Spatial imaginaries underpin community objections to shale gas exploration in the UK
Using solicited research diaries to assess the restorative potential of exposure to inland blue space across time
Inland blue spaces, or freshwater environments, have been shown to provide people with positive mental health and wellbeing outcomes. Most inland blue space research focusing on wellbeing outcomes has so far been cross-sectional, utilising questionnaires and interviews. Therefore, there is significant uncertainty regarding the potential for inland waterways to benefit human populations over longer-term time scales. Across a sixteen-month data col…
Health and wellbeing (dis)benefits of accessing inland blue spaces over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic led to widespread repercussions, affecting all aspects of society, from global economics to everyday social interactions. Due to the significant uncertainty caused by the pandemic, many individuals sought solace from nature. Freshwater environments, or inland blue spaces, are one type of natural environment that may have acted as a vital public health resource for communities during the pandemic. This research used semi-stru…
Who is the ‘public’ when it comes to public opinion on energy? A mixed-methods study of revealed and elicited public attitudes to shale gas extraction
Shale gas is a contentious energy source. Yet, ‘imagined’ notions of the public (for example, NIMBYs) rarely reflect the reality of public opinion. We use an inductive, empirical approach to define UK publics in relation to shale gas extraction, drawing on multiple data sources (social media, a national survey, and two local surveys) and composite measures. Cluster analyses and thematic coding reveal a diversity of responses ranging from active o…
Great Britain's spatial twitter activity related to ‘fracking’
Fracking has proven to be a contentious issue in Great Britain, receiving wide press coverage from the initial sale of exploration and development licences, to the current moratorium. This research tracks the public activity online related to this ‘fracking’ journey by analysing over 317 million geolocated tweets from 2015 to 2020, mapping their location to compare the spatial distribution against the shale gas exploration sites. To spatially nor…

Translating heritage
Heritage tourism is a vital part of the global economy. To attract more international tourists, many heritage sites provide multilingual interpretation. Previous research suggests that cultural adaptations in translations are essential to international visitors having a positive experience. This article challenges this view based on two theoretical premises: visitors are active participants in engaging with heritage interpretation, and their expe…
Design of a decision support tool for visualising E. coli risk on agricultural land using a stakeholder-driven approach
Enabling knowledge exchange between scientists and decision-makers is becoming increasingly necessary to promote the development of effective decision-support tools (DSTs) for environmental management. Participation of stakeholders in the design process beyond a basic level of consultation is essential for promoting trust in modelled outputs and accelerating eventual uptake of resulting tools and models by end-user communities. This study outline…
Mapping the visual magnitude of popular tourist sites in Edinburgh city
There is value in being able to automatically measure and visualise the visual exposure of city sites (monuments and buildings, tourist sites) – for example, in urban planning, as an aid to automated way finding, or in augmented reality city guides. Here we present the outputs of an algorithm able to calculate visual exposure – both as an absolute measure of the façade area and in terms of a building's perceived size (its lesser importance with d…
Route Ahead Visibility Mapping
Please click here to download the map associated with this article. We examine how visibility analysis may be used to calculate the extent of the route ahead visible to a motorist. To do this a Digital Surface Model sourced from a LiDAR dataset is used, which includes building and vegetation profiles as well as topography. Once the route has been designated the visibility along the path is modelled, in the direction of travel, from the driver's v…
The impact of the ‘school run’ on road traffic accidents
Neighborhood Deprivation and Access to Fast-Food Retailing
Neighbourhoods and health
Objective: Recent studies suggest an association between the contextual attributes of neighbourhoods and the health status of residents. However, there has been a scarcity of studies that have directly measured the material characteristics of neighbourhoods theorised to have an impact on health and health inequalities. This paper describes the development of an innovative methodology to measure geographical access to a range of community resource…
