This paper analyzes Gloria Anzaldua's borderland proposal through her work Borderlands/La Frontera (1987). One of the strong trends of US geographical imagination started from the concept of 'city upon a hill'. It left an important footprint in the American history. In the area of international political history, it was the starting point of the isolationism policy. But, this imagination is contradictory because it has exercised the bordering power that demarcates the border and overpasses it as needed. Anzaldua's geographic proposal consists of transformation of the border into the borderlands. This is a challenge to the bordering power and a challenge to the geographical imagination that has led to isolationism, and ultimately a history war. This is not only a nationalist war aimed at the Chicano's restoration but also a war that can measure the American society's possibility of change in the future.

지리 중심에 대해서 확실하게 정립된 정의와 이에 대한 여러 가지 방식이 존재하기 때문에 연구자들은 지리 중심을 산출하는데 있어 많은 어려움을 겪는다. 또한 지표면은 굴곡이 심하고 다양한 암상으로 구성되어 밀도 분포가 매우 불균질하고 그 경계 또한 불규칙한 굴곡이기 때문에 중심점을 구한다는 것이 매우 어렵다. 따라서 한 지역에 중심의 정의와 산출 방식에 따라서 여러 중심점이 존재 할 수 있는 것이다. 지리중심결정에 대한 유일한 해법은 없으며 어떤 과학자도 단정할 수 있는 방법은 존재하지 않는다. 본 연구의 목적은 지리정보시스템 분석을 통하여 남한내륙의 지리적, 지질학적 중심지를 정확히 밝히고 학술적으로 정립하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 기존 연구된 사료 수집은 물론 자료 처리를 위한 수치 지형도, 수치 지질도 등의 자료 등을 수집하였다. 또한 지질 및 지리정보 시스템 구축을 위한 사전 준비 작업으로 한국에서 적용된 사례 및 외국의 적용 사례를 파악하고 데이터 수집 및 처리 과정을 적용해 보았다. 그리고 지리정보 시스템의 분석 개념을 설명함으로써 이 분석방법이 얼마나 타당한 분석방법인지에 대해서 고찰해보았다. 중심을 구하기 위해 적용된 조건은 지각이 등밀도 평면일 경우와 암상에 따라 불균질한 평면일 경우로 가정하였으며 이에 따른 남한 내륙의 무게중심점 및 기하학적인 중심점은 매우 다양하게 산출되었다. 그 결과 단순 남한내륙의 해안선 경계를 이용한 여러 중심점들은 대체적으로 충청북도 남부의 반경 20km 이내의 버퍼영역에 밀집하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

경기만 지역은 세계최대 규모의 갯벌이 조성되어 해양생태계에서 중요한 역할을 수행하는 자연의 보고이나, 강한 조류운동, 한강 유역으로부터의 토사이동, 그리고 계속되는 연안 개발등 지속적인 영향을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 경기만 지역의 지리적·환경적 요인에 기인한 갯벌지역의 지난 30년 동안 공간적 변화를 분석하고자 한다. 해안선·조간대 지형의 변화 특성은 1972년부터 1999년까지 약 5년 간격으로 촬영된 Landsat MSS 와 TM 영상들을 이용하여 분석하였다. MSS와 TM의 공통적인 파장대이며, 물과 조간대의 경계가 뚜렷한 근적외선 파장대를 이용하여 간조시 갯벌의 경계선을 추출하였다. 각 시기의 수면, 갯벌, 육지를 나타내는 수치지도가 제작된 후, 이들을 중첩함으로써 시기별 변화유형을 구분하였고, 변화유형을 다시 원인에 따라 인공적인 요인과 자연적인 요인으로 나누었다. 의미있는 변화 유형은 크게 8가지로 나타났으며, 변화유형과 변화요인을 연계하여 경기만 지역의 변화특성을 도출하였다.

Establishment of limits and names for oceans and seas is necessary for a safety of navigation. Even if there are no national and international standard for the delimitation of sea boundaries, we can take guidelines for the delimitation of sea boundaries through the analysis of IHO official publications, Limits and Names for Oceans and Sea; S-23. This paper shows the changes of the spatial limit of seas since first edition publication, and the standards for a delimitation of oceans and seas were analyzed using S-23 4th edition draft(2002) in terms of physical geographic features. The generic terms of S-23 include Ocean, Sea, Channel, Passage, Strait, Sound, Gulf, Bay and Bight, and each generic term shows hierarchical structures. Several seas show different characteristics compared with definitions of IHO dictionary. Sea boundaries are delimited by longitude and latitude, cape, river mouth, sandbar, and so on. Undersea features such as a shelf, trench, trough, rise, bank and reef are also important features for delimitation of sea boundary. Especially, seas that are delimited by undersea feature are mainly located Arctic and Southern ocean area in S-23 4th edition. Advanced knowledge of marine science with a technical advance might affect to delimit for sea boundary.

