The Environmental–Social Nexus of Subnational Conflict in Pakistan
Subnational conflict in Pakistan is an understudied area in academic literature despite being ranked as one of the least peaceful countries in the world. Several reports have identified South Asia as particularly vulnerable in the context of climate change and the changing geopolitical landscape; however, there is little understanding of the drivers of conflict at more local scales. This study provides an exploratory analysis of subnational confl…
Spatial Associations of Anti-Asian Hate on Social Media in the USA During Covid-19
Utah Latina/o/x suicide decedents less likely to die by firearm, even in rural areas
Introduction: Suicide death remains a significantly rarer event among Latina/o/x populations compared to non-Latina/o/x populations. However, the reasons why Latina/o/x communities experience relatively lower suicide rates are not fully understood. Critical gaps exist in the examination of Latina/o/x suicide death, especially in rural settings, where suicide death by firearm is historically more common within non-Latina/o/x populations. Method: W…
Spatial analysis of disaster resilience research
Stopping the Steal
The spread of recent conspiracy theories in the United States has been responsible for general social disorder, and an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on 6 January 2021. The specific conspiracy theory responsible for the 6 January events suggested that the 2000 election was stolen from then-President Trump and given to Joe Biden. On social media, the conspiracy theory was represented by the hashtag #StopTheSteal. This research analyzes the spati…
Contrasting Ideologies
This article describes the process taken by members of a seminar course on radical geography in a primarily quantitative geography department. This course was taught during tumultuous times necessitating the need to explore radical topics and abstract conceptualizations of space and place. We offer our experiences and lessons learned while teaching this vital course. Hopefully, this information will be useful to those considering doing the same a…

Comparing GIS-Based Flood Resilience Models in a Developing Nation
Floods have a devastating impact on developing nations. The focus of current resilience models is predominantly developed countries, and less is known regarding how they might perform in other contexts. This paper presents a comparative case study in Bangladesh using two established hazard resilience models: the Disaster Resilience of Place (DROP) Model and the Spatially Explicit Resilience-Vulnerability (SERV) model. Using publicly available dat…
Spatial Distribution of Hateful Tweets Against Asians and Asian Americans During the Covid-19 Pandemic, November 2019 to May 2020
Objectives. To illustrate the spatiotemporal distribution of geolocated tweets that contain anti-Asian hate language in the contiguous United States during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. We used a data set of geolocated tweets that match with keywords reflecting COVID-19 and anti-Asian hate and identified geographical clusters using the space-time scan statistic with Bernoulli model. Results. Anti-Asian hate language surged be…

Introducing a Dataset of Multi-Scale Geographies of Isis Ideology from Isis Sources
This research proposes a methodology for extracting and analyzing geographical perspectives of terrorists and insurgents from online textual media. The information age has afforded organizations platforms that can be used to control their own media messages. Given that power, terrorist groups are able to create customized messages and define themselves in their own eyes on an international scale, often generating widespread sympathies and increas…
Reflections on hateful responses to research on hate in the United States
While researching hate and gaining media attention beginning in 2018, we incurred a good amount of hate toward us and our research in the form of online comments and direct correspondence. Rather than just pass the comments off as general hate, we collected the text and analyzed it in an attempt to better understand the beliefs, perceptions, and arguments of those that rejected our efforts toward gaining knowledge on geographical hate trends. We …
Crowdsourcing sensitive VGI
Gaps in hate crime and hate incident data are a major roadblock in increasing our understanding of the rising phenomenon of hate in the United States. In this paper, we reflect on the development of our geographically-integrated mobile application (the Hate Incident Reporting System) as an attempt to help close the gap in hate incident data. More broadly, we provide conceptual and methodological insights for working with sensitive Volunteered Geo…

Add to the map! Evaluating digitally mediated participatory mapping for grassroots sustainabilities
Digitally mediated participatory mapping (DGPM) has expanded significantly in recent years, along with the growth of open-source mapping. Grassroots sustainability initiatives have exploited this opportunity, and today there are hundreds if not thousands of maps of these projects in locations around the world. However, to date little scholarly attention has been paid to participatory internet-based mapping of grassroots sustainability projects. I…
Effects of neighborhood environment, safety, and urban amenities on origins and destinations of walking behavior
Walking increases physical activity and reduces obesity. Walking behavior is influenced by many different factors, including urban safety. This article studies origin and destination choices of walking behavior in Salt Lake City using GIS and statistical analyzes.We find that the origins, and destinations are influenced by different neighborhood environmental factors. Street connectivity and public parks increase the number of destinations, but h…
Geographies of Organized Hate in America
Hate in the United States today is narrowly understood but widely used as a politically charged term. Recently, political blame-placing on outsiders such as immigrants has bred a climate of hate and provided fuel for organizations that promote hostility toward others based on marginal group identification. This study investigates patterns of hate groups across space and their drivers with respect to socioeconomic and ideological variables for cou…

The Geography of International Terrorism
While geography is not the only factor to shape human behavior, its influence on terrorists motivations, behaviors, options, and activities is a primary consideration in understanding terrorism.

A Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analysis of Spatiotemporal Patterns of Terrorist Incidents in Iraq 2004–2009
As terrorism on all scales continues, it is necessary to improve understanding of terrorist and insurgent activities. This article takes a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) approach to advance the understanding of spatial, social, political, and cultural triggers that influence terrorism incidents. Spatial, temporal, and spatiotemporal patterns of terrorist attacks are examined to improve knowledge about terrorist systems of training, planning…
Online Video “Friends” Social Networking
This article examines the links to YouTube from the Facebook "walls" of the three major candidates in the 2008 U.S. Presidential election. User-generated linkage patterns show how participants in these politically related social networking dialogs used online video to make their points. We show how different types of individuals inhabit these overlapping public spheres and how they provide structure and interpretive information for others. Civic …
Off the wall political discourse
Both candidates and voters have increased their use of the Internet for political campaigns. Candidates have adopted many internet tools, including social networking websites, for the purposes of communicating with constituents and voters, collecting donations, fostering community, and organizing events. On the other side, voters have adopted Internet tools such as blogs and social networking sites to relate to candidates, engage in political dia…

Spatial and Temporal Analyses of Terrorist Incidents in Iraq, 2004–2006
Terrorist incidents are not random in space or time. Understanding the current spatial and temporal patterns of terrorist incidents, as well as predicting future trends, is vital for effective counterterrorist efforts. This article focuses on terrorist incidents in Iraq, which are defined here as attacks, both successful and unsuccessful, in order to detect patterns in the establishment of terrorist activity spaces. Using Geographic Information S…
