Unpopular Sovereignty
Brent Rogers has expanded and refined the provocative argument he first put forth in his doctoral dissertation. He hypothesizes that the creation of Utah Territory presented the U.S. government unique challenges in the decade before the Civil War that continued both during and after the conflict itself. The challenges centered on how a territory could create a political system that ultimately would culminate in statehood for the territory. Rogers…
The Mapmakers of New Zion
Richard Francaviglia has produced an important volume relating to the Mormon experience for scholars and those historically minded individuals interested in the Mormon experience. He starts by explaining how and why place and space are so important in understanding all religions. Each religion began in a specific place and developed a cosmos in which certain places were seen as sacred for one reason or another. With the sanctification of certain …
Heritage tourism and group identity
Heritage sites important to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) are scattered across the United States. The most famous is Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah. A much more obscure site, Iosepa, is located in a desert valley west of Salt Lake City. Iosepa was a settlement of Hawaiian converts to the Mormon faith established in 1889 and abandoned in 1917. It was abandoned when plans for a Mormon temple in Hawa…
Place Making, Hazardous Waste, And The Development Of Tooele County, Utah
Declining populations, aging inhabitants and infrastructure, limited economic opportunities, and under‐ or unappreciated natural environments characterize a number of rural communities in the western United States. Faced with the challenges of providing for their residents, some of these communities have chosen to permit undesirable land‐use activities, including the disposal of hazardous or nuclear waste. Central to the development of such sites…

Religion and Tourism in Western China
Western China is markedly different from eastern China in climate, land forms and culture. Western China is home to a variety of Muslim and Buddhist groups whose history and culture are critical elements in the tourist attractions in the region. Tourist attractions related to China's distinctive religious minorities include both historic and functional temples, mosques, and other distinctive phenomenon. The culture of the individual groups presen…
Pilgrimage tourism and english cathedrals
Visiting cathedrals is one form of cultural tourism. The motivations of these visits are of worldly nature. Cultural heritage and architecture are the main points of attraction. However, on the spot visitors are usually touched by religious feelings
Native American Population Patterns
Regional concentration characterizes the distribution of Native Americans. They have been concentrated in the rural American West through three centuries of governmental intervention to create `Indian States. The last four decades have witnessed important changes in the geography of Native Americans. The majority of them are now urban residents and migration and more precise census enumeration have resulted in significant population growth in non…

Border Towns, Gambling and The Mormon Culture Region
Border towns that provide a specialized service for residents of adjacent political units are a common geographic phenomena. Nevada, for example, has long been the focus of legalized gambling activity in the United States because of restrictive laws in other states. In the last two decades several tiny eastern Nevada border communities have experienced rapid growth in population and gambling services at the same time that there was rapid populati…
Irrigation in sub-humid environments
Land Use Issues of the 1980s
Land use and development patterns are the result of a complex interaction of demographic trends, economic circumstances, and social attitudes. Technological advancements in areas such as transportation and construction, and the availability and cost of key natural resources, including land, fresh water, and energy, also have a profound impact on urban spatial patterns. Consequently, the determinants of urban spatial form are dramatically differen…
Perception of Sacred Space
Discrimination of space into sacred and profane is as old as mankind. This study suggests a typology for categorizing sacred Space at three broad levels: mysticoreligious, homelands and historical. Each is further divided on the basis of the extent of the group which shares the consensus view of sanctity. Recognizable levels include international, national, regional, community, neighborhood and individual sacred space. The Mormon culture was used…

Land Use in America
The Use of Adobe in the Mormon Cultural Region
The distinctiveness of the Mormon culture region has been described by several authors. One of the items which contributes to this distinctiveness was the widespread use of adobe (sun-dried brick) in relic buildings in the region. The process of adobe making was diffused from Spanish settlements in the American Southwest, and highly modifed by the Mormon builders in the Great Basin. Adobe was initially used in almost all forms of construction bec…
Papua New Guinea's trade patterns since independence
Running down the up‐escalator
Inequalities between the nineteen Provinces of Papua New Guinea are considerable; they do not appear to be decreasing. The mechanisms used by government in allocating funds to the Provinces have not helped reduce overall inequalities, nor, in its first year of operation, have the new planning procedures. This is partly because PNG is aiming at contradictory goals simultaneously, but it is also because the ideology of decentralization is mismatche…
Mormon Perception and Settlement
The distribution of Mormon settlements in the Great Basin is the result of the environmental perception of the Mormon leaders. The leaders selected the Salt Lake Valley as a destination on the basis of reports of explorers, and their perception of the region was formed before they ever saw the West. The central feature of the leaders'perception was the idea that the division between the then Oregon and California territories at the 42 parallel ma…

Economic Rationality Amongst African Rural Market Traders
The aim of this paper is to show how market traders in a remote area of Uganda act in an economically rational fashion. As will be seen, their patterns of activity relate fairly closely to price differences operating in various subdivisions (counties) of the study area, and to the strength of price gradients. In fact, it is the limitations of the model presented (or the writer's own economic rationality) that prevents an ever nicer observation of…