The main objective of the paper is to develop a GIS-based method for delineating spatial clusters. Major tasks are: (i) to devise a sustainable algorithm with reference to various methods developed in the fields of geographic boundary analysis and cluster detection; (ii) to develop a GIS-based program to implement the algorithm. The main results are as follows. First, it is recognized that the AMOEBA technique utilizing LISA is the best candidate. Second, a modified version of the AMOEBA technique is proposed and implemented in a GIS environment. Third, the validity and usefulness of the modified AMOEBA algorithm is assured by its applications to test and real data sets.

The goal of mobile internet system is to provide a high-data-rate, low-latency and optimized packet radio access technology supporting flexible bandwidth deployments. Therefore, network architecture is designed with the goal to support packet-switched traffic with seamless mobility, quality of service and minimal latency. An important requirement for the mobile internet system is improved cell-edge BER performance and data throughput. This is to provide some level of service consistency in terms of geographical coverage as well as in terms of available data throughput within the communication coverage area. In a cellular system, however, the signal to interference plus noise power ratio gap between cell-center and cell-edge users can be of the order of 20 [dB]. The disparity can be even higher in a communication coverage limited cellular system. This leads to vastly lower data throughputs for the cell-edge users relative to cell-center users creating a large QoS gap. This paper proposes a analytical approach that tries to reduce inter-cell interference, and shows the SIR and BER performance according to the OFDM system parameters in mobile Internet environment.

The purpose of this study is to identify the spatial system and characteristics of the urban center by deriving the boundaries of the urban center set in the urban basic plan for Busan Metropolitan City and diagnosing the role and status of the center. To this end, four indicators representing the characteristics of the center were selected through a review of previous studies, and the boundaries of the center were derived using spatial statistical techniques with strengths in geographical boundary analysis. Then, using the indicators of center characteristics and population potential functions, we diagnosed the influence and potential of each center in the spatial structure of Busan Metropolitan City. The analysis showed that the scale of the centers varies greatly, and the unutilized areas where commercial areas are not activated and the expansion areas that spread beyond commercial areas to residential and industrial areas are different for each urban center. The results of the potential measurement, which indicates the attractiveness of the center, also showed areas with strong and weak population potential. Therefore, systematic management and strategies based on the hierarchical characteristics and influence measurement results are needed to strengthen the function of urban centers. The results analyzed in this study can be used as a resource for responding to various urban planning needs and policy changes in the future, along with station area development plans and spatial innovation zones for building a sustainable urban growth system, balanced development, and strengthening the function of centers.

This paper has focused on the geographical patterns of migrations and the influence of housing value(apartment) per pyung on the migrations within the one city(Seoul) for 1995$\sim$2003. The migration flows which are composed of the origin, the destination and the number of migrants, are examined at the administrative gu and dong level. As most migrations occur among adjacent gus and dongs, short-distance migration is prominent But there is a tendency for the short-distance migrations to occur between specific regions. Since the economic crisis of 1997 out of which Korea was rescued by IMF, differentiation of housing price is so evident that residental relocation is selective among dongs. It seems that the differentiation of housing price has begun to facilitate the relocation of households. Certain social groups are excluded from high-quality residences, as they cannot afford the high price. The number of migrants between dongs is closely related to the variation of the housing value per pyung within dongs. The short-distance migration may reflect this phenomena simultaneously. It seems that the intra-urban migrations in Seoul play a important role to produce and reinforce the residential segregation.

The purpose of this study is to consider debates the reorganization of administrative districts and to investigate the role of maps in this debate during the early stage of French Revolution. For this, firstly, we examined the argument of reformers who attempted to change the administration system of the Old Regime. We found that physiocrats proposed map use for their attempt to reform this system. Secondly, we considered the debate on the theme of the new division of the kingdom on the basis of speeches or interventions delivered to the National Assembly. Robert de Hesseln's map, itself influenced by the geometric spirit shown by the map of Cassini, played an crucial role in the utopian ideas of revolutionaries who would divide France in administrative units of equal size geometric grid. Thirdly, the deputies decided the number and boundary of department on the basis of Hennequin's map. The final cut which resulted in very tense negotiations with local leaders was irregular polygons modeled on patterns of economic relations, and elements of relief and historical tradition. Fourthly, new administrative divisions are plotted on the map of Cassini and presented to the National Assembly. And it was declared as a new administrative division of France.

Genetic variations of Abies koreana and Abies nephrolepis were assessed using two mitochondrial DNA regions (nad5 intron 4 and nad5 intron 1) for 16 natural populations to understand their phylogeographical history. Seven polymorphic sites of the two combined regions resulted in the resolution of four haplotypes (M1-M4). The average gene diversity within the population ($H_S$) was 0.098, the total gene diversity ($H_T$) was 0.620, and the interpopulation differentiation was $G_{ST}=0.841$, $N_{ST}=0.849$. The populations were divided into three groups (northern area, central area, southern area) according to their geographic locations. The populations of the northern and southern areas were mostly fixed for M1 and M2, respectively. The populations of the central area showed the highest levels of gene diversity ($H_T=0.654$) due to introgression from the northern area and southern area. The presence of a single mtDNA haplotype in the southern area suggests that current widespread populations have expanded to the central area from a specific refugium population after the last glacial period.
