From general attitude to individual expectation - local societies facing NICTs
Authors: Lenz Barbara , Preiss Lise
Published: February 2020

The adoption of new media is closely related to the individual 's local and regional environment where much of the significance of new information and communication technologies for the everyday use arises. For this reason the study starts by the hypothesis that acceptance and use of I&C technology in everyday life is determined less by the opportunity to participate in the ‘global village ’ than by their perceived, or at least expected, benefit in the individual ’s own environment. Using an action theoretic model as the basis the authors rise the question which expectations and attitudes lead the members of different social groups to use or not to use I&C technologies in their everyday life. ‘Age ’ and ‘education ’ are used here as core variables for social differentiation. The results that are part of a much broader survey show that the equipment with and the use of I&C technologies do vary clearly according to age and educational level. The difference, however, is less significant on the level of expectations and attitudes. Three basic patterns of expectations and attitudes which correspond to different socio-economic groups and their specific way of action are found by the study.
The Fragmental Map. The case of urban spaces or structures
Authors: Forsstroem Aake
Published: February 2020

The primary purpose of this study is to establish the mapping principles of the new urban structures evolving from the spatial implications of infrastructure development. A secondary aim is to give an overview of the transport technology changes, and infrastructure expansion and integration in a 100-year perspective.

The method in the overview includes the use of basic conceptions such as space-time convergence, tube quality extension and time geographic constraints. They are supplemented by some empirical conclusions based on a time spectrum from Heckscher through Aagesen, Godlund to Hagerstrand, among others. Underlying is the causality conception of social method. Expressed as the causal power, it underlines the enabling character of a phenomenon in a social context.

The causal power of network extension and integration is decreasing time-distances between network nodes. The long-time growth of the first railway net and later the road net implies the slow transformation of networks from areal covering by nodes and links to a structural linking of fewer nodes and links. These network changes result in highly increased accessibility in a sample of cities and places, and in decreased accessibility in many areas in-between. These cities and places constitute an urban virtual structure.

The tube quality of modern transport networks leads to the conclusion that discontinuity is a primary principle in the mapping of accessibility. The use of computer-based techniques such as distance transformation or rough isochron maps does not take this structural discontinuity into account. Topologie mapping on the other hand does not consider time-space convergence. By merging travel-time-delimited parts of cooperative transport networks around the cities and places of the named structure, a fragmental map, which takes into consideration both the tube quality and time-space convergence, can be constructed.
Une distribution urbaine comparée au modèle de Christaller : l’arc méditerranéen français
Authors: Kaddouri Lahouari
Published: February 2020

Afin de montrer l’inégale répartition des villes sur un espace, il existe de nombreux procédés. Parmi ceux-ci, la comparaison des constructions d’une distribution urbaine et d’une distribution selon le modèle théorique de W. Christaller (1933) montre, de manière efficace et simple, la répartition hétérogène des villes des régions françaises méditerranéennes, et les écarts à une certaine uniformité.
Mastering Inner Space : Telecommunications Technology and Geography in the 20th Century
Authors: Abler Ronald F.
Published: February 2020

The following paper presents an Inmted Plenary Address at the 29th International Geographical Congress, 16 August 2000. Ronald F. Abler, Prof essor Emeritus of Geography at Penn State University, has been Executive Director of the Association of American Geographers since 1989. He was elected as Executive Secretary of the IGU (Seoul IG Congress, 2000). Pr. Abler is one of the founding fathers of telecommunications geography. He worked as a telephone equipment installer and as a postal clerk before beginning graduate work at the University of Minnesota, where he completed his doctoral dissertation on The Geography of Intercommunications Systems : Postal and Telephone Systems in the United States, in 1968. He has subsequently taught and written extensively on how different societies have used intercommunications media at different times and places. He has written in 1991 : “Research on geographical aspects of telecommunications... is scare. Despite the fundamentally geographical natures of telecommunications and the industries that provide such services... the topic remains underdeveloped in geography. Nor have large numbers of other social scientists expressed great interest in the topic. Given their importance in both advanced and developing economies, there exists a serious lack of detailed research on telecommunications in general and on geographical aspects of telecommunications industries in particular. The absence of research is matched by a corresponding lack of instruction that might interest more students in telecommunications topics” (Netcom).
Emerging patterns in telematic flows among European countries and peculiarities of the Italian case
Authors: Boria Edoardo
Published: February 2020

