Trust and Trade-Offs: Gendered Responses to Tap Water Insecurity and Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Policies
Gendered decision making around household water use and spending is well-documented in the Global South but remains under-explored in the United States. This study examines how gender and trust in tap water influence caregivers’ use of bottled or filtered water, sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption, and attitudes toward SSB taxation in California’s San Joaquin Valley, one of the state’s most environmentally burdened regions. We analyze surv…
Do comprehensive plans plan to prevent displacement? An analysis of four regions experiencing gentrification in the United States
This study assesses whether jurisdictions’ comprehensive or general plans mention gentrification, given that gentrification impacts vulnerable communities’ long-term economic outlook, health, and quality of life. We focus on plans in four regions – Southern California, the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, and Portland, Oregon. In our content analysis, only 23 of 308 jurisdictions that adopted plans between 1990 and 2020 mention gentrificati…
From "trust" to "trustworthiness: Retheorizing dynamics of trust, distrust, and water security in North America
Assumptions of trust in water systems are widespread in higher-income countries, often linked to expectations of "modern water." The current literature on water and trust also tends to reinforce a technoscientific approach, emphasizing the importance of aligning water user perceptions with expert assessments. Although such approaches can be useful to document instances of distrust, they often fail to explain why patterns differ over time, and acr…
Exploring the nexus between social vulnerability, built environment, and the prevalence of Covid-19: A case study of Chicago
Uneven Urbanscape: Spatial Structures and Ethnoracial Inequality
Uneven Urbanscape takes a new theoretically grounded view of how society produces and reproduces ethnoracial economic inequality. Drawing on empirically rich documentation and quantitative analysis utilizing multiple data sources, including the US Bureau of the Census, Ong and Gonzalez assess the patterns, causes, and consequences of urban spatial disparities, specifically in home ownership, employment, and education. They focus on the global cit…

Improperly-zoned, spatially-marginalized, and poorly-served? An analysis of mobile home parks in Los Angeles County
Public Drinking Water System Coverage and Its Discontents: The Prevalence and Severity of Water Access Problems in California's Mobile Home Parks
Existing evidence regarding drinking water access and environmental service access more broadly suggests that service provision is substandard in mobile home parks (MHPs). Insufficient water access conditions are particularly troubling given that a substantial proportion of the population resides in MHPs. There have been few targeted studies on environmental service conditions, much less water access conditions within parks. To address this pauci…
Triangulating Neighborhood Knowledge to Understand Neighborhood Change: Methods to Study Gentrification
Neighborhood change is a complex phenomenon that may result in a range of physical, demographic, and economic changes in a locality. Using four case studies of transit neighborhoods in Los Angeles, this study utilizes a mixed-methods approach to examine a particular aspect of neighborhood change—gentrification. The article also compares and contrasts the type of data gathered by different methods to help us understand each method’s potential and …
