In fluvial geomorphology, it entails efforts to relate local landforms to their landscape context, generating place-based understandings that can be related to theoretical principles about diversity of forms, formative processes, patterns/configurations of features, and evolutionary adjustments.
These findings indicate that place-based understandings which consider the spatial and historical contexts of landscape settings are required to interpret patterns of channel geometry, and to inform river rehabilitation initiatives.
We thus provide both a place-based and general understanding of value-driven anthropogenic environmental change and response.
Developing effective place-based health interventions requires understanding of the dynamic between place and health.
Given the concern expressed for failures to understand local context and implement HFA at the local scale, the observed shift in language from the Yokohama Strategy to SFDRR, as well as a failure to direct future funding and efforts to understanding place-based vulnerability, raises significant concerns regarding the future management of disaster risks.
These results support the notion that a place-based context is important for understanding community vulnerability to volcano hazards (Jones and Andrey 2007).
This paper is concerned with lay understandings of place-based health inequalities.
A multitude of place-based factors have been implicated in understanding patterns of alcohol consumption including the local availability of alcohol retailing.
Understanding that communicating the value of green schools, community schools and place-based education would be a primary task in achieving enthusiasm for those approaches, three seminar members created communications projects.
Through discussion and an evaluation of general and place-based policies and practices for resource-based cities, this paper aims to enhance the understanding of shrinking cities in China and shed light on the policy-making of economic development for other resource-based cities in developing countries.
Long-term, DNA-centric, place-based work will go far beyond the sequencing of independent (unrelated, allopatric) genomes, to understanding the complete set of interactions of living organisms in a particular environment (ecosystem).
