    Open AccessVicent Ortells Chabrera, Robert B Kent et al.ARTICLENames2009Referencias: 2

    This paper examines the naming patterns of residential dwellings in a seaside resort town, Benicàssim (Valencia), on Spain's Mediterranean coast. The fieldwork encompassed a survey of over 500 dwelling units along the town's coastal margin which has been developed over the last 100 years. Names, specifically personal names and surnames, are most commonly used, with women's name's being most frequent. Almost invariably these are associated with si…

  • A Midwestern Chinatown? Cleveland, Ohio in North American Context, 1900–2005

    Emily Aronson, Robert B Kent et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Geography2008Referencias: 8

    The Chinatowns in North America's major cities have received considerable attention from scholars, but few have considered the experience of Chinatowns in interior, non-gateway cities. This paper seeks to explore such a Chinatown in Cleveland, Ohio and place its cultural-historical development and evolution in a broader context. The characteristics of Chinatowns in larger North American cities are reviewed and a framework is developed that identi…

  • Integrating beyond the campus

    Ray Bromley, Robert B Kent et al.ARTICLEPlanning Practice and Research2006

    Most major US Colleges and universities were founded over 75 years ago, and so their main campus locations are often related to past population distributions rather than contemporary ones. Many are located in the cities of 'the Rustbelt' -the old urban-industrial heartland of the northeast, the mid-Atlantic, and the mid-west. During the twentieth century these cities have tended to decline relative to their bureoning suburbs and 'the Sunbelt' -th…

  • Constitutionalism in Zambia

    Open AccessMuna Ndulo, Muna B Ndulo et al.ARTICLEJournal of African Law1996

    Writing about any constitution is tricky business and that of Zambia is no exception. Four constitutions in 32 years hardly represents a settled state of affairs, and an end, or even a stopping place of long duration, does not appear in sight. This is, however, an interesting, even exciting period in Zambia’s brief constitutional history. The subject cries out for an examination of where the country has been, where it is, and where, at least in t…

  • Spanish-Language Newspapers in the United States

    Open AccessRobert B Kent, Robert Β Kent et al.ARTICLEGeographical Review1996Citada por: 5Referencias: 2

    Throughout the history of the United States most immigrants have arrived speaking only their native language. When population concentrations who spoke the same language arose, foreign-language newspapers often appeared to serve them. Typically, these newspapers terminated publication once the group gained command of the English language and when the influx of additional group members in the area subsided (Fishman 1966; Monmonier 1986; Emery and E…

  • Map Use in Regional Newspapers in the Midwestern United States 1930-1985

    Robert B Kent, Robert Β Kent et al.ARTICLECartographica The International…1993

    Map use in three metropolitan newspapers in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Cincinnati Enquirer, and the Columbus Dispatch is sampled between 1930 and 1985. Each has daily and Sunday circulations between 250,000 and 500,000. The frequency of map use, the thematic focus of map-illustrated articles, and the geographic area mapped are all examined. Overall, map use has been limited. Similar temporal trends in map use are demonstrated by each o…

  • Geographical Dimensions of the Shining Path Insurgency in Peru

    Open AccessRobert B Kent, Robert Β KentARTICLEGeographical Review1993Citada por: 18Referencias: 4

    The Shining Path insurgency began in Peru in 1980. The strategy emphasized rural revolution, establishment of liberated zones, and encirclement of cities. The counterinsurgent campaign in 1983 prevented the creation of a permanent territorial base in the departments of Ayacucho and Apurimac but led to expansion of insurgent operations northward in the central Andes. In the mid-1980s the insurgents advanced into the rain-forest region of the upper…

  • Neighborhood Gentrification

    Jill R Schuler, Robert B Kent et al.ARTICLEUrban Geography1992Citada por: 7Referencias: 1

    This study examines one gentrifying neighborhood, Ohio City, in Cleveland, Ohio. It utilizes block group-level data and discriminant analysis to identify key variables associated with the gentrification process. Two discriminant functions resulted from the analysis. One function is highly associated with the percentage of college-educated residents and the other associated with a high proportion of white population, aged 25 to 40, with high media…

  • Identification of Ethnic Settlement Regions

    Open AccessRobert B Kent, Robert Β Kent et al.ARTICLERural Sociology1990Citada por: 5Referencias: 11

    The persistence of ethnic settlement in rural regions of the United States is well documented. Yet, there has been little discussion of techniques which allow the identification of the geographic extent and concentration of distinctive ethnic populations. Amish-Mennonite settlement constitutes a unique component of the rural landscape. A wide range of visual clues alert the observer to their presence, but without painstaking field surveys it is d…
