Step 2: to represent and to explore herds' movements and the changes in the vegetation cover2.3.3.3. Step 3: to analyze the relationship between the intensity of animal frequentation and the change in vegetation cover; 2.3.3.4. Step 4: to identify the processes linking animal behaviors and the change in the vegetation cover; 2.3.4.1. Step 1: construction of the objects and their properties from a multilevel perspective2.3.4.2. Step 2: representing and exploring the pupils' choices of school and the consequences of these choices on the social composition of schools and their evolution Spatio-temporal Approaches presents a well-built set of concepts, methods and approaches, in order to represent and understand the evolution of social and environmental phenomena within the space. It is basedon examples in human geography and archeology (which will enable us to explore questions regarding various temporalities) and tackles social and environmental phenomena. Chapter 1 discusses how to apprehend change: objects, attributes, relations, processes.Chapter 2 introduces multiple points of view about modeling and the authors try to shed a new light on the different, but complementarFocus GIS and territorial intelligence series.Spatial analysis (Statistics)Spatial analysis (Statistics)910.727Mathian Hélène874198Sanders LénaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910132339103321Spatio-temporal approaches1951900UNINA
