- Abstract
-
In this study, the Brief Population Books (İcmal Nüfus) of Burdur and surrounding districts in the Ottoman Archive belonging to 1834 was used. Due to the nature of the population registers, only the male population is included in the book, where the child (sabi), adult (tüvana) and elderly (musin) populations of the districts of Burdur, Kemer, Gölhisar, Karaağaç, İrle and Yavice, Siroz and Tefenni are included on the basis of villages and farms. The distribution of the population was evaluated by transferring the information in the book to tables and maps. It is seen that Karaağaç, Gölhisar and Burdur are in the first three rankings in terms of age structure of the population. It has been determined that there is a ranking as Karaağaç (2407 people), Gölhisar (905 people), Burdur (715 people) in the elderly (musin) population, moreover; the ranking in the adult (tüvana) population as Karaağaç (4013 people), Gölhisar (1740 people), Burdur (1364 people); lastly the ranking in the child (sabi) population as Karaağaç (2595 people), Gölhisar (1373 people), Burdur (1133 people). The estimated total population of Burdur and surrounding districts is 47601. The district with the highest population in this study area is Karaağaç and there are 453 people per settlement, while the district with the lowest population is Kemer with 129 people per settlement.

- Abstract

The Juan Fernández Archipelago is located in the Pacific Ocean west of Chile at 33° S latitude. Robinson Crusoe Island is 667 km from the continent and approximately four million years old; Alejandro Selkirk Island is an additional 181 km west and only one million years old. The natural impacts of subsidence and erosion have shaped the landscapes of these islands, resulting in progressive changes to their subtropical vegetation. The older island has undergone more substantial changes, due to both natural causes and human impacts. After the discovery of Robinson Crusoe Island in 1574, people began cutting down forests for lumber to construct boats and homes, for firewood, and to make room for pastures. Domesticated plants and animals were introduced, some of which have since become feral or invasive, causing damage to the local vegetation. The wealth of historical records on these activities provides a detailed chronicle of how human beings use their environment for survival in a new ecosystem. This book offers an excellent case study on the impacts that people can have on the resources of an oceanic island.

HISTORICAL geography, LANDSCAPE changes, HISTORICAL source material, and OTTOMAN Empire
- Abstract
-
Late Ottoman Empire and Mandate Palestine are two important periods preceding independent Israel, characterized by increased attention to Palestine along with modernization processes and substantial landscape changes. Significant increase is also noted in survey and mapping, resulting in a wealth of visual sources. However, while textual sources were used intensively in various studies, the latter were analyzed to a much lesser extent. A major discipline based on the study of visual sources is historical geography. However, lately it seems that historical geography worldwide seeks for new approaches while struggling to retain dominancy in an environment becoming more computerized and technological. In this article I review the opportunities, pitfalls, and challenges of incorporating GIScience into the historical geography of late Ottoman and Mandate Palestine. Accordingly, it is suggested that a proper integration will contribute a substantial theoretical and methodological novelty while boosting the discipline of historical geography as well as other social sciences and humanities disciplines.

