Evolution of Urban Spatial Clusters in China: A Graph-Based Method Using Nighttime Light Data
An urban spatial cluster (USC) describes one or more geographic agglomerations and the linkages among cities. USCs are conventionally delineated based on predefined administrative boundaries of cities, without considering the dynamic and evolving nature of the spatial extent of USCs. This study uses Defense Meteorological Satellite Program/Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) nighttime light (NTL) satellite images to quantitatively detect and c…
Polis: Escalar de la deliberación mediante el mapeo de espacios de opinión de alta dimensión
Deliberative and participatory approaches to democracy seek to directly include citizens in decision-making and agenda-setting processes. These methods date back to the very foundations of democracy in Athens, where regular citizens shared the burden of governance and deliberated every major issue. However, thinkers at the time rightly believed that these methods could not function beyond the scale of the city-state, or polis. Representative demo…
Widespread infilling of tidal channels and navigable waterways in the human-modified tidal deltaplain of southwest Bangladesh
Since the 1960s, ~5000 km2 of tidal deltaplain in southwest Bangladesh has been embanked and converted to densely inhabited, agricultural islands (i.e., polders). This landscape is juxtaposed to the adjacent Sundarbans, a pristine mangrove forest, both well connected by a dense network of tidal channels that effectively convey water and sediment throughout the region. The extensive embanking in poldered areas, however, has greatly reduced the tid…
Changing spatial perception: Dasymetric mapping to improve analysis of health outcomes in a megacity
Choropleth representation has been the most widely applied method to represent rates in disease maps due to its consistency in depicting relative data. However polygons in a choropleth map may give the erroneous notion of homogenous distribution over area in cases where the mapped quantity varies in its spatial distribution. In the case of population maps, choropleth maps suggest uniform distribution of people within large peri-urban administrati…

Urban environmental stewardship and changes in vegetative cover and building footprint in New York City neighborhoods (2000–2010)

The global distribution of human population and recent volcanism
This study quantifies the spatial relationship between the global distribution of human population and recent volcanism. Using recently compiled databases of population and Holocene volcanoes, we estimate that almost 9% (455 × 106 people) of the world's 1990 population lived within 100km of an historically active volcano and 12% within 100km of a volcano believed to have been active during the last 10,000 years. The analysis also indicates that a…

Musicking: The Meanings of Performing and Listening
Extending the inquiry of his early groundbreaking books, Christopher Small strikes at the heart of traditional studies of Western music by asserting that music is not a thing, but rather an activity. This new work outlines a theory of what Small terms "musicking," a verb that encompasses all musical activity from composing to performing to listening to a Walkman to singing in the shower. Using Gregory Bateson's philosophy of mind and a Geertzian …

Music-Society-Education
Cited by Soundpost as remarkable and revolutionary upon its publication in 1977, Music, Society, Education has become a classic in the study of music as a social force. Christopher Small sets out to examine the social implications of Western classical music, effects that until recently have been largely ignored or dismissed by most musicologists. He strives to view the Western musical tradition through the mirror of these other musics [Balinese a…
