Use of electronic travel diaries and vehicle instrumentation packages in the year 2000 : Atlanta Regional Household Travel Survey

The Georgia Institute of Technology is currently performing research that will result in the development and deployment of three instrumentation packages that allow for automated capture of personal travel-related data for a given time period (up to 10 days). These three packages include: A handheld electronic travel diary (ETD) with Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities to capture trip information for all modes of travel; A comprehensive electronic travel monitoring system (CETMS), which includes an ETD, a rugged laptop computer, a GPS receiver and antenna, and an onboard engine monitoring system, to capture all trip and vehicle information; and a passive GPS receiver, antenna, and data logger to capture vehicle trips only.

Examination of relationships between urban form, household activities, and time allocation in the Atlanta Metropolitan Region

A substantial body of research is focused on understanding the relationships between socio-demographics, land-use characteristics, and mode specific attributes on travel mode choice and time-use patterns. Residential and commercial densities, inter-mixing of land uses, and route directness in conjunction with transportation performance characteristics interact to influence accessibility to destinations as well as time spent traveling and engaging in activities. This study uniquely examines the activity durations undertaken for out-of-home subsistence; maintenance, and discretionary activities. Also examined are total tour durations (summing all activity categories within a tour). Cross-sectional activities are obtained from household activity travel survey data from the Atlanta Metropolitan Region. Time durations allocated to weekdays and weekends are compared. The censoring and endogeneity between activity categories and within individuals are captured using multiple equations Tobit models. The analysis and modeling reveal that land-use characteristics such as net residential density and the number of commercial parcels within a kilometer of a residence are associated with differences in weekday and weekend time-use allocations. Household type and structure are significant predictors across the three activity categories, but not for overall travel times. Tour characteristics such as time-of-day and primary travel mode of the tours also affect traveler's out-of-home activity-tour time-use patterns.

Identité des Africains-Américains d'Atlanta : entre mémoire et histoire

Depuis une vingtaine d’années, nous nous familiarisons avec l’appellation d’Africains -Américains pour désigner les Noirs Américains. Cependant, dès son apparition, certaines personnes ont pensé que cette appellation ne serait pas acceptée par les membres du groupe. Pourtant, à leur arrivée sur le continent américain,les Noirs s’identifiaient comme Africains et cette référence est réapparue au XXe siècle. À travers des entrevues, effectuées à Atlanta en mars 2001, nous analysons le rôle joué par la mémoire collective et la mémoire sociale sur l’identité et nous interprétons les discours des individus concernant la nouvelle appellation instaurée en 1989. Ce mémoire est une analyse historique et anthropologique des discours identitaires chez des Africains-Américains d’Atlanta en 2001. Nous identifions deux axes du processus d’identification dont les racines remontent au XIXe siècle. La conscience de la situation unique des Africains en Amérique a toujours orienté l’identité «…and the Negro protest movement in two ways and has led in two directions simultaneously: wanting out and wanting in …» (Joanne Grant 1968, 1983, 1986: 9).

Keeping healthy. Atlanta 96. Letïs go.

Material para trabajar la lengua inglesa en la E.S.O. y Bachillerato. Se presentan dos unidades didácticas sobre dos ejes didácticos: los deportes y la educación para la salud. En lugar de hacerlo en torno a criterios funcionales o estructurales, el material se organiza en base a 'tareas', en las que se contempla la lengua extranjera como vehículo para el conocimiento de otras áreas e instrumento de expresión de otros temas de interés. Entre ellas, se señalan las que se proponen como tareas opcionales y como tareas diferenciadas de refuerzo o de ampliación. Para el desarrollo de los materiales se adopta un enfoque comunicativo, con actividades de distintos tipos: comunicativas, de reflexión sobre la lengua y desarrollo de capacidades en general. Se proponen instrumentos concretos para cada etapa del proceso de evaluación, así como pautas para su utilización. Se incluye además, una tabla de registros para facilitar la recopilación de los resultados de la evaluación formativa y sumativa y de las observaciones realizadas. Esta evaluación también proporcionará al profesorado datos valiosos acerca de la programación y metodología que le serán de gran ayuda para revisar el currículo e introducir las modificaciones necesarias.