La provincia de Almería presenta unas características climatológicas, geomorfológicas e hidrológicas extraordinarias. La aridez junto con las lluvias torrenciales, en unión a la orografía hace que las ramblas, ríos efímeros, se inunden de agua repentinamente, pudiendo ocasionar daños personales y económicos muy cuantiosos. Este estudio se centra en cuatro cuencas del sureste de la Península Ibérica, las cuencas de los ríos Almanzora, Andarax, Antas y Aguas. El objetivo principal de esta tesis doctoral es crear las series de datos de inundaciones históricas de los ríos en cuestión, a partir de fuentes históricas. Una vez tenidos las descripciones de las riadas históricas, se clasifican según su orden de magnitud, a partir de una tabla de indicadores de daños. Por otra parte, se ha realizado un análisis de frecuencias de inundaciones para el río Almanzora, donde se muestra que las inundaciones más catastróficas pueden ocurrir con periodo de retorno de 100 años. El análisis de la inundación de 2012 en la cuenca del río Antas también ha sido objeto de estudio, así como, el análisis y caracterización de la evolución de los usos del suelo y los cambios en la morfología fluvial del tramo medio-bajo del río Antas a lo largo de los últimos 60 años. La línea de trabajo se define como la obtención de las series de inundaciones históricas; el cálculo de la frecuencia de éstas; la caracterización de uno de los eventos catastróficos; y contextualizar las características hidrológicas, climatológicas, geomorfológicas y de usos del suelo del área de estudio. Las series de inundaciones históricas de los ríos Andarax y Almanzora, prolongan la serie hasta el 1500 AD. Por otra parte, los ríos Antas y Aguas, de menor superficie, tienen una serie de inundaciones históricas desde 1750 AD. La frecuencia de las inundaciones se ve sesgada por la falta de información sobre inundaciones de baja intensidad en los primeros siglos de la serie. A mediados del Siglo XIX es cuando se han registrado un número más elevado de inundaciones de baja intensidad. Sin embargo, las inundaciones de alta intensidad y baja frecuencia, se han registrado desde que se tienen registros documentales. Ocurre lo mismo en la cuenca del río Andarax. En cambio, en las series de los ríos Antas y Aguas, se empiezan a registrar riadas cuando aparecen las primeras fuentes secundarias como periódicos locales. A partir de la aplicación del método de pooling distribution se ha podido estimar los caudales de las inundaciones históricas del río Almanzora. La calibración de las magnitudes de inundaciones sobre un periodo de referencia (1962-2018) se ha llevado a cabo extrapolando los datos instrumentales correspondientes a la Estación de Aforo de Sta. Bárbara (1962-2018). Se han estimado los valores medios de las inundaciones históricas según su magnitud. De este modo, las inundaciones de magnitudes bajas (M1 y M2) se estiman los caudales en 138 y 1.300 m3s-1, mientras que las inundaciones de magnitudes altas (M3 y MPD), 3.600 y 5.600 m3s-1. Con los datos de caudales estimados se ha calculado el periodo de retorno utilizando la pooling distribution, de este modo se ha llegado a tener unos periodos de retorno de T=1, 5, 50, 100 años. La inundación de 2012 fue extraordinaria, causando numerosos daños en las cuencas bajas de los ríos Antas y Aguas. De este modo, los más de 200 mm. que precipitaron en poco más de 6 horas en algunas partes del área de estudio provocaron un caudal entre 2.800 y 3.200 m3s-1 en la desembocadura del río Antas. Se ha reconstruido pues, a partir de estos caudales el área inundada en el tramo final del río Antas. Los resultados concuerdan aproximadamente con la cartografía realizada a partir de trabajo de campo y medición de alturas de aguas por las imágenes que se han encontrado en la red. Un factor clave a la hora de entender la hidrología del área de estudio son los usos de suelo. Éstos han cambiado de forma fundamental en los últimos 30-40 años. El uso tradicional de riego, a partir de acequias utilizando el agua que lleva el río, se ha transformado en un regadío intensivo con maquinaria pesada. Además, la extrema urbanización en las zonas costeras, en muchas ocasiones en zonas inundables, ha hecho que haya aumentado la peligrosidad de las inundaciones y la vulnerabilidad de los habitantes a este riesgo natural.

HISTORICAL geography, CENSUS, SPACETIME, PRAIRIES, SPACE, and UNITED States census
- Abstract
-
Studies that investigated the rate of settlement in the Canadian prairies used decennial census or provincial census records to estimate the flow of population into the area. I use, instead, detailed data from individual land offices across western Canada. What the analysis shows is that dividing the land into small plots does not mean that the allocation of land was successful or more democratic, as several studies claim. The HGIS analysis helped to estimate the area of influence of each land office and thus to evaluate with more precision the dynamics of prairie settlement. By incorporating georeferenced data into the study of the region, I provide a new toolset to study a changing geography in time and space. The importance of this method resides in the fact that even though several works performed micro-studies of small communities or areas, nobody has yet produced a complete record of the region. I provide another methodology for a more comprehensive estimate of the production of space in western Canada. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HISTORICAL geography, POLITICAL debates, HISTORICAL analysis, GEOGRAPHERS, FORUMS, and HUMAN geography
- Abstract
-
While many human geographers maintain a long-standing interest in historical analysis, we believe that there is a need to more explicitly examine the theories, methods, and, ultimately, the stakes of such work. For this forum, we invited five geographers to reflect on their own approach to historical analysis and its implications for scholarly and political debates in the present. These commentaries suggest that, at its best, historical analysis is not just about the past; it is also crucial for critical human geographers' efforts to understand, and intervene in, the present. Thus, we argue for a rejuvenation and extension of approaches to historical-geographical scholarship which are inspired by direct engagement with problems in the present and intend to do something about them.

