Urban mobility responses to wildfire smoke-related air quality advisories in Montréal, Canada
Wildfire smoke events are increasing in frequency and severity, yet evidence on how urban populations modify their mobility in response to air quality advisories remains limited. In this work we apply time-series forecasting modelling to four mobility datasets (bike-share, metro rail, bus, and recreational running). We examine changes to daily activity counts in Montréal, Canada during wildfire smoke-related air quality advisory days from 2022 th…
How is obstetric violence conceptualised and understood in the academic literature? A meta-narrative review
Obstetric violence has emerged as a powerful yet contested term that describes harmful and abusive practices and institutional and systemic failings in reproductive healthcare. While its origins lie in Latin American legal and activist movements, the term has since entered English-language academic literature across multiple disciplines. This article presents a meta-narrative review of how obstetric violence has been conceptualised in scholarly w…
Polarized geoprivacy attitudes on Chinese social media
Gender differences in urban recreational running
Exploring the dynamics of urban recreational running, this study examines the spatial and temporal patterns of running activities among men and women in two major North American cities, Montréal, Canada and Washington, DC, USA. A total of 20,446 running trajectories from a geosocial fitness tracking application were analyzed, revealing significant gender differences. These gender preferences differ in terms of location and time, highlighting sign…
Geoprivacy Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors in Contemporary China
China has an Internet penetration rate of over 70 percent and a massive user base of social media. However, the topic of privacy attitudes among Chinese individuals remains understudied. We analyzed geoprivacy concerns in China through an online survey and regression analysis. Our findings suggest a positive relation among privacy knowledge, attitude, and behavior, consistent with related literature. Declarative knowledge (such as privacy rights)…
Navigating the post-pandemic urban landscape
Regional comparison of socio-demographic variation in urban E-scooter usage
In recent years we have witnessed explosive growth in the shared, free-floating, electric scooter industry. While still controversial in many North American cities, a number of large e-scooter operators have managed to carve out a piece of the urban transportation landscape. As these vehicles shift from novelty services to increasingly reliable modes of short personal travel, the discussion has turned to investigating who exactly benefits from th…
Learning from obstetric violence in UK births at home
Current understanding and conceptualisations of obstetric violence typically focus on abuse carried out on pregnant women during births in medical facilities. However, data from an empirical study of freebirthing in the UK (intentionally giving birth without health care professionals present) inadvertently exposed examples of obstetric violence during births at home. This is an under-researched area and such empirical examples are rare. The artic…
MixMap
What other locations are like my neighborhood? How? Why? The heart of many spatial analyses is in finding similarities or dissimilarities between locations. Discovering patterns and interpreting similarity is a complicated process that is based on both the spatial characteristics and the semantics or meaning that we assign to place. Human conceptualization of similarity in locations is multi-faceted and cannot be captured with a simple assessment…

Measuring urban regional similarity through mobility signatures
Freebirthing in the United Kingdom
Freebirth occurs when women intentionally give birth to their baby without midwives or doctors present in countries and eras in which there are maternity services available to assist them. This paper forms part of a wider project on women's freebirthing experiences in the United Kingdom. Verbatim transcripts created from face-to-face narrative interviews with 16 freebirthing women were analyzed using the Voice Centered Relational Method (VCRM). V…

Urban mobility in the sharing economy
A country comparison of place-based activity response to Covid-19 policies
Exploring the conceptualisation and study of freebirthing as a historical and social phenomenon
Freebirthing is a clandestine practice whereby women intentionally give birth without healthcare professionals (HCPs) present in countries where there are medical facilities available to assist them. Women who make this decision are frequently subjected to stigma and condemnation, yet research on the phenomenon suggests that women’s motivations are often complex. The aim of this review was to explore how freebirth has been conceptualised over tim…
Location in location-less environments
In spite of the capacity for the Internet to connect people and information irrespective of geography, physical location may paradoxically provide influential indicators of the perceived expertise of strangers and the credibility of the information they provide that may in turn guide people’s behaviors. To address this, this study examined the novel concept of geospatial concordance or the degree to which entities implicated in the sharing of agg…
Spatiotemporal comparative analysis of scooter-share and bike-share usage patterns in Washington, D.C
POI Pulse
The volume, velocity, and variety of data that are now becoming available allow us to study urban environments based on human behaviour with a spatial, temporal, and thematic granularity that was not achievable until now. Such data-driven approaches open up additional, complementary perspectives on how urban systems function, especially if they are based on user-generated content (UGC). While the data sources, such as social media, introduce spec…
A weighted multi-attribute method for matching user-generated Points of Interest
To a large degree, the attraction of Big Data lies in the variety of its heterogeneous multi-thematic and multi-dimensional data sources and not merely its volume. To fully exploit this variety, however, requires conflation. This is a two-step process. First, one has to establish identity relations between information entities across different data sources; and second, attribute values have to be merged according to certain procedures that avoid …
