1 maj 2022 · This much improved precision also holds for measures of a location's distance to other cities, or to particular geographic features (e.g., a natural harbor, mineral deposit, or source of potable water). Most studies to date use the simple geodesic distance between locations (Bosker and Buringh, 2017; Barjamovic et al., 2019; Bakker et al., 2021).
City Distances are great-circle distances calculated using the Haversine formula based on internal points in the geographic area. Places are from Census 2000 SF1 and Census 2010 SF1 files. Places "usually [are] a city, town, village, or borough, but can have other legal descriptions."
1 mar 2017 · This paper sheds new empirical light on their origins. Using a new dataset covering over 250,000 randomly selected potential city locations, and all actual cities during the period 800–1800, we disentangle the different roles of geography in shaping today’s European city system.
9 kwi 2017 · Towns vary in size from the rural village (pop. ~400) to a more prosperous city (pop. ~6000). Town-vs-town warfare is historically rare and often not very substantial; any border control of towns would mostly focus on rogue bandits and the like.
1 sie 2023 · Abstract. Rural-urban classifications are essential for analyzing geographic, demographic, environmental, and social processes across the rural–urban continuum. Most existing classifications are, however, only available at relatively aggregated spatial scales, such as at the county scale in the United States.
18 maj 2018 · Table 4.5 provides direct length conversion factors for different locations, regions, eras, and historical civilizations listed alphabetically by location in both metric and English/U.S. Customary units.
Simply enter any desired location into the search function and you will get the shortest distance (air line) between the points, the route (route planner) as well as all important information. Of course, you can also determine distances between coordinates (latitude / longitude).
