Book Synopsis Time Geography in the Global Context by : Kajsa Ellegård
Download or read book Time Geography in the Global Context written by Kajsa Ellegård. This book was released on 2018-09-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time-geography is a mode of thinking that helps us understand change processes in society, the wider context and the ecological consequences of human actions. This book brings together international time-geographic research from a range of disciplines. Swedish geographer Torsten Hägerstrand is a key foundation for this book, and an introductory biography charts the influences that led to the formation of his theories. A central theme across time-geography research is recognizing time and space as unity. Contributions from the Netherlands, the USA, Japan, China, Norway and Sweden showcase the diverse palette of time-geography research. Chapters study societies adjusting to rapid urbanization, or investigate the need for structural changes in childcare organization. The book also delves into green transportation and the interplay between humans and nature in landscape transformation. Applicational chapters look at ICT effects on young people’s daily life and methods for engaging clients in treatment practice. This book situates the outlook for this developing branch of research and the application of time-geography to societal and academic contexts. Its interdisciplinary nature will appeal to postgraduates and researchers who are interested in human geography, urban and regional planning and sociology.

Book Synopsis Deciphering Activity Patterns Using Time-geography Framework by : Leonard Sitji Bombom
Download or read book Deciphering Activity Patterns Using Time-geography Framework written by Leonard Sitji Bombom. This book was released on 2013. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Human societies are organized around activities. Every individual participates in certain activities at all times, which are organized in both time and space. Therefore to understand how human societies are organized, it is important to understand how human activities are organized. Traditionally, methods of activity analysis have employed transportation planning, structural equation, simulation and other computational models. Most of these models use trips and trip making as the bases for activity analysis. Current practice however recognizes activities as the focus of activity analysis since trips are derived from the demand of people to participate in activities. This and other shortcomings of the traditional models have resulted in the search for new perspectives and tools to analyze activity patterns. Hagerstrand's time-geography presents an elegant framework to study and understand activity patterns through several important and clearly defined concepts such as stations, space-time paths, space-time prisms, and activity constraints. One of the most important attribute of this framework is its capacity to capture and represent the sequence of human activities in simple but effective ways. The space-time path is a three-dimensional (3D) trajectory that represents the locations of human activities in a two-dimensional (2D) plane and captures the time and sequence of activity participation through the third dimension - time. Activity constraints also provide an understanding of the necessary conditions needed for human activity to take place. Unfortunately, only a few studies have developed methods of activity analysis using this framework. This study adopts the time-geography framework and concepts to develop two new methods to decipher activity patterns. The daily activity schedule fragmentation index (DASFI) examines the propensity of individuals to organize their activities in chains or fragments. The daily activity intensity similarity index (DAISI) measures the degree of similarity between the activity profiles of people. Both indices can be used in cluster analysis to derive clusters which group individuals with similar characteristics in their activity patterns. A case study with the population at Oklahoma State University - Stillwater Campus proves useful in understanding how people organize their activities and could help in planning geographical space to meet the activity needs of people.