The development of the Internet in Europe bos witnessed extraordinary and rapid growth over the last few years. If, in general terms, this phenomenon is common among many countries it is also true that the rhythm of Internet penetration has nonetheless been quite different. This difference is even more pronounced when the analysis is extended beyond the EU Member States to Europe in its larger context, i.e. the composite regional macroeconomic system that, for cultural and commercial reasons, Joins countries in an intense and significant relationship (including, in particular, the EFTA countries, Turkey and some East European countries). The paper seeks to verify whether -and to what degree -the relationships that currently exist on the Internet among these countries are such that they show the prerequisites of a network in which it is possible to identify a series of ties that define a clear hierarchical structure to this space. In conclusion the Italian case, which due to the disparities in the regional (north and central vs. south) diffusion of the phenomenon presents important peculiarities, will be dealt with in depth. The aim is to identify the causes and evaluate whether the liberalisation processes that are presently occurring in the telecommunications sector will, in future, result in a reduction or in a worsening of this national anomaly.
City Networks of Korea : A Telephone-Call Flows Interpretation
Authors: Huh Woo-Kung
Published: February 2020

An issue as regard to the spatial organization of urban settlements in the information era has been on the notions of city networks. The literature posits that a network city would evolve when two or more previously independent cities strive to cooperate, aided by fast and reliable corridors of transport and communications infrastructure. The present study examined if the geographical patterns of inter-urban information flows indicate some types of network relationships among cities of Korea, using the data of inter-city telephone calls during the May of 1999. The study employed the dominance flow analysis and spatial interaction models to reveal a sweeping dominance of Seoul over the entire Korea. Most cities were subordinate to the national hub in one way or another, then to their respective regional centers too. These findings imply that the hypothesis of network relationships among cities may not be a suitabe frame of explanation on the spatial pattern of urban settlements in developing countries like Korea, where a high urban primacy has persisted for long time. The study also found several clusters of local centers with significant information flows, among the cities in the eastern mountainous region and in the southern coastal band in particular, which guarantee a further examination whether there do exist network relationships within those city clusters.
Les territoires de la téléphonie mobile en Afrique
Authors: Chéneau-Loquay Annie
Published: February 2020

Comme dans les pays développés, le téléphone mobile connaît en Afrique un succès qui dépasse les prévisions les plus optimistes, succès plus immédiat que celui d’Internet. À l’échelle d’un pays comme le Sénégal, le réseau cellulaire à la fois épouse la structure des anciens réseaux installés, mais aussi, étant donné sa configuration spécifique, permet à des zones périphériques, dépourvues de toute autre infrastructure moderne, d’accéder aux lieux centraux. Cette relative "égalitarisation ” de l’espace de circulation de l’information permet une création d’usages à moindre coût dans les zones urbaines ou périurbaines pauvres. Dans les zones centrales, les usagers sont globalement les mêmes que ceux que l’on observe ailleurs dans le monde dans la première phase d’installation. Ainsi, au Sénégal le “ bassin téléphonique de relation” du téléphone mobile semble être, davantage que pour le téléphone fixe, celui de la proximité, de l’intraurbain.
New Information Technologies and the City : Re-discovering people and places
Authors: Occelli Sylvie
Published: February 2020

New Information Technologies (NIT) have a pervasive impact on urban life and the socio-economic development of cities. However, studies on the relationship between NIT and the city are frequently accompanied by a sense of dissatisfaction. One possible reason is that the innovative role of NIT tends to be overlooked, from both a substantive and methodological point of view. In this paper, we address the issue by developing some previous works in which a distinction between the hard and soft components of innovation was emphasised. Such a distinction is important because it opens up new ways of thinking about urban processes and their management. While the hard component of NIT affects the city through evolutionary and co-evolutionary processes, the soft component changes our ways of perceiving them, thus affecting them yet further, causing an accelerating and self-reinforcing effect.

This paper is organised as follows. Firstly, we propose a taxonomy of the areas of research with groupings suitable for constituting major components of a conceptual framework from which research agendas on the relationships between NTT and the city could be developed. We then present the results of an accessibility study recently carried out by 1RES in the Turin Metropolitan Area. This study was inspired by a desire to investigate the distinction between the hard and soft components of NIT, and to provide some empirical evidence on the perceived impact of NIT in a region which, underwent a Fordist-type of industrial development in the sixties, and is still subject to a process of socio-economic restructuring. The last section summarises the main findings of this study and makes some suggestions for future research.
Information géographique et Internet : les sites territoriaux ou l’émergence d’une intelligence collective du territoire
Authors: Pierre Sylvain
Published: February 2020

