AAG 2008: Call for Papers -- Time Geography -
=====================================
CALL FOR PAPERS
Time Geography: Emerging Theoretical Developments, Implementations, and
Applications
2008 Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers
Boston, Massachusetts
April 15 19, 2008
This session is sponsored by the Transportation Geography Specialty Group (TGSG),
the GIS Specialty Group (GISSG), and the Spatial Analysis and Modeling Specialty
Group (SAM) of AAG
Originally designed to investigate various constraints of human activities in
time and space, the time-geographic framework provides an integrated space-time
environment to effectively and efficiently investigate the spatio-temporal
characteristics of human activities and their interactions. There have been
revived research interests in time geography in recent years. These research
efforts include extending the time-geographic framework to accommodate the
emerging hybrid environment of physical and virtual spaces, providing
computational models and representations of the framework, developing GIS
designs to implement the framework, and applying the framework to facilitate
studies such as travel behaviors, activity patterns, accessibility assessment,
urban structure, animal ecology, etc. This session will provide researchers a
forum to share experiences and exchange ideas on recent theoretical
developments, implementations, and applications of time geography.
Those interested in giving a presentation in this session, please send an
abstract of no more than 250 words, contact information, and the presenters
personal identification number (received from the AAG after online registration
at http://www.aag.org) to one of the session organizers by Monday, October 29,
2007.
