Climate Change and Cities
The Urban Climate Change Research Network's Second Assessment Report on Climate Change in Cities (ARC3.2) is the second in a series of global, science-based reports to examine climate risk, adaptation, and mitigation efforts in cities. The book explicitly seeks to explore the implications of changing climatic conditions on critical urban physical and social infrastructure sectors and intersectoral concerns. The primary purpose of ARC3.2 is to inf…

Climate Change and the Global Financial Crisis
Despite widespread and growing public recognition of the linkages between environmental change and economic activities, geographic research efforts to date have paid only limited attention to the connections and interactions between climate change and globalization. As a consequence, critical linkages, feedbacks, and synergies between these two processes often go unnoticed. In this article, we draw on the framework of double exposure to motivate …
Consumption, Inequity, and Environmental Justice
Suburban-style housing is becoming increasingly common in cities throughout the developing world. In this article, we describe processes that influence the formation of new suburban landscapes in these cities, and we consider the implications of these developments for questions of social and environmental equity. We show how suburban landscape construction may foster inequities in both exposure to environmental hazards and in access to environmen…
The Geography of Support for Open‐Space Initiatives
Objectives. By a two to one margin, New Jersey voters in 1998 approved a ballot measure authorizing a 10‐year, 1‐billion dollar open‐space acquisition program. This article's principal objectives are to investigate and explain the spatial character of that vote. Methods. Our methods consists of regression and principal components analyses; we use municipal‐level data to define statewide patterns of voter support and participation in relation to a…

Participatory Research on Collaborative Environmental Management
In seeking to trace linkages among groups involved with environmental management in New York State's Adirondack Park, we developed a participatory exercise and employed it at a recent Adirondack research conference. Fourteen organizations took part, collectively representing 72 linkages associated with policies and programs, expertise, information dissemination, and physical facilities. The exercise revealed a dense hub-and-spoke pattern of inter…

Managing Land Use and Land-Cover Change
The biosphere reserve is an explicitly spatial approach to ecosystem management. Based on the theory of island biogeography, a biosphere reserve consists of a core area of high ecological value protected by buffers of increasing land-use intensity that provide a gradual transition to surrounding, human-dominated landscapes. This paper addresses implementation of the biosphere reserve associated with the New Jersey Pinelands Comprehensive Manageme…
Local attitudes on regional ecosystem management
The objective of this article is to examine the attitudes of southern New Jersey residents (n = 401) to a regional ecosystem management plan, the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan. The research questions focus on the association between residents’ socioeconomic characteristics and interaction with the plan, and their level of support for it. The results indicate that approximately half of the respondents support the planning efforts. Signif…
Setting Environmental Justice in Space and Place
This paper compares the spatial distribution and character of two categories of risk—chronic toxic releases (small-scale, long-term exposures) and acute releases (large-scale, short-term events)—for the southeastern United States from 1987-1990. Our purpose is to identify whether lower-income minority counties are disproportionately at risk from these airborne releases of extremely hazardous substances. We found a fairly uniform distribution of c…
