Does Product Market Competition Promote or Reduce Firms’ Corporate Social Responsibility Behavior? How Stakeholder Attention Shapes Responsiveness to Stakeholders
Does product market competition (PMC) promote or reduce firms’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) behavior? While some studies suggest that CSR is a differentiation strategy that leads to a positive relationship between PMC and CSR, others consider CSR a discretionary cost that firms in competitive markets should avoid. Drawing on instrumental stakeholder theory and research on organizational attention, we aim to clarify the extent to which CS…
Linking Parasite, People and Places: The Food Networks of Liver Fluke Infection
One of the top ten foodborne parasitic infections of global concern is human infection of liver fluke through the consumption of raw or undercooked freshwater fish. This article examines the influences of human-environmental interactions of raw fish sharing and procurement connections on the geographic variation in liver fluke infection. We first discuss the networks embedded in the parasite life cycle that propagates disease transmission. Then, …
The Networked Community of Urban Mobility during the Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has altered urban mobility patterns as various travel restrictions were imposed at different stages of the pandemic. Such dynamics inevitably affect the structure of urban spatial interactions underlying disease spreading. Understanding the spatial interaction structure and its dynamics is crucial for disease control. Through detecting networked communities, we identified latent movement boundaries emerged from actual human …
Does urbanisation lead to unhealthy diets? Longitudinal evidence from Indonesia
Urbanization is generally believed to contribute to dietary patterns that increase the risk of non-communicable disease (NCD). However, empirical evidence using nuanced measures of urbanization and longitudinal data is limited. This study examines the link between urbanization and dietary patterns in Indonesia, the largest country in Southeast Asia, between 2000 and 2015. Results show that urbanisation is associated with dietary patterns conduciv…
Keeping bio‐alive in geography education
With the rapid changes our planet is undergoing, biogeography plays a key role in addressing real‐world issues such as species distribution change. However, biogeography is a discipline lacking a strong presence in education. This paper examines various curricula from Asia, the United Kingdom, and United States to understand the current status of biogeography education. We found that while some biogeographic concepts, especially those around biod…
Assessing urban‐rural climate resilience of metropolitan Yangon, Myanmar
Globally, communities are constantly responding and coping with risks due to climate and land‐use land‐cover change. In Southeast Asia, impacts from these changes are evident in hydro‐meteorological hazards that are projected to increase in anomaly, frequency and magnitude. In response to these risks, the concept of climate‐community resilience is widely applied in research and policy‐making. Although previous studies have adopted index‐based app…
Anticipatory Marine Conservation Outcomes: Management Scenarios for Whale Shark in Southeast Asia
The whale shark is a globally endangered species that is distributed in tropical and warm temperate waters. This study modeled the present-day and future habitat suitability of this species in the Sunda tectonic plate region in Southeast Asia to identify changes and highlight potential areas for conservation. Presence data from the International Union for Conservation of Nature were combined with six environment variables to model habitat suitabi…
Competing space and place identity with landscape change analysis using Web GIS through Singapore historical maps (1828–2015)
The investigation of historical maps is fundamental to understanding the dynamics of landscape changes. In this study, we propose Web GIS tools as a way to compare historical maps efficiently for knowledge production. A key impetus of this article is to contribute to the ongoing efforts to broaden the appeal of ‘mixed‐methods research’ by bridging the epistemological and methodological gaps between GIS and qualitative methodologies in knowledge p…

Dam Influences on Liver Fluke Transmission: Fish Infection and Human Fish Consumption Behavior
Infectious diseases associated with dams in many parts of the world suggest a strong possibility of similar occurrence in Southeast Asia, but little is known about the influences of dams on disease occurrences in Southeast Asia, where a wide range of water-related diseases are present. An important public health issue in Southeast Asia is opisthorchiasis, the infection from liver fluke spread by ingesting raw or undercooked freshwater fish. This …

Integrating Multi‐Sensor Remote Sensing Data for Land Use/Cover Mapping in a Tropical Mountainous Area in Northern Thailand
Accurate mapping of land use/cover conditions provides essential information for managing natural resources and is critical for further examination of land use/cover change and its subsequent impacts on the environment. Remote sensing offers a means of acquiring land use/cover data in a timely manner, with optical remote sensing images commonly being used in land use/cover related studies. The persistent cloud cover during the rainy season in Sou…

How Do Snails Meet Fish? Landscape Perspective Needed to Study Parasite Prevalence
Dynamics of Land Surface Temperature in Response to Land-Use/Cover Change: Dynamics of Land Surface Temperature
In this study, we employed Geographical Information Systems and remote sensing techniques to investigate the impact of land-use/cover change on land surface temperature (LST) in a rapidly urbanisation city, Kunming in south-west China. Spatial patterns of LST and land use for 1992 and 2006 were derived from Landsat images to examine how LST responded to urban growth. Remote sensing indices were used to quantify land-use types and employed as expl…

Issues, Images, and Strategies in 2000 International Elections: Spain, Taiwan, and the Russian Federation
In the 1st year of the second millennium, the world paid witness to presidential election campaigns in numerous countries worldwide. For the first time ever in Spain's democratic history, a center right party, the Popular Party, won the election by an absolute majority. During the presidential campaign in 2000, the People's Republic of China also celebrated a first: the first time an opposition party beat the Kuo Ming Tang, the incumbent politica…
