The Psychological Impact of Confinement Linked to the Coronavirus Epidemic Covid-19 in Algeria
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread in countries around the world. The impact of this virus is very great on populations following the application of total and partial containment measures. Our study aims to study the psychological impact of total and partial containment applied in Algeria, on 23 March 2020, following the spread of the virus COVID-19 and also studied the habits and behaviors of the Algerian population during this new way of…

The adoption of agroecology and conventional farming techniques varies with socio-demographic characteristics of small-scale farmers in the Fako and Meme divisions of Cameroon
Grass Material as a Modern Process Standard for 14 C Analysis of n -Alkanes
One of the difficulties in reporting accurate radiocarbon results from compound-specific radiocarbon analysis (CSRA) is the lack of suitable process standard materials to correct for the amount and 14 C content of carbon added during extensive sample processing. We evaluated the use of n -alkanes extracted from modern grass material (1.224±0.006 fraction modern) as process standards for CSRA. The n -alkanes were isolated using preparative capilla…
Participatory action research for rural and regional development
The origins of this special issue of Geographical Research can be traced back to the 21st Colloquium of the Commission on the Sustainability of Rural Systems of the International Geographical Union at Nagoya University, Japan, in 2013. Christopher Bryant discussed the role and challenges of action research in his keynote presentation at the beginning of the Colloquium, and this prompted subsequent discussion on the practical value of much of the …
The integration of action research and traditional field research to provide sustainable solutions to maintaining periurban agriculture
Maintaining periurban agriculture and prime periurban farmland has become a leitmotiv in land use planning and management around many cities in North America and Western Europe since the 1960s. This article focuses on the changing perspectives associated with these planning and management initiatives as well as changing research approaches. Initially, periurban farmland was often seen by planners as a land reserve for urban development. Subsequen…
Action research and reducing the vulnerability of peri-urban agriculture
Important pressures still increase the vulnerability of peri-urban farming despite initiatives to protect agricultural land and activities since the mid-1960s in several jurisdictions in the USA and Canada. Often, farmland is still removed from agricultural reserves for the 'good of society' (for example, creating industrial parks). In 2008, an action research project was initiated to attempt to reduce agricultural vulnerability in several peri-u…

The importance of regional variation in the analysis of urbanization-agriculture interactions
Research into agriculture in metropolitan regions has concentrated on urban-induced agricultural land use changes. Other processes of change and factors related to variations in the regional environment have been neglected. Some recent research is reported here which points to the importance of the regional environment at a variety of scale levels. First, a typology of regions based on Census Metropolitan Areas in Canada is developed. Some groups…
Agricultural Change and Farmland Rental in an Urbanising Environment
Dans l'analyse des rapports entre l'urbanisation et l'agriculture, la recherche géographique s'est surtout intéressée, jusqu'à maintenant, aux effets néfastes de la croissance urbaine sur l'agriculture. Nous émettons l'idée que cette interaction, lorsque prévalent des conditions régionales bien précises, peut jouer un rôle positif dans le progrès agricole. C'est à titre d'exemple d'effets potentiellement bénéfiques que nous étudions ici le phénom…
Precision and accuracy in applied 14C dating
Capabilities of the New Suerc 5MV AMS Facility for 14 C Dating
A new National Electrostatic Corporation (NEC) 5MV accelerator mass spectrometer became operational at the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre (SUERC) in July 2002. It has 2 Cs sputter negative ion sources: a 134-sample source (S1) for the routine measurement of all species, and a hybrid source (S2) with 40 spaces for radiocarbon measurements with either graphite or CO 2 samples. A number of performance tests on graphite samples h…
Is there a Fifth International Radiocarbon Intercomparison (Viri)
The issue of comparability of measurements (and thus bias, accuracy, and precision of measurement) from diverse laboratories is one which has been the focus of some attention both within the radiocarbon community and the wider user communities. As a result, the 14 C community has undertaken a widescale, far-reaching, and evolving program of intercomparisons, to the benefit of laboratories and users alike. The benefit to the users is, however, ind…
Is Comparability of 14 C Dates an Issue
For more than 15 years, the radiocarbon community has participated in a series of laboratory intercomparisons in response to the issue of comparability of measurements as perceived within the wider user communities (Scott et al. 1990; Rozanski et al. 1992; Gulliksen and Scott 1995; Scott et al. 1997). In this report, we provide an update on the current 14 C laboratory intercomparison and reflect on future issues linked to the laboratory intercomp…
Towards a Radiocarbon Chronology of the Late-Glacial
This paper outlines a dating program designed to test the reproducibility of radiocarbon dates on different materials of Late-Glacial age (plant macrofossils, fossil beetle remains, and the “humic” and “humin” chemical fractions of limnic sediments) using a combination of radiometric (beta counting) and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) techniques. The results have implications for the design of sampling strategies and for the development of im…

Agriculture in an Urbanizing Environment
In research on urbanization‐agriculture interactions, little attention has been paid to variation in farmers' evaluations of the potential urbanization forces or the strategies adopted. A conceptual framework is developed linking variation in farmers' evaluations and strategies to the strength of potential urbanization forces. Based on survey data from the Paris region, a strong relationship was found between these forces and farmers' evaluations…

Urbanisation et structures agricoles de la région parisienne entre 1955 et 1966. Essai de méthode
Urbanization and Agricultural Structures in the Paris Region between 1955 and 1966. In order to define a suitable program of rural planning, it is first necessary to analyze the transformations occurring in agricultural structures as a result of urbanization. This article explains how to prepare a "spatial diagnostic" or representation of situations in geographical space, the first step in such an analysis. After describing the principal characte…
An Approach to the Problem of Urbanisation and Structural Change in Agriculture
One reason for investigating the relationship between urbanisation and structural change in agriculture is its pertinence to the increasing emphasis on space in metropolitan planning.1 Urbanisation, with the increased demands it makes for land, labour and agricultural produce, can effect significant changes in agricultural structure. For instance, in metropolitan areas the attraction of agricultural labour and farmers into non-agricultural employ…
The Conversion of Arable Land to Orchards
one farmer response to such an expanding market for fruit. This paper is concerned with this phenomenon, particularly via the expansion of existing fruit farms. Such an increase in the productive capacity of existing farms represents an attempt by their farmers to participate in the expanding market opportunities, as well as being related to more general trends in living standards and technological change. One might expect the location of such co…
