratory approach examine how small-scale in region experience through strategies self-reliance autonomy. We draw on theory...
Abstract In this study, we used image‐processing techniques to examine the spatial pattern of land‐use and land‐cover (LULC) change that occurred in coffee growing area Western Ghats India during international crisis 1990s. The study also ascertains driving forces these changes using qualitative research methods include archival studies interviews knowledgeable individuals. We analyzed Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) for 1991 ETM+ 2002 quantify LULC. Historical different land ownership regimes...
Urbanization has substantially altered the earth’s surface, and cities’ impervious surfaces for anthropogenic activities often generate an urban heat island (UHI). This paper analyses effects of UHI in Bangalore, which recent years witnessed tremendous in-migration people expansion infrastructure due to rapid growth its information technology, biotechnology manufacturing sectors. Temperature values extracted from Landsat satellite’s Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) thermal bands a...
Los mapas del Sur y Dixie en los 70s 80s de John Shelton Reed indicaron una reducción límites esas dos regiones autóctonas. Este análisis estudia al Dixie. Usando directorios telefónicos electrónicos, este estudio recopila nombres negocios con "Southern" "Dixie" todas las ciudades Estados Unidos. Un univariable LISA (Indicador Local Asociación Espacial) fue usado para identificar conglomerados valores altos bajos normalizados términos. ayudó a hoy Land el Sur. resultados indican que la...
The South has recently become a major economic hub and population magnet in the United States. This study examines if Black Belt, historically declining region within South, experienced similar renaissance. also how local factors differentially influence migrants from Belt outside South. identifies primary hot spots for non-Black migrants. data come yearly internal migration files 1996 to 2007 compiled by Internal Revenue Service U.S. Census Bureau. show that both rest of net in-flow other...
In August 2016, Louisiana parishes witnessed record rainfall levels, resulting in catastrophic flooding the Amite and Comite Rivers. this study, we analyze spatial patterns of social vulnerability index (SVI) each flood zone within East Baton Rouge, Ascension, Livingston. We use geographically weighted regression (GWR) models to relation among distribution SVI, zones, impervious surfaces. found that population SVI varies significantly disaster affected area. also an increase...
Motivated by substantial public health implications of food insecurity, this study systematically reexamined its determinants beyond household disadvantages. Utilizing data from the Panel Study Income Dynamics and American Community Survey, hierarchical linear modeling was employed. The findings underscored notable between-neighborhood variations in insecurity after adjusting for household-specific characteristics, revealing residing high-poverty or nonmetropolitan areas heightened risk....
Abstract This paper examines the global coffee crisis that began in late 1980s and its impact on local livelihoods for smallholding farmers India. The is characterized by low farm-gate prices caused oversupply, an unregulated open market, growing corporate concentration. Smallholding India suffered severely during recent as they experienced lower yields, prices, weak market institutions. of considered terms structural changes rural institutions measures have used to cope with volatility.
Meltwater from glaciers makes significant contributions to general streamflow and provides water for flora fauna. Continuous glacier monitoring programs enhance our understanding of the impacts global warming on their topographical features. The objective this study is measure spatial temporal changes in Canada’s Columbia Icefield glaciers. This uses Landsat (TM 5 OLI) images delineate extents between 1985 2018. also analyzes retreat Athabasca, Castleguard, Columbia, Dome, Saskatchewan,...
