Spatial perspective on environmental migration
BACKGROUNDDespite the growth of environmental migration studies in recent decades, spatial analyses examining the impact of climate variability on migration within the United States at a finer geographical scale remain limited. OBJECTIVEThis study aims to investigate the environmental aspects of migration and explore the heterogeneous impacts of the environment on age-and place-specific migration patterns at the county level in the United States …
County Partisanship Affects Social Media Posting Behavior During a Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic in the United States has been characterized by political partisan differences and opinions that influenced individual behavior and political policies, correlating with varying outcomes. Measuring these differences in opinion using traditional methods, such as opinion polls, can be costly and provides only a snapshot of sentiment at a given time. Social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) may offer a real-time tool for …
Transformative Pathways for Strengthening Climate‐Resilient Health Systems Among Indigenous Communities
Most climate‐resilience health interventions are designed at the global level, with minimal attention to Indigenous communities' needs. The lack of consideration can lead to unintended harm and exacerbate health risks. This study aims to identify the capacities of Indigenous communities that can serve as transformative pathways in safely adopting global climate‐resilient health approaches within Indigenous contexts, ensuring the aims of the Susta…

Mindfulness, gratitude and sharing are central to berry harvesting practice, sustainability and adaptation in rural Alaska
Berries are the most harvested and valued plant food in Arctic and sub-Arctic communities and are cultural keystone species in the North. Despite deep cultural significance and sustained use across generations, the relationships among berries and people in Arctic regions continue to be underexplored in published research. In this paper, we consider the ways in which people relate to berries and promote berrying in ‘cold’ places using a case study…
Addressing Food Insecurity Through Community Kitchens During the Covid-19 Pandemic
One of the most critical impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic was on food security. Food insecurity increased in many communities, with some showing signs of resilience through autonomously creating community kitchens that enhanced food security and built support networks. These initiatives filled gaps left by government programmes and provided a critical lifeline for vulnerable communities during the pandemic, fostering community solidarity. This pa…
Does market-oriented land conveyance affect regional economic resilience? A spatial and mediation analysis based on 287 Chinese cities
Geographic Realities of Abortion Access in Texas
Restrictive abortion policies have generated reductions in abortion access, increased travel distance to abortion clinics as a result of clinic closures, and produced declines in maternal health outcomes. This study explores the effects of Texas Senate Bill 8 (SB8), the most restrictive bill prior to the overturning of Roe v. Wade , on abortion access in Texas. We used a difference-in-differences approach to explore the heterogeneous effects of S…

How do environmental stressors influence migration? A meta-regression analysis of environmental migration literature
BACKGROUND: The amount of literature on environmental migration is increasing. However, existing studies exhibit contradictory results. A systematic synthesis of the environment-migration relationship is much needed. OBJECTIVE: This study summarizes research findings, calculates the effect sizes of environmental stressors, identifies publication bias, and investigates heterogeneous environmental effects on migration. METHODS: We collected 3,380 e…
Remittances and Livestock Management in Agropastoral Households in Rural Kyrgyzstan
Agropastoralism and international labor migration are livelihood strategies that are interconnected as dominant ways of life across rural Kyrgyzstan. A prevalent rural livelihood strategy-agropastoralism-is closely tied to agrarian semi-nomadic ways of life that link families and communities to the surrounding mountain environment. Another livelihood strategy-international labor migration-links or telecouples communities and income streams to tra…
Collective action improves elite-driven governance in rural development within China
Rural areas are at the forefront of achieving sustainable development goals, and elite actors tend to be the most influential local decision-makers in rural development. Nevertheless, improving the effectiveness of governance by elites and avoiding or redressing “elite capture” remain key challenges for sustainable rural development globally. This research integrates a large-scale quantitative dataset consisting of 604 villages in seven counties …
Assessing dynamics of human vulnerability at community level – Using mobility data
Park access affects physical activity
This study analysed the association between park access and physical activity in an urban context by extracting tweets from the social media platform Twitter. The results show that areas within a 0.5-mile distance to a park correlate with more physical activity than areas farther than that. Park type might be an essential mediator for the correlation between park size and physical activity. This study suggests that geolocated Twitter data are a v…

