Compulsory elements in daily personal mobilities
This article explores the nature of compulsory elements within daily mobilities that seemingly present freedom and personal autonomy, notably in the ability of individuals to choose among several mobility modes and technological vehicles for these movements. We argue that behind this supposedly 'free' look of these personal mobilities, some essential and rather compulsory motivations for mobility are hidden. Thus, these mobilities constitute subl…
Which country recorded the highest digital penetration in 2022-2023
This paper explores country penetration levels of major Internet applications replacing physical activities. This exploration first aims to learn whether high penetration levels typify large or small countries. Second, it seeks to see whether wealthier countries, among the largest ones by population, lead penetration levels for major Internet applications. Previous data for 2010 showed that smaller countries led globally in their penetration leve…

Basic human requirements of physical and virtual spaces and their implications
The article portrays, first, the basic human requirements of physical and virtual spaces. Second, the article attempts to examine the relationships among the several basic human requirements of physical space, as well as the relationships between the requirements of physical space and those of virtual space. Third, the article suggests that the basic spatial requirements of individuals be examined in light of human spatial pulses, which include e…
(Im)Mobilities
This article suggests that a partial contradiction between mobility and immobility was true for prepandemic physical mobility only and that, currently, the distinction between mobile and immobile individuals has turned fully relational. Fixity constitutes a voluntary condition, whereas immobility is perceived as an imposed one. The major dimensions for physical immobility are restraints for work and travel. Digital–virtual immobility can be measu…

Personal Spatial Mobilities after the Covid-19 Pandemic
This article attempts to speculate on possible post-COVID-19 pandemic scenarios for daily and periodic touristic personal mobilities. Post-COVID-19 pandemic mobilities are assumed to reflect people’s basic needs for mobilities, their pre-pandemic, and pandemic mobility experiences, as well as societal-economic forces pushing for changes in mobility patterns. The article begins with explorations for the basic personal push and pull triggers for bo…
Social-spatial interaction, proximity, and distance
The article aims at a contextualization and conceptualization for the spatial extent of social communications, coupled with a presentation of the cumulative evidence in this regard. The contextualization of the spatial extent of social ties is anchored within the pre-commercial Internet kind of tyranny of space, as well as within contemporary interpretations of Internet-related distance and space/location. Before the introduction of the commercia…

Globalization and Spatial Mobilities
Presenting a comparative examination of five major voluntary global movements: commodities, people, capital, information and technology, this book traces and develops discussions of globalization and spatial mobility. The book further covers the means and media used for these mobilities: ports and ships, airports and airplanes, international banking electronic media, and the Internet, telephony and TV. Two concluding chapters focus on the mobile …
The Internet City
Exploring the history of the Internet, from pre-conception, to the possibilities of an Internet-based future, The Internet City presents ways in which the Internet and urban life intersect. The book interprets how the contemporary city is becoming fully based on Internet technologies in all of its major dimensions: the daily activities of urbanites and urban companies, the operations of urban systems, and the functioning of the upcoming driverles…

Are Virtual and Urban Spaces at Equilibrium
The objective of this paper is to shed some light on the lack of significant transitions in urban spatial organization, in light of informational activities, which have turned fully virtual and mobile through the Internet, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Futurist literature predicted at the time the dismantling of cities in the information age, but more recent literature has not confirmed this possibility. Data on commuting, shopping, and soci…

Symbolic Places of National History and Revival
Symbolic places that celebrate history and invest locations with mythical meaning provide a sense of identity in place and time; they fuse history and geography in terms of myth and memory. The retrieval and evocation of ancient history in terms of symbolic places seems to be especially significant in periods of national revival, when the invention and reinvention of tradition feature prominently in the framework of nation‐building. This study ex…

Settlement Myth and Settlement Activity
Settlement frontiers may bring about the production of political settlement myths leading future settlers to frontier settlements. Such myths may develop through three phases of geographical interpretation: (i) the realization or consumption of previous myths, (ii) ideological loading of the landscape and (iii) the emergence of mythical space. These phases, notably the latter, are expressed in various outlets of the collective memory and civil re…

Agricultural Location Theory 1
Agricultural location theory deals with both the location - allocation process of land uses by farmers, and the spatial organization of agricultural land uses. The major term in its classical versions is economic rent relating to some form of surplus. Ricardo's theory emphasized the physical qualities of land and urban demand as major determinants in rent production. Von Thünen's theory emphasized distance from farm to market as well as transport…

Each of the many assumptions of von Thünen's crop theory may be relaxed separately. Although these exercises demonstrate the flexibility of the theory, few attempts have been made to relax more than one assumption at a time. The theory has been applied widely and internationally at three scales, namely the microscale, mesoscale, and macroscale. The microscale relates to distances from famers' homes to their fields. The mesoscale relates to land u…

The Pertinence of the Macro-Thunian Analysis
Thunen's rent theory has been applied to situations of extensive urban areas and their nationwide agricultural hinterlands. These relationships may be expressed in terms of the rent equation converted to a negative exponential curve. The nationwide model must include the aggregate impacts of urban markets other than the macro one. This model was tested using 1969-1970 county data for the United States. The urban market factor explained only 16 pe…

Economic and Spatial Aspects of von Thünen's Factor Intensity Theory
Von Thünen's intensity theory, or the formulation of optimum intensity of land uses, has been proposed for several economic conditions using classical, neoclassical, and general approaches. The theory may also be presented through the development of intensity curves, producing the missing spatial element of the theory. The several possible forms of the intensity curve have different relations with von Thünen's crop-theory rent curves, thus produc…

The Decycling of Time and the Reorganization of Urban Space
There are three temporal cycles which have been partially relaxed in urban entities, namely days/nights, weekdays/weekends and winter/summer. They may be examined in light of three pairs of terms: timing/spacing; temporality/spatiality; and temporalization/spatialization. The blurring of the three cycles is differentially related to technological innovations, social change and to the capitalist system. The daily cycle has initially changed by lig…
