On one of my last days in Guanajuato, I visit the botanical garden and nature reserve, El Charco Ingenio, outside San Miguel de Allende. Driving from Ciudad Guanajuato, I climb up from the city (2,000 meters), through the mountains, rising up into the woodlands of pine and live oak (2,500 meters). This is likely the route Sessé and Mociño followed as they searched these mountains for plants they had not yet collected. The scent of pines is strong and sweet, the road narrow and twisting. I catch glimpses of the rocky soils of eroding lava cores until, once through the high pass, the terrain slowly morphs into savanna plains starting back around 2,000 meters. My colleague, geographer Karl Butzer, described this terrain as “Rough hill country and uplands, normally formed by ignimbrites tuffs with duricrusts, or lavas, appears to have had a medley of vegetation types, with scattered woodlands of mesquite or acacia, probably open” (1997, 162). Along the way, the car radio crackles with ...

Purpose. To give an objective assessment of the current ecological condition of artificially created objects of the nature reserve fund. Methods. Comparative-geographical, generalization, systematization, statistical, comparative-analytical, descriptive, cartographic. Results. Not all types of artificial objects of nature reserve fund of Volyn region are represented. There are 12 park-monuments of landscape art, 1 botanical garden, 1 zoo and no dendrological park. On the whole, the number of artificial objects of nature reserved fund in the region is the lowest in Ukraine. On the territory of the region there is an uneven distribution of artificial objects of the nature reserve fund. An analysis of the distribution of artificial objects of nature reserve fund by area revealed that the largest one is the park-monument of landscape art «Slovianskyy» (27,35 hectares). It is located in the Volodymyr-Volynskyy district. From 12 to 21,6 hectares of landscapes in Lutsk, Gorokhiv, Turiysk, Lyubeshiv and Kivertsy districts is occupied by the park- monuments of landscape art. In the Starovyzhivsky district, the area of park-monuments of landscape art is 2 hectares, while in other districts there are no areas for artificial objects of nature reserve fund. All artificial objects of nature reserve fund were created in 1960-1990. Only one park-monuments of landscape art was created in 2018. It is called «Sydorukiv Park» and is located in the city of Horokhiv. Most of the park-monuments of landscape art are located within settlements and only 2 parks are located in the territory of forestry. In total, more than 150 species of flora are protected in the territory of park-monuments of landscape art. Conclusion. As a result of the analysis, 3 species of flora were identified that grow on the territory of parks of monuments of landscape gardening art and are included in environmental lists (Epipactis helleborine, Syringa josikaea, Epipactis palustris). The most dangerous for them is tearing, digging, picking up bouquets, as well as a partial violation of the structure of ecotopes (deforestation, excessive recreation, etc.). It is proposed to strengthen the protection of these species by increasing the status of the nature conservation object and assigning them to the territories of the nature reserve fund - botanical nature reserve of local importance.

This chapter explores the drivers’ role in knitting together Bangkok’s territory, its daily activities, and its dwellers. It analyzes their everyday life as urban infrastructure and as producers of the channels through which the city circulates. This position requires the drivers to adjust and synchronize to the multiple rhythms of nature, urban capitalism, and city life. Bangkok is the product not only of epochal processes of construction, destruction, and layering but also of continuous assembling and reassembling through the actions of a variety of networks and actors. The drivers are pivotal to this everyday production and, as they weave the city together, they strive to move their own lives along the channels they create. Sometimes they succeed and set their own futures in motion. At other times they do not, and they find themselves stuck and exhausted at the side of the road, ready for their last ride all the way back to small, cramped rooms in the urban periphery.

In the first number of Greece and Rome Mr. Symonds reminded us that the bearing of art and archaeology on literature can be studied by visits to sites and museums, and suggested that ‘even a holiday expedition to the Roman Wall is not beyond the bounds of ambition’. Indeed, once Newcastle or Carlisle is reached the motor-car has made a trip to the Wall a simple matter. A cursory visit starting from Newcastle takes but a few hours. A twenty-mile drive over the West Turnpike, Wade's Road as it is popularly called, along the line of the Wall with the earthworks visible for most of the way and a fragment of the Wall itself to be seen not far from the city boundary, brings us to Chesters. Here is the camp, or more properly fort, of Cilurnum, the fort baths, the bridge abutment, and the museum. After Chesters we travel a further ten miles. A substantial length of the Wall is soon seen on the right, while the earthworks line both sides of the road for most of the way, and at Limestone Bank are cut through solid rock. Then with less than half a mile's walk across the fields we come to Housesteads. Here we can see the fort of Borcovicium (or Borcovicus), and then walk a few hundred yards to the west to see a milecastle and get the well-known view of the Wall at Cuddy's Crag. If the start is from Carlisle the mileage is more, Housesteads being about half-way to Newcastle but Chesters ten miles farther east. If we come from the south by road we may leave the North Road at Durham and travelling by Lanchester, Consett, and Corbridge (Corstopitum), join the West Turnpike at Portgate where the Roman Road of the first of the Antonine Itineraries passed through the Wall on its way to the Cheviots and Scotland: or we may turn off earlier and make for Teesdale and Alston, to join the West Turnpike three miles north of Haltwhistle.