La diffusion de l’information géographique est l’un des enjeux de l’utilisation et de l’appropriation d’Internet. L’apport de la géographie à la compréhension du monde sera pour une bonne part tributaire de cette possibilité de rendre lisible et accessible le territoire dans toute sa complexité au plus grand nombre. Cet article s’intéresse à certains sites Internet spécifiques portant les enjeux sociaux les plus forts : les sites territoriaux, produits par des gestionnaires traditionnels du territoire (États, collectivités. . .) ou par divers autres acteurs émergents (associations, communautés d’intérêt). Ces sites ainsi que les systèmes d’information territoriaux sur lesquels ils reposent constituent un domaine d’intervention et d’étude privilégié pour le géographe .
Effective B2C Electronic Commerce -The Need for Logistics Structures
Authors: Paché Gilles
Published: February 2020

Le commerce électronique est aujourd’hui le symbole d’un espace économique sans frontières dans lequel le consommateur accède aisément à un marché global de produits et de services. Il est certes admis que la logistique constitue un facteur-clé de succès et nécessite une parfaite coordination entre les membres de la chaîne d’approvisionnement. En revanche, peu de choses sont dites et écrites sur l’implantation de structures logistiques adaptées. L’auteur argumente sur ce point en précisant que plusieurs alternatives sont envisageables en matière de logistique physique, sans qu ’un modèle consensuel n’émerge véritablement.
Internet Development in Asia-Pacific : Spatial patterns and Underlying Locational Factors
Authors: Loo Becky P.Y. , Wong Agnes Y. P.
Published: February 2020

A digital world has emerged with the international diffusion of the Internet. Many research works on the geography of the Internet at the global and national scales have focused on the West, particularly the United States (US) and European countries. Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has developed rapidly in Asia. Ip to date, few studies have been conducted on Internet development in Asia. With such rapid development, there is an urge for geographers to review, analyse and identify the spatial patterns of Internet development and their underlying locational factors. This paper attempts to identify the spatial patterns of Internet development in the Asia-Pacific and to find out the factors affecting Internet growth in the region. It is hoped that the findings can lead to further studies on the geography of the Internet in the Asia-Pacific.

Concentration of Call Centres in Peripheral Areas : Cases in Japan
Authors: Arai Yoshio , Sugizaki Kazuhiro
Published: February 2020

La localisation des centres d’appel dans des zones périphériques - Études de cas au Japon. — Cet article s’intéresse aux centres d’appels et à la localisation d’activités utilisatrices d’informations dans des secteurs périphériques au Japon. Bien que les centres d’appels se concentrent souvent dans les très grandes agglomérations, on note une localisation croissante de centres d’appels à Sapporo et à Naha (villes situées dans des secteurs périphériques). Des incitations ont pu être lancées par les autorités locales et notamment sous forme d'aides destinées à compenser les frais de télécommunication (les centres d’appel utilisent les lignes spécialisées numériques pour relier les centres situés dans des zones périphériques aux grands centres téléphoniques installés principalement à Tokyo). Parmi les autres avantages de ces zones périphériques, l’auteur identifie : bas niveaux de salaire ; faible taux de turnover ; forte demande d’emploi de la part d’une population féminine ; stagnation de l’économie locale. Dans ces deux ville de Sapporo et Naha, les centres d’appel ont contribué à la revitalisation de l économie locale (création d'emplois).

Call Centres : a Swedish Geographical Perspective exemplified by conditions in the West of Sweden
Authors: Lorentzon Sten
Published: February 2020

The arrival of the Internet as well as that of cheap long-distance telecommunications mean that many activities that once required physical presence can now be conducted online. On the other hand, at transferring unstructured information which is often the case when work is carried out in the form of a project, proximity seems to be more needed than ever. In Sweden, sparsely populated, new telecomputer techniques are seen as means for regional development. Besides, ICT-use enables the location of functions to Sweden that may serve Scandinavia and the Baltic Region in an European context. Studies presented in this paper have been conducted in Western Sweden, that represents varying prerequisites for location of call centres. Environmental conditions such as infrastructure for transportation and communication and assistance by the state and/or EU are observed. Furthermore, the studies focus on what types of functions that are performed at different locations. This paper contributes to the understanding of what types of works that are performed in call centres located to varying geographical environments and to what extent the location of call centres may be used as a tool for regional development.

