Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Spatial dependency is the co-variation of properties within geographic space where characteristics at proximal locations appear to be correlated. Spatial dependency leads to the spatial autocorrelation such as temporal autocorrelation. Autocorrelation violates standard statistical techniques that assume independence among observations. Location effects also manifest as spatial heterogeneity (lack of uniformity), or the apparent variation in a process with respect to location in geographic space. Unless a space is uniform and boundless, every location will have some degree of uniqueness relative to other locations.
  2. The perspective adopted in this research establishes system attribute space as a synthetic three dimensional domain (Fig. 1). This modified perspective allows recreational boating to be bracketed within a narrow frame of reference characterized as: loosely coupled (relatively independent components), easily managed by one or more operators (simple to control), and most importantly, linear in terms of component complexity. Furthermore, it allows system attribute levels to vary with changing environmental influences as examined in this study. For instance, rapidly changing weather conditions can reduce the effectiveness of boating systems (manageability) and harbor traffic congestion can increase system complexity (interactiveness) as well as system interdependency (coupling). Recognition of these contextual environmental effects provides conceptual as well as empirical focus for this research. The synthetic conceptual framework suggests that system similarity is directly related to the nature of the accident domain that characterizes them. It also suggests that certain factors may be manifested as latent (antecedent) conditions, e.g., operator training, boating regulations, cultural influences, and environmental variables. Latent conditions are important because they combine in unexpected ways with triggering mechanisms to produce multi-level interactive effects that influence the probability that recreational boating accidents will occur.
