India
The Culture of India in Spatial Perspective
India is a country of diverse cultures. A spatial unit in a given period of time will develop particular cultural traits if it remains relatively isolated from other units. The areal extent of each religious group is one important spatial aspect of the study of religion. The problems of regional language diversity remain some of the most vexing difficulties facing India as it attempts to achieve national unity. Although the regional culture may b…

Mosque Architecture in Bangladesh
Bangladesh possesses a rich early heritage involving two great religions, Hinduism and Buddhism. These two beliefs, with their political patronization, developed an architectural vocabulary expressing their spiritual desire and aspiration. Later, when Muslims invaded India, they brought a different architectural approach, evident in their secular and religious structures all over the Indian subcontinent. Muslims built mosques with the use of impo…

Greenhouse Horticulture and Economic Transition
Between Vaasa and Kristinestad, in the Swedish-speaking areas of the South Ostrobothnia coast of Finland, the commune of Narpes is the center of the largest and most important area of greenhouse horticulture in Finland [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED]. The most significant in terms of volume and value of production, it supplies primarily tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce (Atlas 1982, 5.311). The development of this agricultural specialization i…

The Politics of Planting
On the open landscape of Israel and the West Bank, where pine and cypress forests grow alongside olive groves, tree planting has become symbolic of conflicting claims to the land. Palestinians cultivate olive groves as a vital agricultural resource, while the Israeli government has made restoration of mixed-growth forests a national priority. Although both sides plant for a variety of purposes, both have used tree planting to assert their presenc…
Barn Entry Porches, Pent Roofs, and Decorated Doors of the Eastern Midwest
Decorated barn doors occur over a large area of southern Michigan, western Ohio, and northeastern Indiana. Although conventionally assigned a Pennsylvania Dutch origin, an eastern New York origin appears more likely. Gable-side pent roofs, a second feature, do seem to have some connection with a southeastern Pennsylvania origin, although some interesting questions remain unresolved. The final feature is the entry porch, which also seems to have c…

Image and Substance
Novelists and geographers are each concerned with landscapes. Over time, geographers have come to appreciate that writers offer interpretations of land-scapes unavailable from scientific analysis. Writers convey feelings, viewpoints, values, attitudes and meanings associated with landscapes. The study of literary works by geographers is termed literary geography and it began in England. In the United States the subject received considerable atten…

Chinese Cities
This is an introduction to a special issue of Urban Geography devoted to urbanization in China particularly the role of urbanization in the development process that has occurred in the post-Mao period since 1976. The papers included here were presented at a conference on Asian urbanization held at the University of Akron Ohio April 19-20 1985. The authors of this introduction identify a number of important issues related to urbanization in China …

Urban form and settlement patterns have changed dramatically in Saudi Arabia as a result of increased wealth and a shift to an urban services-based economy. Traditional Saudi urban form reflected climatic and social-religious constraints. Recent developments have followed Western urban forms that largely ignore tradition. The gemeinschaft-gesellschaft model is proposed as an approach to unite traditional and recent urban forms into a coherent phy…

Some Notes on Himalayan Mapping
The Himalaya, the southern frontier of Central Asia, has been for centuries a geographic enigma akin to the headwaters of the Nile and the wanderings of the Lop Nor. The earlier problems of location and elevation were solved, for the most part, by the pioneering efforts of the Surveyor General of India and the Survey of India, conducted since the mid-nineteenth century. Unfortunately, virtually all of the maps produced by the Surveyor General of …

The Evolution of American Farm Silos
The conspicuous silo on American farmsteads is the result of an evolving process to store ensilage effectively. From merely indoor stone-lined pits in the ground and exterior wooden rectangular and circular silos of the past, today's silos include the highly mechanical fiberglass and metal (Harvestore) structures. Ensilage has become an important aspect of agriculture, especially in the northeastern quarter of the United States and adjacent parts…

Socio-Economic Factors Affecting Marriage Distance in Two Sikh Villages of Punjab
The spatial aspects of marriage in two Sikh villages in the Indian state of Punjab are investigated with the findings compared to earlier sudies in other parts of India. One village had experienced the Green Revolution, hut the second had not. A radius of roughly 25 miles demarcates the limit of over 80% of marriage interaction in both villages, and a “crater effect” was observed in the distance decay of marriages. An expansion of the marriage fi…

The Linguistic Geography of Dumka, Bihar, India
Surprisingly, in a country with such a large number of languages and dialects, little study has been given to this phenomenon either by cultural geographers or by other scholars. The lack of such studies is most apparent at the local level. The present study examines the pattern of both written and spoken language in the small north Indian town of Dumka. Spoken languages tend to follow neighborhood boundaries fairly closely, but the pattern of wr…

The Hay Barrack
Hay barracks are common, although steadily disappearing, features of northwestern Europe. In North America, only widely scattered survivals of the structure can be identified. This study analyzes the various evolutionary forms of hay barracks in northwestern Europe and relates those forms to environmental conditions and changing levels of technology. The provinces of Zuid Holland and Utrecht appear to have been the place of origin of the hay barr…
