Topophobic Terrains
What does it mean to fear a place—not for what happens there, but for what it symbolises in the urban imagination? This paper examines Tuan's topophobia as it emerges through the affective textures and moral geographies of everyday life in Siliguri, a medium‐sized Indian city. Drawing on photo‐ethnography, night walks and interviews, it traces how sites—an abandoned theatre, a dim underpass, a silent corridor—become charged with dread through neg…
Everyday Geographies of Night‐Time Fear
Grounded in qualitative research in Siliguri, a rapidly expanding city in eastern India, this paper examined how low‐income residents perceive and negotiate fear of crime after dark. Based on immersive, night‐time ethnographic methods—including narrative interviews, walk‐alongs and sensory observations—this study examines the lived geographies of crime and fear in the everyday urban margins. While extensive literature on fear of crime exists in W…
Claiming the night
In cities of the Global South, the night remains a space unequally inhabited—cast as risky, deviant, or off-limits to those who do not conform to dominant norms of legitimacy and safety. While urban studies have long interrogated spatial injustice, far less attention has been paid to its temporal dimensions ( night-time space )—the shifting exclusions and negotiations that unfold after dark. Centring the question— who gets to claim the night, and…
Cityscapes at Night
Cityscapes undergo a profound transformation as night falls, revealing a vibrant tapestry of leisure and entertainment that becomes the heartbeat of urban life. This nighttime activity, however, often coexists with the complex issue of urban crime. In this bibliometric study, spanning over forty-one years of literature, we explore the nexus between nightlife activities—specifically leisure and entertainment—and their relationship with urban crime…
Intoxication in the city
The rich-poor divide
Hilly terrain and housing wellness
Darjeeling, renowned as the ‘ Queen of the Himalayas ’, is one of the high‐altitude towns in India, distinguished by its exceptional topography and picturesque landscape. Given the challenges posed by limited land availability, susceptibility to natural hazards, and the need for context‐specific housing interventions in such hilly terrains, understanding housing conditions becomes paramount. Thus, this research explores the spatial patterns and h…
Three Decades of GIS Application in Spatial Crime Analysis
Crime exploration using geographic information systems (GIS) has been a topic of interest for decades, but a comprehensive appraisal has yet to be published in the domain. This is the first article to thoroughly explain crime exploration using GIS from a global perspective, analyze its large information base, and assess its evolving dynamics. Bibliometric analysis was carried out using the Bibliometric R-tool and VOSviewer, which are both softwar…
Multiscale GIS based-model to assess urban social vulnerability and associated risk
Towards sustainable society
Multi-influencing factor (MIF) and RS–GIS-based determination of agriculture site suitability for achieving sustainable development of Sub-Himalayan region, India
