Water in the Middle East
Children describe their experiences of the city centre
A large‐scale qualitative study of the views of British 10–12 years olds is reported. The focus is on children's perceptions of their local urban centres, and in particular on the concerns and fears that they have about using the centres. It is argued that, in the context of the debate about such centres retaining business in the face of the challenge from out‐of‐town malls, designers should be more aware of the comparisons that such children dra…

Human Space, Territoriality, and Conflict
This brief and speculative paper focuses direct attention on Totem, in particular certain totemic concerns with space as place. Through adopting an overall structuralist perspective, Eretz Yisrael, the land of Israel, is considered as a totemic space. This is developed against the broader backcloth of Jewish societal development and advanced through a brief study of the continuing Jewish settlement of Samaria. It is suggested that no deeper compr…

British Superstore Retailing Database
Specific criticism is directed at the database on superstore retailing in Britain being assembled by Davies and Sparks (1989). Their critique of alternative data sets is commented upon and critical flaws within the Davies and Sparks data assemblage are isolated. While the importance of the overall topic is stressed many of the claims and assertions of Davies and Sparks are considered as misplaced and tangential to overall progress. With a clearer…

The centrality of Islam
Irrigation Systems in the Holy Land
Exception is taken to Ron (1985). The sketchy evaluation of irrigation systems in the Holy Land is biased towards suggesting that much of the irrigation infrastructure can be traced back to Jewish and not to Arab sources. Secondly, no real attention is directed to the Zionist colonial water entrapment schemes that are now seriously depleting traditional, native fellahin irrigation methods
Superstores and Hypermarkets
The response to Price's critique of Rowley (1984) considers certain data bases on superstores and hypermarkets within the U.K. Attention is directed to alternate sources, deficiencies, varying definitions and 'saturation'. Outline details of the forthcoming Goad directory of out-of-centre shopping are presented. The overall scale of change is emphasized
Data Bases and Their Integration for Retail Geography
The first part of this paper focuses on certain data sources for retail geography, such as those provided in the Goad Shopping Centre Plans and other related material that has been developed recently, and considers these in relation to the specific requirements of academic, professional and commercial interests. The second part of the paper focuses upon some of the problems of integrating data on both retailing and consumer behaviour into overall…
Geography, segregation and American urban society
The Association of Retail Functions Within the City Centre
Plus Ça Change
G eographers , in contrast to many other social scientists, have devoted relatively scant attention to skid rows. In a recent paper, however, J. Ward (1975) examined “the geographical manifestations of the phenomenon" of the skid rows in six North American cities, concluding that the subject “might be usefully studied by geographers, since its spatial, functional, network‐linkage and territorial characteristics make it particularly amenable to ge…
The Pilgrimage to Mecca
The recent and continuing phenomenal growth in the numbers undertaking the pilgrimage to Mecca is considered against the backcloth of the host region's finite resources. A multiple-regression model is developed which seeks to explain the present pattern of pilgrim movement and to predict future numbers. Insights are provided into the actual stage-by-stage development towards the final model. The assumptions implicit within our evaluations are cle…
Sequential Fixed Cost Evaluators
The continuing consideration of the 'priority-evaluator approach' demonstrates how one may formulate and test hypotheses relating to the priority-evaluator data rather than merely present subjective evaluations of the data. Earlier reports, which considered only the initial round of the game, are reviewed, while the second part of the game is introduced, together with attendant analytical problems, particularly in testing against randomness. With…
The Distribution of Personal Wealth in English Towns
PHILLIP'S and Walton's (I975) recent paper on the distribution of personal wealth in English towns in the mid-nineteenth century was read with interest, but with increasing doubts and dissatisfaction. It is felt that certain observations must be made and answers to a number of specific and critical questions sought. The paper essentially concerns how and where the central exchequer raised 'In all, £I 384 745 . . levied from a total urban populati…

The Analysis of Housing and Travel Preferences
This paper represents a report on the study of housing and travel preferences both of coloured immigrants and of native British within the city of Sheffield, England. The investigation uses gaming procedures to facilitate the recording of raw data which reflect the preference patterns of the respondents. Certain hypotheses are proposed and the statistical analysis of the gaming procedures is developed. Simple χ2 goodness-of-fit tests are used to …

Coloured Immigrants within the City
The Greater London Council Elections of 1964 and 1967
Aspects of the electoral geography of the Greater London area as revealed in the I964 and I967 Greater London Council elections are studied. A theory relating to the spatial variation of political behaviour is considered and techniques for the investigation developed. Two tests provide a more developed comparison between the results of I964 and I967, and confirm the pertinence of earlier theoretical conjectures. Patterns of electoral swing and tu…

Central Places in Rural Wales
A realistic method of market area definition is based upon consumer behavior data collected in rural Wales. The more complex market centers are classified on the basis of these data. Overlapping areas, and the relationships between market area characteristics and the central place hierarchy, are considered

Settlement and Transportation in the Canadian North
Discusses importance of choosing settlement sites which allow for future expansion. Development and settlement depend mainly on transportation and the mining industry; transpolar aviation, military activities, and administrative services (schools, etc.) are factors in uneconomic areas. Historical development of transportation routes and future plans are discussed. Most research problems are in the engineering field: construction, fuel, lubricants…

Geography and Retailing
An important contribution to our understanding of the distribution of retail activities, particularly within cities, this book provides a critical review of the literature on the subject. It points out the major general propositions concerning retailing from the geographical point of view, and identifi es key research problems, which need to be examined in order to push forward the frontiers of this sub fi eld of economic geography. It presents a…
