A comparative analysis of the spatial determinants of e-bike and e-scooter sharing link flows
Shared micromobility in the U.S. has rebound after the decline caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with a substantial increase in the adoption of shared e-bikes nationwide. However, research on hybrid e-bike sharing, which combines station-based and dockless systems, is limited. This study addresses this gap by comparing spatial determinants of hybrid e-bike and dockless e-scooter sharing link flows in 32,965 street segments in Portland, Oregon duri…

Reproducibility and Replicability in the Context of the Contested Identities of Geography
This article situates the current discussion of reproducibility and replicability taking place across the sciences within geographers’ enduring discussion of nomothetic and idiographic approaches, best exemplified by the Hartshorne–Schaefer debate. Although the Hartshorne–Schaefer debate retrospectively set the stage for the development of geography from the 1950s to the present, it is surprising that direct discussions of reproducibility and rep…
Do central state interventions cause urban shrinkage in China
In China, the stories of urban shrinkage have been ignored and obscured by the dazzling urbanization and modernization processes. This paper intends to find out which prefecture-level cities shrank from 2011 to 2015 and examine the influence of central state interventions on urban shrinkage. By calculating the urban household registered population changes of 283 prefecture-level cities and four municipalities in Mainland China, we identify 76 cit…
Understanding the New Human Dynamics in Smart Spaces and Places
The smart technologies led by advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the emerging data science in recent years are transforming many facets of society in profound ways. One of these affected areas is the experience of human dynamics in general and human mobility in particular with the growing maturity of smart technologies. The goal of this article is to critically examine the concepts of space and place in geography in genera…

Volunteered Geographic Information
Volunteered geographic information (VGI) refers to geographic information that is acquired and made available to others through the voluntary activities of either individuals or groups. The growth of VGI in the past 10 years is a result of several related technological advances and scientific practices, such as Web 2.0, Geoweb, mobile technologies, neogeography, citizen science, crowdsourcing, and open science. VGI often differs from conventional…
Information Synthesis
Information synthesis generally refers to the process of integrating, or weaving together, information from disparate sources into a coherent whole. Information synthesis can be achieved through taxonomy and classification, concepts/models/theories, analogies/metaphors/narratives/stories, and/or powerful images or embodiment without words. With information increasingly becoming digital in the age of big data, a variety of software tools have been…
Integrating the normative with the positive dimension of the new science for cities
Cellular Automata (CA) models are powerful simulation tools to study complex urban systems. Although there has been considerable amount of CA-based modeling work reported in the literature, few have been used as actual planning or policy making tools. The goal of this research aims to address the problem of “unapplicable CA models” by combining CA models with the framework of geodesign. Inspired by Batty's new science of cities, we put forward a …

Crossing the qualitative-quantitative chasm III
In our third and final report, we again prioritize the open embrace of methodological differences, seeking to span the qualitative-quantitative chasm in different ways. Amid broad focus on methodological newness, we review the importance of enduring methods such as interviewing and mapping. Amid efforts to make data and publications openly available, we review efforts to include communities in participatory research. Amid the emergence of data-ex…

Researching Volunteered Geographic Information
The convergence of newly interactive Web-based technologies with growing practices of user-generated content disseminated on the Internet is generating a remarkable new form of geographic information. Citizens are using handheld devices to collect geographic information and contribute it to crowd-sourced data sets, using Web-based mapping interfaces to mark and annotate geographic features, or adding geographic location to photographs, text, and …
Crossing the qualitative- quantitative divide II
In this second of three reports on qualitative and quantitative methods we highlight novel methods with particular purchase on the problems of our time. We again focus on scholarship crossing multiple geographical divides, those of neo/paleo geography, qualitative/quantitative methods, and physical/human geography. We do so now by concentrating on three areas: the emerging digital humanities and the rise of big data, mobile methods, and rhythmana…
The convergence of GIS and social media
It is hard to believe that 10 years have passed since we wrote our guest editorial for IJGIS (Sui and Goodchild 2001 Sui, D.Z. and Goodchild, M.F. 2001. Are GIS becoming new media?. International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 15(5): 387–390. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). Using the nascent evidence that emerged in the late 1990s, we speculated back in 2001 that geographic information systems (GIS…
Crossing the qualitative-quantitative chasm I
This report, the first of three, reviews methods and methodological approaches, qualitative and quantitative. In an effort to look beyond the qualitative-quantitative divide, two geographers with different methodological background and expertise write together. This first report reviews works under the broader context of hybrid geographies, the spatial turn, and the recent explosive growth of volunteered geographic information (VGI). The works re…

Linking Urban Field Theory with Gis and Remote Sensing to Detect Signatures of Rapid Urbanization on the Landscape
Accelerating urbanization all over the world has renewed interdisciplinary interests and public concerns over the impacts of rapid urbanization in general and urban sprawl in particular. Despite the voluminous literature on the costs and impacts of urban sprawl, we still do not have a conceptually rigorous and operationally straightforward methodology to quantitatively characterize sprawl in space and time. By integrating GIS and remote sensing t…

A tetradic analysis of GIS and society using McLuhan's law of the media
The social implications of GIS have been debated over the past five years among scholars in several disciplines. GIS have been either conceived by practitioners as value‐free, neutral tools for problem‐solving or castigated by critical social theorists as socially biased technologies serving only corporate and state interests. Neither of these polarized views is very helpful in understanding the complex relationship between GIS and society. This …

Postmodern Urbanism Disrobed
“Geography has fallen on hard times” is how Harvard economic historian David Landes (1998, p. 1) starts his book, The Wealth and Poverty of Nations. In the first two chapters, Landes gives a candid and often blunt assessment of geography as a discipline. To Landes, the abolishment of geography at Harvard and other Ivy League universities was well deserved because of geography’s inherent intellectual weaknesses. Landes identified, among several ot…

Geographic Information Systems and Medical Geography
The past decade has witnessed wide-ranging applications of geographic information systems (GIS) in public health. The literature on GIS and medical geography has predominantly focused on how GIS can be applied as analytical and visualization tools to examine the geographic aspects of disease and health services. While GIS applications in medical geography are important and have been growing rapidly, this article argues that advances in medical ge…
Visualizing and Analysing Public-Health Data Using Value-by-Area Cartograms
Although the first use of cartograms for visualizing public-health data can be traced back to the late 1920s, there still exists no systematic study on the effectiveness of this non-conventional cartographic technique in public health. Situated in the literature of three dominating paradigms regarding the nature of maps, this article develops a comprehensive framework for a better understanding of cartograms in public health. Using data from the …