One of the steps that taken by the Government of Tarakan City in supporting the development of the city is by the way of developing transportation of infrastructure in the form of a road network that aims to provide accessibility, for making it easier for people to do the movement. This study aims to find out the sale value of land for connection with the accessibility of the road and to know the accessibility factor of the road that has the most influence on the sale value of land in the city of Tarakan. Sampling was conducted on three streets namely, Yos Sudarso road, Mulawarman road, and Sudirman road as the location of this research. From the data that obtained were analyzed by using statistical analysis that using by multiple regression. For this analysis shows that the results of 70.6% of the variable sale value of land can be explained by the intensity variable of city transportation. The most influential accessibility factor of the sale value of land is the intensity of city transportation, which every addition of public transportation 8 vehicle / hour will increase the sale value of land amounted to Rp. 394,527.40 per m².

As part of a comprehensive archaeological survey of the area around the site of Glac, near ancient Sirmium, a detailed examination has been undertaken of the location of the via militaris from Sirmium to Bassianae in light of previous studies and new field surveys. In locating the road, the questions of the findspot of two Roman milestones, the location of the eastern gate of the city of Sirmium, the nature of road way stations including mutationes, and the likely location of the way station at Fossae mentioned in the Bordeaux Itinerary and Ravenna Cosmology have been considered. The implications of the road construction on the patterns of rural settlement and economy in the Glac Study Area are highlighted.

Jalan Temanggung Tilung is a 2/2 UD type road (two undirected two-way lanes) with a road width of 5.5 meters, which is a connecting road between two major roads, namely the RTA road. Milono and the path of G. Obos. Over time, the volume of traffic through these roads increases every year, plus roadside activities that also increase cause congestion at several points of the way. To overcome this problem, the local government carried out road widening to increase the capacity and level of road services. The study was conducted to determine the amount of traffic volume, performance, service level of the Temanggung Tilung road section at peak traffic hours before and after road widening. Data retrieval is done by the direct survey to the field to obtain primary data in the form of geometric road data, two-way traffic volume data, and side obstacle data. Performance analysis refers to the 1997 Indonesian Road Capacity Manual (MKJI) for urban roads. From the results of data processing, before increasing the road (Type 2/2 UD), the traffic volume that passes through the path is 842 pcs/hour and after road widening (Type 4/2 UD) the traffic volume for two directions is 973 pcs/hour, with route A equaling 528 pcs/hour and direction B equaling 445 pcs/hour. Based on the analysis of road performance before road enhancement, the capacity = 2551 pcs/hour, saturation degree = 0.331, and the service level of the two-way road are level B. Based on the analysis of the performance of the way after increasing the way, the direction capacity A = 2686 pcs/hour and direction B = 2674 pcs /hour, saturation degree for direction A = 0.196 and direction B = 0.166, service level for road direction A and direction B increase to level A

Sharpening the image of the road display requies a degree of brightness in the process of sharpening the image from the original image result of the improved image. One of the sharpening of the street view image is image processing. Image processing is one of the multimedia components that plays an important role as a form of visual information. There are many image processing methods that are used in sharpening the image of street views, one of them is the gram schmidt spectral sharpening method and high pass filtering. Gram schmidt spectral sharpening method is method that has another name for intensity modulation based on a refinement fillter. While the high pass filtering method is a filter process that btakes image with high intensity gradients and low intensity difference that will be reduced or discarded. Researce result show that the gram schmidt spectral sharpening method and high pass filtering can be implemented properly so that the sharpening of the street view image can be guaranteed sharpening by making changes frome the original image to the image using the gram schmidt spectral sharpening method and high pass filtering.Keywords: Image processing, gram schmidt spectral sharpening and high pass filtering.

The article analyses descriptions, memories, and notes on Dresden found in eighteenth-century accounts of Polish travellers. The overarching research objective is to capture the specificity of the way of presenting the city. The ways that Dresden is described are determined by genological diversity of texts, different ways of narration, the use of rhetorical repertoire, and the time of their creation. There are two dominant ways of presenting the city: the first one foregrounds the architectural and historical values, the second one revolves around social life and various kinds of games (redoubts, performances).
