Environmental justice in indigenous communities: The disproportionate effects of environmental contamination
Indigenous communities in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania (referred to as the northeastern United States) face disproportionate environmental pollution, with mortality rates 60 % higher than their white counterparts –an inequity that extends beyond formal recognition categories. While previous research has revealed pollution from facilities that cause severe health issues in Indigenous communities, broad geographic studies examining the sp…
Governance Policy Evaluation in the United States during the Pandemic: Nonpharmaceutical Interventions or Else
Scientific evidence suggests that nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) effectively curb the spread of COVID-19 before a pharmaceutical solution. Implementing these interventions also significantly affects regular socioeconomic activities and practices of social, racial, and political justice. Local governments often face conflicting goals during policymaking. Striking a balance among competing goals during a global pandemic is a fine science of…
Seeing the forest and the trees: Holistic view of social distancing on the spread of Covid-19 in China
The human social and behavioral activities play significant roles in the spread of COVID-19. Social-distancing centered non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) are the best strategies to curb the spread of COVID-19 prior to an effective pharmaceutical or vaccine solution. This study investigates various social-distancing measures' impact on the spread of COVID-19 using advanced global and novel local geospatial techniques. Social distancing measu…
Predicting Fecal Indicator Bacteria Using Spatial Stream Network Models in A Mixed-Land-Use Suburban Watershed in New Jersey, USA
Good water quality safeguards public health and provides economic benefits through recreational opportunities for people in urban and suburban environments. However, expanding impervious areas and poorly managed sanitary infrastructures result in elevated concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria and waterborne pathogens in adjacent waterways and increased waterborne illness risk. Watershed characteristics, such as urban land, are often associat…
Environmental justice: An evolving concept in a dynamic era
Studies of environmental justice in the United States started more than four decades ago when an African American dominant community was chosen as the site of a hazardous landfill. Many works have emerged since then, evolving around the concepts of distribution justice, representation justice, and recognition justice. Scholars attempt to address the environmental justice topic from a wide range of angles with multiple modern research methods. As …
How Neighborhood Characteristics Influence Neighborhood Crimes: A Bayesian Hierarchical Spatial Analysis
Urban crimes are a severe threat to livable and sustainable urban environments. Many studies have investigated the patterns, causes, and strategies for curbing the occurrence of urban crimes. It is found that neighborhood socioeconomic status, physical environment, and ethnic composition all might play a role in the occurrence of urban crimes. Inspired by the recent interest in exploring urban crime patterns with spatial data analysis techniques …
China's place attractivity, population mobility and its mechanisms: Perspectives from a full spectrum of spatial analyses
Understanding the potential mechanisms of population mobility is important in population studies. The current study calculates a place attractivity score and collects 12 socioeconomic and natural condition factors at the prefecture‐level in China. A full spectrum of spatial autoregression and eigenfunction‐based spatial filtering models are employed to investigate the relationship between place attractivity and the factors at the global level, wh…
Low fertility spread in China: A blended adaptation and diffusion explanation
Based on blended diffusion theory which reconciles the two mechanisms of fertility change (due to adaptation to social structure change or due to diffusion), this study examines the role of adaptation and diffusion of China's low fertility in the first decade of the 21st century. A two‐period panel data set on fertility for 358 prefecture‐level administrative units assembled in 2000 and 361 in 2010 population census is used. Exploratory and confi…

The varying effects of accessing high-speed rail system on China’s county development: A geographically weighted panel regression analysis
How does spatial proximity to the high-speed railway system affect inter-city market segmentation in China: A spatial panel analysis
The construction of the high-speed railway (HSR) system in China has improved cities’ interconnectedness. We contend that the improved interconnectedness will likely strengthen economic interaction among cities, particularly cross-border trade integration. Employing a spatial panel fixed effect error model with prefecture-level city data from 2008 to 2013, this paper evaluates how cities’ proximity to the HSR system affects urban market integrati…

Urban agglomeration: An evolving concept of an emerging phenomenon
Urban agglomeration is a highly developed spatial form of integrated cities. It occurs when the relationships among cities shift from mainly competition to both competition and cooperation. Cities are highly integrated within an urban agglomeration, which renders the agglomeration one of the most important carriers for global economic development. Studies on urban agglomerations have increased in recent decades. In the research community, a conse…

Results indicated that the percentage of Hispanic residents and median household income …
Understanding regional development mechanisms in Greater Beijing Area, China, 1995–2001, from a spatial–temporal perspective
Assessing Urban Public Safety via Indicator-Based Evaluating Method: A Systemic View of Shanghai
Scale, Agglomeration, and Regional Inequality in Provincial China
This study analyses regional development in provincial China through a case study of Jiangsu following the multi‐scale and multi‐mechanism framework. We have revealed a trend of increasing regional inequality and find it is mainly a result of the rapid development of Sunan (Southern Jiangsu), which also results in rising rural inter‐county inequality. Subei (northern Jiangsu) faces more challenges due to the strong effects of self‐reinforcing agg…
Analyzing Regional Inequality in Post-Mao China in a GIS Environment
Regional inequality in China has attracted considerable scholarly attention, but the use of geographic information system (GIS) techniques for rigorous analysis remains limited. This paper utilizes recent data and GIS and spatial statistical techniques to analyze changing patterns of regional inequality in China from 1978 to 2000. It also identifies the changing clusters of regional development in China. We illustrate that regional inequality in …
