Directed movements in probabilistic time geography

This paper studies probabilistic time geography for space-time prisms, i.e., for situations where observers know the location of an agent at one time and then again at another time. In between the agent has moved freely, according to its time budget. The paper demonstrates that the probability to find the agent somewhere in the space-time prism is not equally distributed, such that any attempt ...

The elements of probabilistic time geography

Time geography uses space-time volumes to represent the possible locations of a mobile agent over time in a x-y-t space. A volume is a qualitative representation of the fact that the agent is at a particular time ti inside of the volume’s base at ti. Spacetime volumes enable qualitative analysis such as potential encounters between agents. In this paper the qualitative statements of time geogra...

Community-Based disaster risk Management towards Sustainable Development

Background and Purpose:With the rise of natural disasters, different societies have continually sought to discover solutions to control or minimize the damage caused by unexpected events and to actually manage disasters. In the past few decades, the need for social participation to reduce disasters has increased. The community-based disaster  risk management framework is growing. Therefore, thi...

A Time-Geographic Approach to Wildlife-Road Interactions

Addressing the effects of roadway presence on wildlife movement is a growing concern in both conservation and transportation planning (Corlatti et al. 2009, Fahrig and Rytwinski 2009). One common effect of road presence is the collision between vehicles and animals resulting in direct mortality if an animal attempts to cross the road (Clevenger et al. 2003, Orlowski G and Nowak L 2006). This pr...
