The QGIS Polygon Divider
The QGIS ‘Polygon Divider’ plugin solves the problem of partitioning an arbitrarily complex polygon into an irregular grid of equal area rectangles, which has a range of applications for city science and GIS more broadly. This is achieved by the iterative partition of the polygon using cutlines that are located using Brent’s method, which is an efficient optimisation algorithm. At the time of release, this was the only tool with such functionalit…
Crossing the line’
Informal patterns of spatial division often persist in historically divided societies where segregation has been officially dismantled. This paper presents a theoretical model to explain why, focusing on the desegregation–resegregation dynamic. The Boundary Transgression Model highlights two interconnected pathways - social psychological and human geographic - that shape intergroup relations under conditions of change, fostering the re-emergence …
Does real time experience matter? Comparison of retrospective and in-situ spatial data in participatory mapping
The use of GNSS technology in smartphones to collect sensitive data on human mobility practices
The advent of mobile smartphones and similar technology has opened new opportunities for studying human mobility within psychology and companion disciplines such as human geography, demography, and sociology. This article examines how such research raises novel ethical concerns. To do so, we outline two research projects: one based in Northern Ireland (The Belfast Mobility Project) and the other in Chile (The Norm-Contact Mobility Project), drawi…
Using gamification to increase map data production during humanitarian volunteered geographic information (VGI) campaigns
Volunteered geographic information (VGI) offers a solution to inequalities in authoritative map data that can limit our response to humanitarian crises. However, sustaining voluntary contributions of map data can be difficult and hybrid machine learning-VGI (ML-VGI) workflows developed to encourage sustained volunteer contributions have been demonstrated to be insufficient. Gamification can be used to encourage volunteers to map for longer, howev…
Geospatial technologies in hazard research and response – a case study of Paper2GIS in an international field course
Geospatial technologies have revolutionised the field of hazard research as well as geography field-courses, providing powerful tools to analyse and visualise geospatial data for decision-making purposes. This paper presents a case study of Paper2GIS, an application for field data collection tested during an international field course in Seyðisfjörður, East Iceland. The field course was designed to expose students to the practical application of …
Participatory Mapping
Centaur VGI
Volunteered geographic information (VGI) is often cited as a potential solution to persistent global inequalities in map data, particularly in areas undergoing humanitarian crises. Poor volunteer engagement, slow data production, and low-quality outputs have limited progress, however, and can unintentionally exaggerate inequalities. Hybrid machine learning–VGI (ML–VGI) frameworks can help to overcome these challenges through a combination of work…
Centaur VGI
Despite advances in mapping technologies and spatial data capabilities, global mapping inequalities are not declining. Inequalities in the coverage, quality, and currency of mapping persist, with significant gaps in remote and rural parts of the Global South. These regions, representing some of the most economically and resource-disadvantaged societies in the world, need high-quality mapping to aid in the delivery of essential services, such as h…
Broaching the brook
Over the last century, under the modern hydraulic model, waterways across the world have been heavily canalized and culverted, driven into underground pipes, drains and sewers. This hydraulic approach has hardwired an isolated water network into the urban fabric, fragmenting erstwhile patterns and dynamics of life, both human and nonhuman. Ecologically, it has been hugely damaging, reducing water quality and biotic diversity, but also socially, d…
Scale effects in remotely sensed greenspace metrics and how to mitigate them for environmental health exposure assessment
Metrics representing exposure to the natural environment are widely used in environmental health-related studies. They are calculated using a variety of different data sources representing greenspace and a range of buffer sizes representing human interaction with the environment. Previous studies have identified issues relating to buffer distance and scaling effects on greenspace exposure assessments when using satellite image-derived metrics. We…
Parallel lives
Although intergroup contact can reduce prejudice, opportunities to experience such contact are often constrained by systems of segregation. Work on this problem has focused on divisions entrenched within institutions of residence, education, and employment. Our research employed a complementary approach, which treated segregation as the outcome of individuals' movements over time within everyday life spaces. Taking as a case study Catholics' and …
Place-Identity and Urban Policy
Given their liminal position as civic spaces typically surrounded by segregated residential districts, Belfast parks are on the frontlines of the ongoing ‘post-conflict’ policy initiative in Northern Ireland to create more shared spaces but have in some instances proved the thorniest types of civic space to integrate due to the intrusion of sectarian identities and the limits on freedom of movement these territorialisations have precipitated. Dra…
Exploring Segregation and Sharing in Belfast
This article presents a novel exploratory investigation into the location and characteristics of spaces that are segregated and shared between Protestant and Catholic communities in Belfast, Northern Ireland (UK). Focusing on a particularly segregated part of the city, this study uses state-of-the-art participatory geographic information systems (PGIS) and visualization techniques to create qualitative, bottom-up maps of segregation and sharing w…
Networks of (Dis)connection
Long-standing tensions between Protestant and Catholic communities in Northern Ireland have led to high levels of segregation. This article explores the spaces within which residents of north Belfast move within everyday life and the extent to which these are influenced by segregation. We focus in particular on the role that interconnecting tertiary streets have on patterns of mobility. We adapt Grannis’s (1998) concept to define T-communities fr…
Rapid age assessment of glacial landforms in the Pyrenees using Schmidt hammer exposure dating (SHED)
Schmidt hammer (SH) sampling of 54 10 Be-dated granite surfaces from the Pyrenees reveals a clear relationship between exposure and weathering through time (n=52, R 2 =0.96, P 10 Be-SH calibration curve, 100 surfaces were sampled from five ice-front positions in the Têt catchment, eastern Pyrenees, with results verified against independent 10 Be and 14 C ages. Gaussian modelling differentiates Holocene (9.4±0.6 ka), Younger Dryas (12.6±0.9 ka), O…
Negotiating the ground
While an exploration of mobility patterns in ‘post-conflict’ societies has much to tell us about how division is produced through ordinary activities, less work has considered the practical application of a mobilities ‘lens’ during fieldwork in such contexts. Negotiating the ground in highly polarized contexts presents a unique array of challenges, but also offers opportunities to make use of mobile methodologies. This paper discusses the advanta…
