Immigration from Europe has decreased, and that from Central and South America and Asia has increased. The 1965 Act removed previous restrictions on immigration from Asian countries. As a result, the proportion of immigrants from Asia has increased dramatically. The objective of this article is to examine the spatial patterns of relative flow of Asian immigrants to the United States. An immigration index, expressing the rate of immigration from a selected Asian country, relative to the all-Asian rate of immigration, is calculated and mapped to identify source countries of over- and under-representation. The study found that the volume of flow originated from 18 of the 29 selected countries of Asia is more or less consistent with the overall immigration rate of the continent. The remaining 11 countries sent a relatively smaller number of immigrants. This finding has important policy implications for the government agencies concerned with U.S. immigration policies. © 1997 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.</p>","PeriodicalId":100107,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geographic Studies","volume":"1 3","pages":"215-230"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87042990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three elements play essentially a central role in the analysis: (1) the company and its innovative behavior, (2) the local production environment, and (3) knowledge networks. Uncertainty and uncertainty reduction appear to have a strong influence on the interplay between these elements, in such a way that different innovative strategies may arise, for example, product and process innovation. In the article a comprehensive score that represents the significance of the local production environment for both product and process innovation will be proposed and explored for various cities in the countries concerned. In a comparison between the manufacturing and the service sector in the Netherlands, the local production environment appeared to have more influence on product innovation than on process innovation. Besides, the manufacturing sector appeared to perceive its environment as being relatively less important, whereas the service sector clearly has a different view. Because of the need for uncertainty reduction, local (knowledge) networks—in particular, links with local universities and colleges—turn out to be increasingly important. From our empirical results, we conclude that companies that maintain strong knowledge relationships tend to value their local environment higher than companies without such links. © 1997 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.</p>","PeriodicalId":100107,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geographic Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"13-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/(SICI)1520-6319(199721)1:1<13::AID-AGS3>3.0.CO;2-Y","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90633501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Projections of future water demand indicate that ground-water supplies in the El Paso–Juarez Valley may not be sustainable beyond the year 2030. A steady-state, three-layer model of the Hueco bolson aquifer underlying the El Paso–Juarez Valley was developed to characterize vertical leakage, an indicator of ground-water extraction impacts in the study area. Based on the conceptualization of aquifer dynamics as a spatial process, a geographic information system was implemented to map and process hydrologic and geologic variables, thus allowing the calculation of the spatial pattern of vertical leakage in the Hueco bolson aquifer and how it changed in the period between 1956 and 1995.

Despite some regulatory guidelines from the Supreme Court, SOB owners, neighborhoods, business groups, and municipalities are engaged in an almost continuous battle over where such establishments should be allowed to locate. This study begins with an analysis of the legal and social context within which the SOB industry has emerged and then focuses on a case study of SOB location in Dallas, Texas. The case study examines the recent growth of SOBs in Dallas, Texas, the evolution of zoning strategies to regulate the industry, and the relationship between SOBs and the incidence of crime. The results suggest that current zoning strategies have not been successful at controlling SOB location in the past for two major reasons. First, the ability of SOB owners to either challenge successfully the existing law or to find loopholes in the law has limited the effectiveness of current regulations and, second, the constitutionally protected nature of some forms of adult entertainment makes locationally based strategies for their control marginal at best. In addition, the study finds that the covariation of arrest rates and SOB location is weak generally, although the incidence of prostitution and indecent exposure tend to be higher in areas where SOBs are concentrated. © 1999 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.</p>","PeriodicalId":100107,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geographic Studies","volume":"3 1","pages":"23-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74134082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
