移动信息技术影响下的城市空间结构研究进展

手机用户、手机网民规模的不断增大意味着移动信息技术的出现和应用带来了信息革命的第二阶段。移动信息技术开始赋予了空间以新的内涵,其影响下的空间结构成为地理学研究的主要内容之一。本文重点梳理西方学者近些年来关于移动信息技术及其影响下的城市研究范式、研究内容变化的最新成果,以期了解最近的学术动态,并为国内相关研究提供一定借鉴。     

互联网信息对健身俱乐部连锁店空间竞争的指示研究

以北京浩沙健身连锁俱乐部为例,尝试利用公众在大众点评网、新浪微博等网络社区中发布的关注度、评价等作为加权因子,分析连锁网点之间的竞争状态,建立了一个基于互联网信息的加权因子计算模型,计算各连锁店的市场竞争域,结果显示互联网空间信息能够对连锁店之间的空间竞争产生指示作用,各分店表现出明显的竞争力差异;提出对加权Voronoi图区位意义上的地理学新解释:它不仅反映连锁店基本市场域,而且其边线弯曲度和单元面积的变化还可折射各连锁店在互联网空间中的吸引力差异。     

变动中的家与地方:一个关联性的研究综述

家与地方的关系是地方性研究中的关键性命题。人本主义地理学认为地方根植是家的根本属性,批判地理学则从社会建构的角度阐释家与地方的动态关联。在全球化和灾害影响下,家与地方的联结方式不断变动,呈现出异常丰富的多样性。本文从理论脉络入手,对全球化进程中因绅士化引起的家的置换,无家可归与家在他乡,以及离散者的漂移之家等现象进行了分析;并从灾民自我调适行为和灾后重建计划的实施方面,讨论了灾害影响下家的重构与认同问题。相关学科和国际研究在这一领域的快速发展,将为国内社会文化地理学对家的探索创造良好的机遇。     

馆藏壁画的历史信息与现状调查

馆藏壁画是博物馆藏品中一类特殊的文物。在馆藏大召寺壁画、陕西唐墓壁画等现状调查研究的基础上,本文分析馆藏壁画区别于原址壁画的特殊性,并提出针对馆藏壁画特点进行历史信息与现状调查的内容框架。强调壁画揭取历史、修复史、搬运史和保存环境等历史信息的调查对于认知壁画的重要性：壁画的现状调查包括本体调查和病害调查两部分,能够帮助保护工作者以科学的视角综合评价壁画保存现状。本文分别论述调查各个方面的意义、具体内容和方法。调查结果无疑对于制定保护修复方案具有重要意义,为合理实施保护修复提供科学依据,并为后续研究和档案记录提供基础信息。

档案信息资源开发利用之管见

推进档案信息资源的开发利用,对经济发展和社会建设具有重要的促进作用。只有从加强档案基础工作和协调管理入手,发挥档案人员的聪明才智,充分借助和运用现代高科技手段,才能使档案信息资源在新的历史时期发挥其应有作用。     

信息全球化下的博物馆传播研究

博物馆既具备传播媒介的基本条件,与其他传播媒介相比,又更具可感知性和文化承载性等独特的优势。在信息时代的新环境下,博物馆作为收藏、展示、研究文化遗产的特殊媒介,需要树立博物馆的媒介威望,采用新的展示、讲解手段,以宣传片、网站等方式扩大博物馆的品牌影响,以此来更好地满足社会大众的需求。     

Blogging geographies

This paper responds to the call for research on the use of new information technologies in higher education contexts. This was done through a case study on the use of blogs in an advanced seminar class. The paper argues that the use of blogs provided a way of gauging how students were coming to terms with the course material and how they were engaging with the course texts. Intertextuality was used as a method of understanding how students engaged with the course. The analysis was based on blog postings, student comments, course evaluations and the instructor's reflective journal.     

A Preliminary Investigation into the Challenges of Learning GIS in Interdisciplinary Research

A geographic information system (GIS) can be a valuable research tool, helping scientists understand location and bridge the gaps between subjects in interdisciplinary research (IDR), which has been promoted for its real-world solutions. However, a GIS can be difficult to use and may require understanding of a number of concepts as well as tools and technology. This complexity is compounded by additional challenges commonly encountered in IDR. This paper examines some of the challenges facing learners of GIS in IDR projects, with a particular focus on the appropriateness of current teaching methods in this context.     

Doing Independent Overseas Fieldwork 1: Practicalities and pitfalls

This article explores issues of scalability and sustainability in distance learning. The authors kept detailed records of time they spent teaching a course in geographic information science via the World Wide Web over a six-month period, during which class sizes averaged 49 students. The authors also surveyed students' satisfaction with the distance learning course through ratings and open-ended questions. Findings are compared with similar data collected a year earlier, when class sizes associated with the same distance learning course averaged 18 students. In response to the increase in average class size by a factor of 2.7, the authors' course-related workloads increased by a factor of about 2.5 (from 47.5 hours to 116.7 hours total). Analyses of student feedback suggest that student satisfaction with the course was high overall and suffered no significant decline as a result of increased instructional efficiency.