- Abstract
-
While the Saint‐Laurent river is considered to be the cradle of Québécois society, many other great rivers are found across the province—other cradles of civilizations, indigenous to the continent, notably the Chisasibi and the Manicouagan. These rivers played a key role in the Québécois movement of affirmation and modernization in the twentieth century. They are valued by many people in Quebec for their hydroelectric output rather than for their cultural richness and significance for the Eeyou (Cree) and Innu Nations. Since the 1990s, I have been able to study Quebec's historical geography from the standpoint of these rivers thanks to the expertise of Eeyou and Innu knowledge holders. Using the concept of decolonization as a practice, I explore how this has impacted both my work as a geographer and my cultural identity as a Québécois woman. Key Messages: In settler societies, "appreciating difference" calls for a reframing of history and geography.Indigenous territorialization of Quebec via Northern watersheds and river networks challenges Québécois nationalist history, especially as it pertains to the Quiet Revolution.As a discipline focused on place and socio‐spatial dynamics, geography offers a relational model to "practice" decolonization.

HISTORY of geography, HISTORICAL geography, LINGUISTICS, WORLD War I, and FOREIGN language education
- Abstract
-
Linguistic geography has been considered a part, if not a sub‐discipline, of linguistics rather than geography. This was not always the case. In the late 19th century geography was integral to linguistic science through the practice of language surveying and production of linguistic maps and atlases. By the early 20th century language became a geopolitical concern in Europe during and after the First World War. This paper argues that historical geography can make an important intervention in recovering the entwined yet forgotten histories of linguistics and geography and explain the roots of geography's indifference to linguistic study which has, among many issues, contributed to the marginalisation of other languages in favour of English. This paper traces the history of geography's association with language as a consequence of empire, colonialism and nationalism and considers the reasons for their divergence and why geography continues to have a significant role in linguistics but not vice‐versa. This paper concludes by reflecting on what historical geography brings to linguistic geography and how it can write about a significant, yet often forgotten, geographical tradition.

De nombreuses grandes villes dépendent de ressources en eau éloignées pour leur alimentation en eau potable. Les projets de transfert d’eau vers les centres urbains ont pu être contestés dans le passé et constituent encore aujourd’hui un enjeu socio-politique. La moitié du volume d’eau potable distribué dans Paris provient d’eaux souterraines captées dans le bassin de la Seine depuis la fin du XIXe siècle. Cet article examine les oppositions au projet de dérivation des sources de la Voulzie (Seine-et-Marne) entre 1885 et 1929. Il étudie les discours de la presse écrite dans une démarche de géographie historique. La méthode repose sur l’analyse du contenu de 367 articles de presse. Dans un premier temps, elle met en évidence les modalités de la médiatisation du projet d’adduction d’eau. Dans un second temps, elle permet d’identifier les acteurs et les caractéristiques des discours opposés à la dérivation des sources. Les résultats soulignent l’importance des rapports de force politiques et des clivages géographiques. Ils montrent que les contestations ne ciblaient pas uniquement les impacts économiques ou paysagers des dérivations d’eau. Elles remettaient en cause l’ensemble du système d’alimentation en eau de la ville. L’article propose une nouvelle approche de l’histoire de l’alimentation en eau de Paris en donnant une plus grande place aux territoires d’approvisionnement. En outre, il éclaire les fondements historiques des discours actuels sur les dérivations d’eau.
Many large cities rely on remote water resources for their drinking water supply. Projects to transfer water to urban centers have been contested in the past and are still a socio-political issue today. Half of the volume of drinking water distributed in Paris comes from groundwater collected in the Seine watershed since the end of the 19th century. This paper examines the oppositions to the project to divert the Voulzie River springs (department of Seine-et-Marne) between 1885 and 1929. It studies the discourses of the print media using a historical geography approach. The method is based on the content analysis of 367 press articles. First, it highlights the modalities of the media coverage of the water supply project. Then, it enables the identification of the actors and the characteristics of the discourses opposed to the diversion of springs. The results underline the importance of political power relations and geographical divides. They show that the protests did not focus solely on the economic or landscape impacts of water diversions. They called into question the city’s entire water supply system. This article proposes a new approach to the history of Paris’ water supply by giving greater importance to the territories on which water is collected. Furthermore, it sheds light on the historical underpinnings of current discourses on water diversions.
Numerosas ciudades de gran tamaño dependen de un curso de agua distante para abastecer su suministro de agua potable. Los proyectos para el transporte de esta hacia los centros urbanos, han sido cuestionados tanto en el pasado como el presente, constituyéndose en una problemática sociopolítica. La mitad del volumen de agua potable distribuida en París proviene de las aguas subterráneas captadas de la cuenca del Sena desde finales del siglo XIX. Este artículo analiza desde la geografía histórica, las oposiciones al proyecto de desvío del cauce Voulzie (Seine-et-Marne) entre 1885 y 1929 a partir del discurso de la prensa escrita. El método se sostiene sobre un análisis de contenido de 367 artículos de la prensa. En un primer momento, destaca las modalidades de la cobertura mediática del proyecto de abastecimiento de agua. Posteriormente, identifica a los actores y caracteriza sus discursos opuestos en cuanto a la intervención del curso de agua. Los resultados destacan la importancia de las relaciones de poder en las fuerzas políticas y divisiones geográficas. Además, expresan que los desafíos no solo se enfocaron en impactos económicos o paisajísticos de las desviaciones del cauce, sino que también pusieron en tela de juicio al conjunto del sistema de abastecimiento de agua de la ciudad. El artículo propone un nuevo enfoque de la historia del suministro de agua en París al entregar una importancia a los territorios de suministro y aclara los fundamentos históricos de los actuales discursos sobre desvíos de cauces.

