Climate change sensing across work and home: A research diary experiment
As we contend with climate change, understanding its impacts on our everyday lives and work becomes increasingly crucial. In this paper, we applied research diaries as an innovative qualitative method to better understand how we, a team of climate change researchers in Melbourne (Australia), experience, sense, and make sense of and adapt to climate change. Our approach documents how we sense climate change in the individual and collective spaces …
Comparative peripheries and decarbonising the uneven geographies of academia
International travel is a key source of academic greenhouse gas emissions and, therefore, is a priority for the sector's decarbonisation efforts. However, legacies of colonisation and carbon-intensive development mean that the global geography of knowledge production and exchange is highly concentrated in Europe and North America, notwithstanding increased access through decarbonisation initiatives such as conference hubs. This commentary draws o…
Covid-19, Shifting Urban Growth Dynamics and Preferences for Regional Living in Australia
Stated preference surveys and qualitative engagement were used to examine the potential for change in Australian urban growth dynamics. We found that residents with strong preferences for large and mid-sized cities appear unlikely to change their preferences. However, 21 percent of individuals currently living in large cities were open to moving to mid-sized cities. 54 percent of respondents placed a high importance on quality of life, local heal…
How does climate change impact people who use alcohol and other drugs? A scoping review of peer reviewed literature
Impacts of climate change for people who use substances have not been classified. • Studies suggest increased substance use is likely, but will not occur consistently. • Other effects include service disruption, unplanned withdrawal and heat vulnerability. • Changed drug markets and mental health consequences will also impact users. • Few studies address impacts in developing countries or of long-term climatic shifts. The world has experienced de…
The jobs of climate adaptation
As climate change impacts human systems, associated adaptation efforts are beginning to shape the quality of life in cities and other places. How the work of climate change adaptation is being undertaken, by whom, where and for whose benefit, has important justice and equity outcomes. Increasingly, adaptation work is being formalised into paid jobs. This emerging field of work has been rarely studied, but it is important to understand because the…
Vocational education for regional health: The role of training in economic transitions
Vocational education has a crucial role in regional labour markets, providing skills to meet local employment demand. In many regional areas of Australia, there has been a transition in employment from manufacturing and agriculture to service industries. The increase in employment has been most evident in the health and community services sector and particularly in care-based occupations, which has also changed the composition of regional labour …
Project Assessment for Local Government Advocacy
The infrastructure deficit, continued population growth and expanding urbanisation at the fringe of cities has been the subject of criticism, however, it remains important to consider how best to address the social, economic, health and environmental issues. This practice review sets out a method for multi-criteria analysis of infrastructure project proposals in outer suburban growth areas, undertaken by an independent team with knowledge of the …
Suburban Liveability and Post-pandemic Workplace Transitions
While the extent of working from home post-pandemic is still uncertain, it has been seen as offering potential to revitalise suburbs. However, where such benefits accrue is dependent on the residential distribution of people in work-from-home suitable occupations. This paper investigates the correlations between concentrations of workers in work-from-home suitable occupations with suburban liveability and socioeconomic factors within Melbourne, A…
Internal migration and settlement patterns in Australia's regional urban centres
The distribution of population between metropolitan regions and their rural counterparts is a topic of interest, due to the growth pressures in large cities and areas of decline in some, typically remote regions. In Australia, fostering population growth in regional urban centres (RUCs) has been a long‐term goal of government policy. Understanding the different profiles, structures, and population dynamics of Australia's RUCs is critical in infor…
Understanding the lived experience and benefits of regional cities
This research investigates the lived experience of regional city residents (in five case studies) to understand how the benefits and disadvantages of regional city life are perceived and explore attitudes towards population growth.
The Distribution of People and Employment in Metropolitan Commutersheds: The Impact on Rural Housing Markets
The concentration of population in the major metropolitan cities has again become prominent in public debate in Australia. Politicians and commentators have called for an increase in the population of rural areas by improving commuter access to metropolitan employment through infrastructure investments that facilitate commuting from regional places of residence to metropolitan places of work, referred to as metro-bound commuters. This article inv…
The limits of telecommuting: Policy challenges of counterurbanisation as a pandemic response
A prominent aspect of many people's experiences of the COVID‐19 pandemic has been a practice known as telecommuting, which typically involves working from home. Telecommuting has been a key response to the COVID‐19 pandemic, and it has translated into an increasingly and explicitly expressed desire to move out of cities and into nonmetropolitan areas where housing is less dense and infection rates are lower. This interest in counterurbanisation i…
