Dans ce mémoire, nous partons de l'hypothèse que les dynamiques spatiales et les évolutions des usages des objets géographiques peuvent, en partie, être expliquées ou anticipées par leurs historiques de changements de fonctions et de co-localisations. Nous proposons d'exploiter la recherche des motifs fréquents et des règles d'associations pour en extraire des règles régissant ces dynamiques. Ce travail adapte également le processus de fouille de données pour tenir compte de la spécificité des données spatio-temporelles utilisées, en particulier, leur asymétrie.Dans ce contexte, notre proposition traite des questions liées à la modélisation des relations spatio-temporelles incorporées dans le jeu de données, la représentation adéquate des données d'apprentissage, pour ainsi, produire des règles adaptées à notre problème de prédiction. La prise en compte de l'asymétrie des attributs d'apprentissage en termes de fréquence est traitée selon deux approches : une approche utilisant plusieurs seuils de support minimum et une approche traitant disjointement les attributs. Pour la première approche, deux adaptations de l'algorithme MSApriori ont été proposées pour la définition et l'affectation de ces seuils. Pour la seconde, nous proposons l'algorithme BERA pour la génération de règles en allant de la construction de la conclusion vers la construction des prémisses.Afin de vérifier et évaluer nos propositions, nous proposons une étude expérimentale menée sur différents jeux de données issus des données Corine Land Cover dans le cadre d’un dispositif expérimental appelé SAFFIET. / In this dissertation, we start from the hypothesis that spatial dynamics and geographical object usage evolution may partially be explained or predicted by their different previous spatial configuration. Thus, we propose to exploit frequent pattern mining and association rule mining in order to extract rules governing these dynamics. This work tries, as well, to adapt the data mining process to take into account the specificity of the used spatiotemporal data, in particular, their asymmetry. In this context, our proposal deals with questions related to the modeling of the spatiotemporal relations incorporated in the data set, the adequate representation of the learning data in order to produce rules adapted to our prediction problem. Addressing the asymmetric aspect of learning attributes, mainly in terms of their frequencies, is tackled according to two approaches: the first one is based on using multiple minimum supports (minsup) and the second one consists in addressing the attributes in a disjointed manner. The first approach is based on two adaptations of the MSApriori algorithm for the definition and assignment of these thresholds. The second approach exploits the novel BERA algorithm which is based on semantics of the predicates for the generation of rules, going from the construction of the conclusion part to the construction of the premise part. In order to verify and evaluate our proposals, an experimental study is carried out on different datasets from Corine Land Cover in an experimental tool called SAFFIET.

This study examines postwar Japanese photography and the influence of World War Two, the Allied Occupation (1945-1952), and social and economic transformations during the Era of High-Speed Growth (1955-1970) on ways in which photographers approached and depicted reality. In the late 1940s, censorship erased the reality of a devastated society and evidence of the Allied Occupation from photography magazines. Once censorship ended in 1949, photographers reacted to miserable living conditions, as well as the experience of producing wartime propaganda, by confronting reality directly. Finally, photographers responded to social transformations and resulting challenges during the Era of High-Speed Growth by shifting from an objective reporting to a subjective critique of reality. A study of photography from 1945 to 1970 not only demonstrates how socio-historical forces influence photography but also reveals key changes in Japanese society and the urban landscape as Japan transitioned from a defeated, occupied nation to an economic powerhouse.

This research explored older Slovenians’ occupations, including the ways in which the transition into a care home influenced their occupational engagement. The research encompassed three stages. Stage 1 investigated Slovenian older people’s individual experiences of occupational engagement, with a particular emphasis on their personally meaningful occupations. Stage 2 aimed to enhance understanding of the impact of transition into a care home on older Slovenians’ meaningful occupations. Finally, Stage 3 sought to provide an insight into older people’s occupational engagement in one Slovenian care home. The first two stages of this research took a phenomenological approach; focusing on the participants’ individual experiences of occupational engagement; using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to approach and analyse the data. Ten older adults were interviewed in Stage 1 and six older adults were interviewed in Stage 2 at three time points: before the relocation into a care home, one month after and six months after the relocation. The final stage was ethnographic in nature; exploring occupational engagement among Slovenian care home residents as a culture-sharing group; using observations for collecting the data and analysing the resulting field notes using Thematic Analysis. The findings consistently highlighted the significance of occupations and routines in participants’ everyday lives as important parts of their identities. The first two stages highlighted the importance of a continuous experience of meaning in occupation, across participants’ lives and throughout their transition into a care home. Some of these meanings were specific to Slovenian socio-cultural, historic and geographical context. The participants especially valued productive occupations such as gardening, family-related occupations such as looking after and passing knowledge to younger generations and occupations related to particular places, such as spending time at their weekend cottages and home surroundings, walking familiar pathways or hiking Slovenian mountains. These Slovenian older adults purposefully engaged in health-promoting occupations in order to maintain their health, in turn influencing their occupational engagement. Since their everyday routines were related to particular places, Stages 2 and 3 highlighted that some of these occupations were disrupted by their new living environment. The care home residents managed this situation by trying to maintain their engagement in occupations that they perceived personally meaningful and enjoyable. This research is foundational in the Slovenian context, with the findings also being transferrable to individuals and contexts outside Slovenia. From exploring the impact of older people’s living environments on their meaningful occupational engagement, the findings contribute original knowledge to occupational science regarding the link between occupation, place, identity and the transactional perspective of occupation. This indicates the need to develop further therapeutic programmes and services for older people making the transition to care home living.