Nos recentes trabalhos de Geografia Histórica, principalmente da produção brasileira, há uma recorrente crítica ao que Abreu (2000:15) chamou de uma “ditadura do presente”, uma lei na qual a Geografia estaria fadada a estudar o tempo atual, e deixar o passado para os domínios da História. Com o intuito de contribuir para as discussões sobre a produção da Geografia do tempo pretérito, este artigo é uma análise dos trabalhos apontados como “legisladores” de tal regra temporal, procurando ver como se construíram essas críticas ao estudo do passado pela Geografia. Chegou-se na conclusão de que, antes vedar a possibilidade de estudo do passado, esses geógrafos eram contrários a obrigatoriedade de tal pesquisa por geógrafos, e criticavam como o passado era estudado, preocupados com o historicismo, a independência explicativa da Geografia e a consolidação da mesma como ciência moderna
Dans les travaux récents de géographie historique, en particulier en la production brésilienne, il y a une critique récurrente de ce que Abreu (2000: 15) a appelé une «dictature du présent», une loi dans laquelle la Géographie devait obligatoirement étudier le temps présent et laisser le passé aux royaumes de l'Histoire. Afin de contribuer aux discussions sur la production de la géographie du passé, cet article est une analyse des travaux identifiés comme "législateurs" d'une telle règle temporelle, cherchant à voir comment ces critiques de l'étude du passé par la Géographie ont été construites. Il est parvenu à la conclusion qu'avant d'interdire la possibilité d'étudier le passé, ces auteurs étaient contre le caractère obligatoire de telles recherches pour les géographes et ont critiqué la façon dont le passé était étudié, soucieux avec l'historicisme, l'indépendance explicative de la géographie et sa consolidation en tant que science moderne.
In recent works of Historical Geography, especially in Brazilian production, there is a recurring criticism of what Abreu (2000: 15) called a “present’s dictatorship”, a law in which Geography was bound to study the present time, and leave the past to be History’s domains. In order to contribute to the Historical Geography field’s discussions, this article is an analysis of the works identified as "legislators" of such a temporal rule, trying to see how these critiques of geography's study of the past were constructed. Our conclusion is that, before prohibiting the possibility of studying the past, these geographers were against the obligatoriness of such research for geographers, and they criticized how the past was studied, concerned with historicism, the explanatory independence of Geography and the consolidation of same as a modern science.

HISTORICAL geography, GEOGRAPHY, PLEASURE, CEMETERIES, SHOES, and SELF-portraits
- Abstract
-
In Nona Faustine's photo series of self-portraits, White Shoes, the artist's body becomes the agent in exposing the instability of racialized historical geography. Faustine revisits New York City's landmarks to address what is missing or made invisible: a slave ship, a fugitive woman's rebirth, or African burial grounds. Making herself visible where she is supposed to remain invisible, she highlights the unacknowledged connection between national wealth, nationalism, geography, and black labor. She discloses the topography of her travels as a changeable terrain, where one slips from the national iconic to ambiguous and finally, to the sacred. I suggest that Faustine doesn't seek to democratize the extant historical maps, but to shift the terms of reading the city's geography. She lifts the boundaries between the polarized pathways of knowing – the secularized and the sacred, the living and the dead, the verifiable and the missing. This shift is also made possible by the medium of photography and a feminist turn towards pleasures in one's body. As Faustine comes to terms with the psychic and cultural inheritance of the diaspora, she moves from the collective body of pain towards black women's pleasure in their own bodies without purging the history of sexual trauma.
