Medical diversity of migrants’ physical and mental health understandings
Health understandings of migrants, immigrants and persons with a migration background (in short: 'im/migrants') often diverge from the biomedical paradigm dominant in many host societies. Shaped by culturally diverse backgrounds, these understandings influence im/migrants’ health practices and utilisation of formal healthcare services. This study aims to explore the health understandings of im/migrants residing in two socio-culturally diverse urb…
Migrants' and immigrants' understandings of health and disease. Medical diversity in two diverse urban neighbourhoods
Health and disease are understood in diverse ways, and im/migrants bring cultural backgrounds that shape explanatory concepts. These understandings influence health practices and may affect utilisation of healthcare institutions. Yet most research focuses on biomedical perspectives, offering limited insight into how alternative medical, and supernatural understandings shape im/migrants' health practices. This study examined im/migrants in two Ger…
Temporal influences on accessibility to healthcare, using the example of pediatricians in Bavaria, Germany
Accessibility to healthcare is shaped by spatial and temporal dynamics. This paper develops a framework that explicitly considers temporal variability across micro- (daily routines), meso- (seasonal fluctuations), and macro-scales (demographic and structural changes). Using pediatric outpatient care in Southern Germany as a case, we examine how these temporal factors interact with regional disparities in service provision. A mixed-methods researc…
Uneven Geographies of Covid-19 II
This second of three review articles on the uneven geographies of COVID-19 examines geographical research on (1) spatial patterns of the pandemic's unfolding and (2) its uneven economic geographies, considering both its direct and indirect impacts-for example, those resulting from related preventive measures. In line with this article series, it (3) concludes by discussing the relevance of the reviewed research for the syndemics approach and vice…
Uneven geographies of Covid‐19
Building upon a review of geographic research agendas and concepts related to the uneven geographies of COVID‐19, this first of three articles debates the benefits of geographic analyses to the syndemic approach and, vice versa, of a syndemics perspective to geographic analyses. The syndemics perspective was proposed by critical medical anthropologists. It seeks to deepen the understanding of the structural dimensions and processes that lead to t…
Comparative analysis of local adaptation processes in the future across peri-urban India to support transformations to sustainability
Peri-urban transformations in emerging economies like India demand scientific attention given their impact on global environmental change processes. Some studies examine past or ongoing peri-urban adaptation processes, but insight into future adaptation needs and aspirations of peri-urban communities is lacking. Also, it is unknown how the high degree of informality that characterizes peri-urban areas, interacts with formal institutions to shape …
International Retirement Migration
International Retirement Migration (IRM) is a growing phenomenon in the Global South. Using the example of the city of Cotacachi in the Ecuadorian Andes, this paper analyzes the spatio-temporal growth of the properties acquired by foreign retirees. We have developed a multi-temporal map that visualizes the spatio-temporal patterns of foreign-owned real estate properties and explains them in the historical context of land tenure. As no official sp…
Financial engagement of the Indian diaspora in Germany
Indian nationals are a small but quickly growing migrant group in Germany that merits more research, especially related to remittance behaviour. Most of them are embedded in transnational networks; the remittances they send to India are an important way of expressing belonging, allowing the remitters to induce changes and fulfil traditional roles in spite of being physically absent. The findings presented in the paper's empirical section were col…
The ‘Indian diaspora’ in Germany – emerging networks and new homes
Indo-German migration after World War II can be divided into four distinct phases, which are described in the first part of this paper. Changing migration patterns in the past 70 years has resulted in a heterogeneous Indian population in Germany. The number of Indian migrants to Germany has been increasing sharply, especially in the last 15 years. This paper describes the migration pattern of the four phases and explains why migration from profes…
Involving private healthcare practitioners in an urban NCD sentinel surveillance system
BACKGROUND: Despite the rising impact of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) on public health in India, lack of quality data and routine surveillance hampers the planning process for NCD prevention and control. Current surveillance programs focus largely on communicable diseases and do not adequately include the private healthcare sector as a major source of care in cities. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to conceptualize, implement, and e…
Risk governance in the megacity Mumbai/India – A Complex Adaptive System perspective
Knowledge, attitude, and practices with respect to disease surveillance among urban private practitioners in Pune, India
BACKGROUND: Participation of private practitioners in routine disease surveillance in India is minimal despite the fact that they account for over 70% of the primary healthcare provision. We aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of private practitioners in the city of Pune toward disease surveillance. Our goal was to identify what barriers and facilitators determine their participation in current and future surveillance eff…
