Smart Citizens Enabling Resilient Neighbourhoods (SCERN): Participatory mapping platform for resilience planning at a neighbourhood scale
The Role of Social Media in Building Pandemic Resilience in an Urban Community: A Qualitative Case Study
This paper explores the influence of social media in fostering resilience within an urban spatial context, specifically in Bangalore, India, during the COVID-19 lockdown, a period marked by a surge in digital communication due to movement restrictions. To control the rapid spread of the virus, over 1.38 billion people were given stay-at-home orders by the government of India during the onset of the pandemic. The restrictions in movement forced in…
Canada's Federal Electoral Districts, 1867–2021: New Digital Boundary Files and a Comparative Investigation of District Compactness
We introduce new data resources to enable spatial and nonspatial research on Canadian elections, electoral history and political geography. These include a comprehensive set of distinct identification codes for every federal electoral district in Canada from 1867 to the present, a complete set of digital boundary files for these electoral districts, historical census data aggregated to federal electoral districts, and tools to connect our distric…
The Characteristics and Geographic Origins of King Harold Godwineson’s Army at the Battle of Hastings
The Battle of Hastings is without question one of the more important conflicts in English history, representing the last time England was successfully invaded by a foreign power. Reflecting this fact, there are literally hundreds of accounts that seek to examine and explain precisely what happened when opposing English and Norman forces met in Sussex on 14 October 1066. Although much has been written about the men who actually fought there, surpr…
The Battle of Hastings, A Cartographic Narrative
The Battle of Hastings (1066) is one of the most widely studied battles in medieval history. Yet despite the importance that research shows geography to play in the outcome of such conflicts, academic studies on the battle have yet to provide a researched-based cartographic analysis of the battle. This study, consequently, seeks to map the battle to scale to examine the size and impact of geographic factors in understanding the events that shaped…
Mapping the Pevensey Area Back to 1066: The Historical Environmental Evidence
To date, few studies on the Battle of Hastings, one of the most important battles in European history, have presented historical maps depicting the campaign area at the time in detail. As an example of where maps can contribute to our knowledge on the battle/campaign, this article examines the pre-battle Norman landing site and associated land uses around eleventh-century Pevensey by combining information from earlier maps with environmental stud…
