Priced out of your future? How housing hardship increases adolescents’ exposure to police-initiated contacts. Evidence from the United Kingdom
This study examines how childhood housing tenure instability affects police contacts among adolescents, an underexplored yet consequential dimension of youth interactions with law enforcement. Analyzing data from 10,608 participants in the United Kingdom Millennium Cohort Study (2001–2015), we construct a novel measure of cumulative housing hardship, capturing the compounded effects of frequent residential moves and tenure instability (e.g., grow…
Planning for livable compact vertical cities: A quantitative systematic review of the impact of urban geometry on thermal and visual comfort in high-rise precincts
Robust concepts, methods, and variables support thermal comfort research. • Research on visual privacy and outlook in HR precincts is limited. • Urban geometry influences microclimates and IEQ in HR precincts. • Heterogenous urban form supports thermal and visual comfort. • Further person-oriented and cross-cutting research is advocated. Globally, urbanisation and population growth trends are fundamentally reshaping cities. More compact vertical …

Community resilience to crime: A study of the 2011 Brisbane flood
Understanding and enhancing community resilience is a global priority as societies encounter a rising number of extreme weather events. Given that these events are typically both sudden and unexpected, community resilience is typically examined after the disaster so there can be no before and after comparisons. As such, the extent to which existing community capacities buffer the effects of a traumatic event remains largely unexamined and unteste…
Neighbourhood places, collective efficacy and crime: A longitudinal perspective
Neighbourhood places like shops, cafes and parks support a variety of social interactions ranging from the ephemeral to the intimate. Repeated interactions at neighbourhood places over time lay the foundation for the development of social cohesion and collective efficacy. In this study, we examine the proposition that changes in the presence or arrangement of neighbourhood places can destabilise social cohesion and collective efficacy, which has …

A season for complaints: How does weather affect noise complaints between neighbours
Both built environment and natural environment have physiological and psychological effect on human behaviour, which potentially affect their sensitivity and tolerance to surrounding noise, and leads to annoyance, nuisance, distress or overt actions and aggressive behaviours such as noise complaints to people living neighborly. This study aims to explore the extent weather conditions affect the prevalence of noise complaints between neighbours me…
The socio-spatial determinants of Covid-19 diffusion: The impact of globalisation, settlement characteristics and population
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 is an emergent infectious disease that has spread geographically to become a global pandemic. While much research focuses on the epidemiological and virological aspects of COVID-19 transmission, there remains an important gap in knowledge regarding the drivers of geographical diffusion between places, in particular at the global scale. Here, we use quantile regression to model the roles of globalisation, human settlement and …
The Girl on the Bus: Familiar Faces in Daily Travel and Their Implications for Crime Protection
Hägerstrand proposed that individuals’ daily mobility is constrained to a particular time–space path by capability, coupling, and authority requirements. This tethering of routine activities to particular places at scheduled times facilitates repetitive bundling of individuals at certain nodes. Associations emerging from repeated, cursory encounters between individuals have been coined familiar strangers. “Familiar strangers” is a unique social p…
Transport-related walking among young adults: When and why
The findings of this study show how the proposed data collection and analytic approach can inform urban design to enhance walkability at locations that are likely to generate walking trips. This study's insights can help to shape public education and awareness campaigns that aim to encourage walking trips throughout the day by suggesting locations and times of the day when engaging in these forms of exercise is easiest and least intrusive

D space-time visualization of individual settlement pathways of Mainland China-born migrants in Queensland, Australia
The number of migrants from Mainland China (MC) to Australia have been sharply increasing since 2000 and MC became the largest non-Commonwealth source country in 2011. The integration process of migrants to the host society involves the exposure and movement of migrants to the majority, which is reflected by the settlement pathways of migrants moving from ethnic to non-ethnic communities over time. Most of the existing research regarding migrants…
Community social capital and individual functioning in the post-disaster context
Disasters can have severe and long-lasting consequences for individuals and communities. While scholarly evidence indicates that access to social support can ameliorate their negative impacts, less understood is whether or not neighbourhood social capital can facilitate recovery. This study uses two waves of survey data-collected before and after a significant flood in Brisbane, Australia, in 2011-to examine the relationship between the severity …
Graduate Migration and Regional Development: An International Perspective
Research on women's employment performance and gender gaps in the workplace has received great attention from a variety of disciplines, ranging from management (Maxwell and Broadbridge, 2014) to regional science (Faggian et al., 2007) to psychology (de Araujo and Lagos, 2013).In addition to differences across sectors such as media studies (Ross and Carter, 2011) and technology graduates (Gottlieb and Joseph, 2006), research also examines the time…
Modelling tourism and hospitality employment clusters: A Spatial Econometric Approach
Geographic clustering of industries for mutual economic benefit has long been recognised. The concept of 'externalities' introduced by Alfred Marshall early last century rely on agglomeration of specialised industry within a geographic area. However, only recently has cluster modelling been applied to the tourism and hospitality (T&H) industry. The aim of this paper, therefore, is twofold: first is to develop a cluster-based theoretical framework…
Mapping cities by transit riders' trajectories: The case of Brisbane, Australia
Emerging non-traditional data (NTD) such as transit agencies' smartcard data and Google's General Transit Feed Specifications (GTFS) have made it easier to unveil the way in which public transit remains relevant, reveal how it facilitates daily mobility, and highlight the way in which different locales across a metropolitan area are connected by public transit. Based on a 24-h period of smartcard data for Brisbane (4 March 2014) allied with GTFS …

Mobility Patterns of Overseas Human Capital in Australia: The role of a ‘new’ graduate visa scheme and rural development policy
In 2007, the Australian federal government introduced a 'new' graduate visa scheme, the 485 visa sub-class. This visa facilitates the transition from student to worker for overseas graduates from Australian higher education institutions, with the potential to significantly increase their numbers in the country. At the same time, local governments have introduced various policies designed to attract and retain human capital in rural areas to addre…
Antisocial behaviour: An examination of individual, family, and neighbourhood factors
The present research is the first of its kind in Australia to simultaneously examine individual, family and neighbourhood predictors of adolescent antisocial behaviour. The study draws on two key data sources—Australian Bureau of Statistics census data and the Mater University Study of Pregnancy (MUSP). The MUSP is a prospective longitudinal study of mothers and their children in Brisbane, Australia; the current project draws on data from birth t…

Modelling the Patterns and Drivers of Tourism Related Employment for South-East Queensland, Australia—A Spatial Econometric Approach
Through the application of spatial econometric techniques, this paper examines the spatial patterns of tourism and the role of the underlying geography of urban economic spaces in modelling Tourism Related Employment (TRE) across the South East Queensland (SEQ) region in Australia. Despite a decline in the degree of inequality in the distribution of TRE over the last decade, the SEQ region exhibits a high concentration of TRE along the coast as w…
