ABSTRACT
Landscape changes emerge from both natural forces and human activities. To come to grips with problematic environmental changes, like climate change, over-exploitation of non-renewables and pollution, it is important to gain integrated knowledge about why, where, when and how people and organizations influence the landscape via their resource use. Time-geography contributes with tools that reveal the time-space couplings between people and resources, which result from people’s performance of activities in their individual projects, as well as the various organizational projects they are involved in. This chapter includes a brief presentation of Hägerstrand’s concerns about the ecological dimension in time-geography, followed by examples of how time-geography is used to increase the knowledge about couplings between people’s everyday activities and use of resources.