Famille et automobile dans les travaux de l’École de Chicago. Un chapitre oublié de la recherche sociologique sur la motorisation
Authors: Lannoy Pierre
Published: February 2020

La place de l’automobile dans la transformation et l’accomplissement des mobilités familiales est aujourd’hui l’objet d’un nombre croissant de recherches à caractère sociologique. Le traitement de cette question par la sociologie n’est cependant pas récent, comme le montre notre exploration des travaux produits aux États-Unis par les animateurs de l’École de Chicago entre 1915 et 1945. Centré, d’un point de vue conceptuel, autour de la notion de mobilité et fondé, d’un point de vue méthodologique, sur l’enquête empirique, le paradigme écologique développé à Chicago va donner lieu à une interprétation cohérente et instructive du processus de motorisation des pratiques familiales. Passant en revue les principales notions définissant ce paradigme, nous montrons que même si le phénomène automobile resta un sujet d’analyse marginal pour les sociologues de Chicago, il n’en ressort pas moins de leurs travaux un cadre interprétatif heuristique et complexe susceptible d’éclairer la recherche actuelle sur la famille motorisée.
Les pratiques de mobilité des mères en Île-de-France
Authors: Prédali Frédérique
Published: February 2020

On se propose ici d’étudier l’incidence des rôles sociaux sur les comportements de mobilité, en particulier auprès des mères de famille. Leurs emplois du temps sont en effet nettement distincts de ceux des pères, tant dans la nature des activités réalisées au cours d’une journée que dans les horaires et le temps qui leur est consacré. Cette distinction se répercute sur les pratiques de mobilité pères/mères : motifs, chaînage des déplacements, modes de transport utilisés, périmètre de déplacements, etc. Les mères passant moins de temps à l’extérieur, elles réduisent la portée de leurs déplacements, davantage sous les contraintes temporelles et les nombreuses activités à réaliser que faute d’accès aux modes motorisés.
Apprendre à conduire, apprendre à se conduire : un objectif familial de la mobilité au quotidien
Authors: Pervanchon Maryse
Published: February 2020

Learning to drive, learning to behave : a family goal of the daily mobility. — In

the actual state of evolution of our mobility, we cannot neglect to analyse the role of the car. The real and symbolic function of the “connect” that it does, so much outside than inside the car, serves of course to organize our trips, that is to say to master time and space. But puttmg in our hands a mean to control the distances by modulating the individual speed also means to give us a right to act upon the symbolic function of the distance and therefore upon the organization of our social relationship and our society. In that way, the system of "accompanied driving”, in place in France since 1989 for the youngers aged 16 and more, offers some time and space for social interaction between family generations and became a mode and a way of negotiating the relatiorial dependence between parents and teenagers, accomplishing a part of daily imperatives of family mobility.
Quelles sont les conditions de succès pour l’offre de services de télécommunications ?
Authors: Lefebvre Olivier
Published: February 2020

This paper discusses the function and regulation of Europe’s telecommunications sector from a theoretical perspective. Regulators need to reconcile two elements of telecommunications operations, innovation and competition. The regulation decision-making network is based upon four axes of intervention : power, innovation, competition, and consumption. In this context the regulator must act, sometimes supporting competition and other times innovation. The tension for decision making is analyzed using examples, followed by discussion and policy recommendations.

O presente artigo, de cunho exploratório, analisa a estruturação do subcampo formado pelos grupos de pesquisa em Esporte e Lazer cadastrados no Diretório de Grupos de Pesquisa no Brasil (DGP), em busca realizada no último dia do ano de 2016. Buscou-se examinar como os grupos são formados, onde estão localizados, os periódicos em que ocorrem suas produções e a vinculação dos líderes em programas de Pós-Graduação. Para tal, efetuou-se uma análise a partir das informações quantitativas fornecidas pelo DGP e currículos Lattes dos referidos líderes, subsidiados pela teoria dos campos do sociólogo Pierre Bourdieu. Conclui-se que os Grupos de Pesquisa em esporte e lazer apresentam íntima relação com a área da Educação Física, e estão distribuídos por todo o Brasil. Entretanto, a inexistência de uma cadeia de interdependência entre estes prejudica a compreensão mais precisa de como tem se desenvolvido o esporte e lazer no Brasil.

