L'urbanisation du monde depuis 1950
Author: François Moriconi-Ebrard
Publisher: FeniXX
ISBN: 2402099097
Category : Political Science
Languages : fr
Pages : 292
Book Description
Avec le XXIe siècle, s’ouvre une ère nouvelle dans l’Histoire du peuplement de la Terre : celle où l’humanité vivra en majorité dans les villes. Fruit d’une longue transformation technique, économique et sociale entamée voici plus de 5 000 ans, l’urbanisation a connu une envolée sans précédent depuis la fin de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Grâce à l’exploitation d’une base de données exhaustive unique retraçant l’évolution de la population de 26 000 agglomérations de plus de 10 000 habitants de 1950 à 1990, cet ouvrage dresse pour la première fois un tableau mondial des gigantesques bouleversements de la période contemporaine. À partir de données rigoureusement harmonisées, cette étude repère des similitudes, des régularités, des processus, conduisant progressivement de l’analyse classique des grands indicateurs classiques de l’urbanisation à l’approche théorique des systèmes des villes.

Models in Spatial Analysis
Author: Lena Sanders
Publisher: Wiley-Iste
ISBN: 9781847045591
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Models in Spatial Analysis gives a broad overview of the different types of models used in advanced spatial analysis. The models concern spatial organization, location factors and spatial interaction patterns from both static and dynamic perspectives.Each individual author comes from a different discipline (geography, economy, hydrology, ecology, etc, ) and is a specialist in the field. They use a range of methods and modeling tools developed in mathematics, statistics, artificial intelligence and physics.Each chapter gives a broad overview of the subject, covering both theoretical developments and practical applications. The advantages of an interdisciplinary approach are illustrated in the way that the viewpoint of each of the individual disciplines are brought together when considering questions relevant to spatial analysis

World Yearbook of Education 2016
Author: Antoni Verger
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317518713
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
This latest volume in the World Yearbook of Education series examines the global education industry both in OECD* countries as well as developing countries, and presents the works of scholars based in different parts of the word who have significantly contributed to this area of research. Focusing on the areas of cross-over in public-private partnerships in education, WYBE 2016 critically examines the actors and factors that have propelled the global rise of the education industry. Split into three key sections, Part I explores how education agendas are shaped; Part II considers the private financing of education and the export of school improvements to professional consultancies; and Part III analyses new market niches, such as low-fee private schooling and for-profit education provisions. The book draws upon case studies of many global organizations, including: The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Pearson Affordable Learning Fund Bridge International Academies Teach for All Omega Schools Co-edited by three internationally renowned scholars, Antoni Verger, Christopher Lubienski and Gita Steiner-Khamsi, WYBE 2016 will be a valuable resource for researchers, graduates and policy makers who are interested in the global education industry. *Convention on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Hierarchy in Natural and Social Sciences
Author: Denise Pumain
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402041276
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Hierarchy is a form of organisation of complex systems that rely on or produce a strong differentiation in capacity (power and size) between the parts of the system. It is frequently observed within the natural living world as well as in social institutions. According to the authors, hierarchy results from random processes, follows an intentional design, or is the result of the organisation which ensures an optimal circulation of energy for information. This book reviews ancient and modern representations and explanations of hierarchies, and compares their relevance in a variety of fields, such as language, societies, cities, and living species. It throws light on concepts and models such as scaling laws, fractals and self-organisation that are fundamental in the dynamics and morphology of complex systems. At a time when networks are celebrated for their efficiency, flexibility and better social acceptance, much can be learned about the persistent universality and adaptability of hierarchies, and from the analogies and differences between biological and social organisation and processes. This book addresses a wide audience of biologists and social scientists, as well as managers and executives in a variety of institutions.