The Impacts of Highway Expansion on Population Change
The effects of highways on transforming human society and promoting population change have been investigated in several disciplines, including geography, sociology, economics, and planning. Currently, the primary highway construction activity in the nation is highway expansion; however, this expansion has not been the focus of much of the existing literature. This research examines the role that highway expansion plays in the process of populatio…
Highways and Population Change
In this paper we return to an issue often discussed in the literature regarding the relationship between highway expansion and population change. Typically it simply is assumed that this relationship is well established and understood. We argue, following a thorough review of the relevant literature, that the notion that highway expansion leads to increased population growth in the vicinity of the improved infrastructure finds only weak and often…

The Impacts of Transport Accessibility on Population Change across Rural, Suburban and Urban Areas
A large body of research has found that highways and airports have played important roles in promoting development and population growth (or decline). However, little attention has been paid to the possible spatial variation of their effects on population change. This study uses data related to population change in 1980–90 at the minor civil division level in Wisconsin to investigate the effects of highway and airport accessibility and accessibil…
Can knowledge improve population forecasts at subcounty levels
Recent developments in urban and regional planning require more accurate population forecasts at subcounty levels, as well as a consideration of interactions among population growth, traffic flow, land use, and environmental impacts. However, the extrapolation methods, currently the most often used demographic forecasting techniques for subcounty areas, cannot meet the demand. This study tests a knowledge-based regression approach, which has been…
Urbanization and Land-Use Change
Drawing from human ecology, the present study sheds light on the ways in which urbanization drives changes in forest cover at the local level across the continental United States. Using county-level data from the National Land Cover Database and other US governmental sources, the area of forest cover lost in the construction of the built environment between 2001 and 2006 is regressed on the size, density, and social organization of a locality. Co…
Small‐area population forecasting
Demographic forecasting techniques do not perform particularly well for small areas. In this study we propose a spatio‐temporal regression approach for small‐area population forecasting that borrows strength from what has happened nearby and what has happened in the past. In particular, a regression model incorporating temporally lagged neighbour growth and neighbour characteristics is applied to examine population change at the minor civil divis…

Bride kidnapping and gendered labor migration
Because the decision to migrate is a product of gendered negotiations within households, households formed through forced marriage may have different migration strategies than households formed through voluntary marriage. In Kyrgyzstan, we anticipate two possible effects of the traditional practice of bride kidnapping on migration. Households headed by a kidnap couple may be more cohesive and patriarchal, facilitating men's labor migration and re…
Remittances and household spending strategies
Globalized labor migration and remittances can help alleviate household poverty and provide supplemental income in many countries. Kyrgyzstan, like other Central Asian countries, has experienced dramatic geopolitical changes, economic reform, and rapid demographic shifts in the post-Soviet-Union era. Based on measurements of GDP, it is one of the most remittance-dependent countries in the world. This study uses data from the Life in Kyrgyzstan St…
The impact of spatial spillovers on interprovincial migration in China, 2005–10
In a migration network system, any change of regional characteristics may affect outflows and inflows from and to the region itself and potentially its neighbouring regions. To explore the impact of spatial spillovers on interprovincial migration flows in China, we proposed four spatial autoregressive interaction models by introducing different network structures to gravity models. The results indicate that the model taking account of dependence …

Highway Expansion Effects on Urban Racial Redistribution in the Post—Civil Rights Period
A limited number of historical case studies document that highway construction produced significant consequences on racial relationships and redistribution in the early and mid-20th century. Howev er, little is known about how the expansion of an existing highway system influences urban racial redistribution after the legal bases for social and env ironmental justice in highway construction were established. This research uses census data for 197…
Characterizing People's Daily Activity Patterns in the Urban Environment
People’s daily activities in the urban environment are complex and vary by individual. Existing studies using mobile phone data revealed distinct and recurrent transitional activity patterns, known as mobility motifs, in people’s daily lives. The limitation in using only a few inferred activity types hinders our ability to examine general patterns in detail. We proposed a mobility network approach with geographic context-aware Twitter data to inv…