Thermochemical energy storage is one of the process which is capable of both short term and long term energy storage. Incorporating this storage method with solar energy is important when we considering seasonal or long term thermal energy storage. Thermochemical energy storage uses chemical reactions to store and release the energy. The charging or storage temperature of the thermochemical material (TCM), porosity of the reactor bed, concentration of reactants etc. are some of the important factors which affects the storage and release of the energy of a TCM. In this work we investigate the energy release from MgSO4 by modelling the hydration reaction of MgSO4 in a packed bed reactor with continuous flow of moist air through the bed. It is observed that the parameters such as porosity of the reactor bed, mass flow rate of moist air, particle diameter, concentration of water vapour etc. play an important role on the energy release from the TCM. Thaguchi method is used to optimize these parameters. The porosity of the reactor bed and the particle size of the TCM are found to be crucial in energy release.

WWE Pay per view events features championship or title matches where WWE branded and coveted titles are hotly contested. This paper presents the analysis of the frequency of winnings in WWE PPV events from the year January 2000 to February 2019. Some definite criteria were applied to the raw data to ensure that the outcome was either a champion win or lose. Champions of any official titles of the WWE have retained their titles in 664 (63.78%) occasions of the PPV events, while new champions have emerged on 377 (36.22%) occasions. It was also observed that it is only in 14 (5.3%) that any of 266 PPV events were shown without at least a champion win while 59 (22.2%) of the PPV events have been shown without witnessing at least a champion lose. In conclusion, it appears that PPV events often favored the reigning champions and the probability of champions losing their titles and new champions emerging is small.

A MANETs (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) is a prearranged form of cellular nodes besides any infrastructure. The finest route determination in MANETs is a difficult task to progress the routing performance. A multipath strategies and link based resource optimized routing (MSR-OR) method is proposed to choose the best route for proficient data packet communication in MANETs. The MSR-OR Technique is used Selective Re-transmission method to minimize high channel contention causing redundant a RREQ through combining both neighbor coverage and selective methods. The Selective Re-transmission method reduces the number of retransmissions and therefore optimizes resource utilization for data transmission, which in resulting improved packet delivery ratio with lower energy utilization. The functioning of MSR-OR Technique is deliberate as far as energy utilization, end to end delay (E-E-D), packet delivery ratio, and network lifetime (NLT). The simulation result shows that the MSR-OR Technique is improves the packet delivery ratio with minimum NLT for data transmission.

Countries across the world differ in terms of macro-environmental factors. These differences reflect in their performance as well as growth and development. Most efficient countries have some common characteristics that make them distinct as compared to less efficient countries. Every year World Bank ranks countries on Ease of doing business Index. The present paper is an attempt to see if like other macro environmental factors (per capita income corruption etc.), there is any pattern in culture/social dimensions as well in two different groups of countries, i.e. countries which are ranked high and those which are ranked low on Ease of Doing Business Index. The data is taken from World Bank’s website. Top and bottom ranking countries were analyzed as two separate groups on two different parameters from Hofstede’s cultural dimension framework, viz., Individualistic vs. Collectivist and Power Distance.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are at risk to cyber attacks and thus security is of vital concern. WSN is a soft target for worm attacks due to fragile defence mechanism in the network . A single unsecured node can essentially propogate the worm in the complete network via communication. Mathematical epidemic models are useful in the study of propagation of worms in WSNs. This work considers a fractional order discrete model of attacking and spreading dynamics of worms in WSNs of the form The proposed epidemic model is probed with the assistance of stability theory. Basic reproduction number (R0)is determined for the analysis of the dynamics of worm propagation in WSNs. The equilibrium states are computed and analyzed the stability. Basic reproduction number R0 enables to discover the threshold values for communication radius and node density distribution. If reproduction number is less than one, the worm free equilibrium state (WFE) is locally asymptotically stable (LAS) and if reproduction number is more than one then the endemic equilibrium state (EE) is asymptotically stable. Numerical illustrations affirm the consistency of the theoretical analysis and stimulating dynamical behavior of the system is observed.

The password system is the most conventional method among validation techniques on the internet and is operated more easily and effectively than other methods. However, it is a vulnerable method against attacks such as eavesdropping or replay attack. To prevail over this problem, OTP (One Time Password) technique is used. The most popular OTP is HOTP algorithm, which is based on one-way hash function SHA-1. The recent researches show the weakness of the hash function. So, in this paper we created a module which uses another cryptographic algorithm. Cryptography in the current world serves an important role in data security. Cryptography means writing of secret codes (cipher text) which is in an unintelligible form and cannot be read unless we have a perfect key to decode it. The proposed method is AES algorithm (128 bit) followed by Middle Square method to generate an OTP. As OTP is a 4-6 bit number we will decrease the AES output to a 4-6 bit through Middle Square method and this OTP can be used as a security tool in many cases like online transaction purposes.
