Abstract:
Albert discusses changing patterns of physician office locations in Asheville from a land-use context. In 1948, a thriving medical district existed within the central business district of Asheville, but in 1991, just a handful of physicians remained in this area. This article is concerned with the temporal and spatial sequences of this shift, and the role of land use planning on evolving patterns of medical land use.

Abstract:
In addition to the natural forces at work on coastlines there is change being brought about by increasing populations. Where rates of development are rapid, we find that map revisions cannot keep pace and therefore we must rely on other information sources. Standard vertical aerial photography can provide very complete information about structures, vegetation, and coastal morphology.

Abstract:
Industrialization in North Carolina quickened in the 1880s, led by the textile industry. Textile mills sprang up in rural areas and towns, thereby leading to the development of mill villages. In this article, Eyre traces the broad outlines of how the functions and character of former mill villages have been altered by the widening economic influences of part of the Piedmont crescent.

Abstract:
Accelerated soil erosion, due to agriculture and construction, is a serious concern in North Carolina. Using geographic information systems, researchers examined historical land use patterns in a southern Appalachian watershed and related techniques to relate those activities to estimated spatial and temporal patterns of soil erosion since the implementation of soil conservation programs.

Abstract:
Agriculture is the predominant economic activity in south-central North Carolina. Though abundant arable land is available for increased production, expansion and refinement is often hindered by frequent and sometimes severe droughts, associated with high temperatures and sandy soil. Ross argues for increased rates and levels of irrigation that would result in a more consistent and higher quality product.

Many North Carolina citizens rely on ground water for their drinking water. Thus, the importance of preventing groundwater contamination is high. Harman and Smutko discuss the federal and state government's role in wellhead protection and highlight Gaston County in the process of developing a county-wide wellhead protection program.

Abstract:
In the early 19th century, North Carolina experienced the first fold mining boom in North America. By the 1830s a federal branch mint had been built in Charlotte and occupations in gold production were second only to agriculture. North Carolina's mines received a great deal of attention from northern and foreign venture capitalists, who brought not only investment but skilled labor and management to the deep mines of the Piedmont. Many of these skilled miners were Cornishmen, who brought their mining heritage, refined over centuries of experience, into this new field of opportunity.

Abstract:
As physicians orient toward a changing health care system, they increasingly establish secondary and tertiary practice locations. Sixteen percent of North Carolina's physicians had multiple locations during 1992. The expansion into multiple sites has clear implications for the geographic distribution of physicians and therefore the availability of and access to physicians.

Abstract:
With a barrier island coast and vast areas of estuaries, North Carolina is particularly vulnerable to global warming. In addition, agriculture and urban areas are now more vulnerable to changes in temperature and precipitation associated with global warming. Thus, this article explores global warming and associated methane emissions in North Carolina.

Abstract:
Tobacco has captured the public's attention as concerns about public health, regulation of sales and advertising, and changes in farm legislation raise questions about the future of tobacco production in the US. These questions are of particular relevance to North Carolina where tobacco has historically played a significant role in the state's economy. This article explores the changing economy and geography of tobacco in eastern North Carolina over the past thirty years.
