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…
A multiscale spatial diagnostic framework for built environment determinants of epidemic risk
Understanding how the built environment shapes epidemic risk at different spatial scales is critical for place-based health research and policy. However, existing studies often assume uniform effects and overlook that explanatory variables may operate at distinct and sometimes nonlinear scales within cities. In this study, we adopt a progressive diagnostic framework to analyze sub-district level built-environment, socioeconomic, and natural ecolo…
Route repetition and activity spaces
Activity spaces are a longstanding geographic concept used to describe the mobility patterns of an individual. The proliferation of disaggregate space-time data now enables a sophisticated network-orientated approach to measuring and visualising these spaces. The current study leverages individual Global Positioning System trajectories from 365 participants over a seven-day period to introduce ‘route repetition’, a novel network-based metric quan…
Modelling carbon generated from individual urban travel activities
Understanding carbon generation from Individual Travel Activities (ITAs) requires moving beyond aggregate household or per-capita measures to examine frequency distributions across diverse set of trip characteristics. Yet, current research lacks a well-established empirical framework operating at a disaggregated level to profile the relationship between ITAs and carbon generation. Drawing on household travel survey data for South East Queensland,…
Diving or thriving? How Covid-19 reshaped Australian short-term rental submarkets
Short-term rental markets are constantly evolving in response to dynamic market conditions. Leveraging the large-scale external market shocks resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper aims to better understand how short-term rental submarkets are formulated in response to changing market conditions. Using sequence analysis on monthly booking records between mid-2019 and the end of 2022 in Australia, this paper identifies six distinct short…
A step in time
The Space-Time Budget (STB) method is used to collect spatial and temporal features of an individual’s activities and is an important technique to explore relationships between the environment and crime. This spatial and temporal approach to the study of everyday activity spaces reveals much about victimisation experiences, the relationship between place, time, and perceptions of safety, and where and when offending may occur. Few studies, howeve…
Planning for livable compact vertical cities
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 …
The Resettlement Journey
In the context of rising global migration and/or forced displacement, there is a pressing need to consider the well-being and life satisfaction of (im)migrants and refugees during resettlement. Research highlights the importance of social connectedness for (im)migrants and refugees during the resettlement phase. Yet, a critical gap remains in our understanding of the key characteristics through which social connections exert their influence on we…
Concern about the health effects of climate change according to experiences of climate events
Australia and United Kingdom (UK) nationally representative surveys of 4,378 adults. • Adults reported climate event experiences and perceived health threats. • 60% of Australians reported experiencing a climate event in the past five years compared to 29% of UK residents. • Heatwaves were the most common experience in both countries. • Climate event experiences accounted for 23-35% of perceived climate health threats. Climate change is now recog…
Hybrid machine learning-based approaches for modeling bikeability
‘Bikeability’ is the quantitative assessment of the aggregate influence of natural and built environment features as barriers or facilitators to bicycling. An emerging field, bikeability research incorporates a diversity of factors and approaches, yielding a variety of results. This variability limits both the generalizability of findings and the practical impacts of this research. This study explores machine learning methods as a pathway toward …
Understanding the impact of social connectedness on health and well-being among refugees in Australia
The health and well-being of refugees are significant global concerns, yet the specific types of social connectedness that most effectively provide the greatest benefits during resettlement remain unclear. This study investigates the impact of social connectedness, including community participation and social ties, on general health and subjective well-being at different stages of the resettlement process. Using three waves of data from the Build…
Gendered spatial mobilities in urban neighbourhoods
An individual’s activity space reflects their physical movement through and exposure to environments, including potentially risky settings. Historically, women’s and men’s activity spaces differed as a function of gendered household responsibilities. There are also gendered dynamics of place including experiences of victimisation, women’s heightened perceptions of victimisation risk, and perceived gendered threat for women that influence gendered…
From communal places to comfort zones
Familiar strangers, individuals who are visually recognisable yet do not engage in verbal conversations, emerge in communal urban places on the way and in between regular daily activities in the home and workplace. Described as invisible social ties and light touch community, familiar strangers represent an understudied and untapped source of sociality that offer promise by way of an antidote to the global increase in reports of loneliness. In th…
Does a 180-day cap on short-term rentals affect housing markets? Evidence from regional New South Wales
Contested Boundaries and Perceptions of Inter-ethnic Disorder
In some neighbourhoods, ethno-racial diversity promotes civility and encourages the development of inter-ethnic connections. In others, it leads to increased feelings of threat, the degradation of shared norms, and inter-ethnic conflict. Extensive research has examined the compositional effects of neighbourhoods on perceived disorder and conflict, although few studies have considered how ethno-racial neighbourhood spatial boundaries influence the…
Historic street layout and its impact on shaping residents’ daily lives
Mapping and measuring neighbourhood social media groups. The case of facebook
Social media is a pervasive part of everyday life. Neighbourhood social media are important community orientated structures that serve as digital platforms where local residents can connect with neighbours, exchange information, and share resources. The current study details an analytic framework to systematically capture, measure and map neighbourhood social media (Facebook groups) presence for a large metropolitan region, Brisbane, Australia. F…
Examining the directionality of mobility patterns in activity spaces
Activity spaces characterise an individual's mobility patterns and provide critical insights important to a broad suite of applications. Emergent forms of disaggregate space-time data offer new opportunities to exploit a more granular approach to measuring and visualising activity spaces. Drawing on individual GPS trajectories for 365 participants covering a seven-day period the current paper presents a new measurement and visualisation framework…
Understanding the association between (im)mobility and life satisfaction in Australia
Stayers are an important component of the internal migration system, yet despite their numerical significance, they are often treated as ancillary to movers in the migration literature. As a result, there is a conflict between the mobility‐centric view of immobility as undesirable and developing narratives which recognise staying as an active and consciously made decision. We therefore need to rethink immobility conceptually and empirically to sh…
Please mind the gap
This study investigates the geographic and annual variations in carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions and fuel consumption generated by private vehicles across Australia's regions over an 18-year period (2002 to 2020). We examine the influence of vehicle numbers, geography, and time on emissions and fuel consumption using spatial analysis alongside panel regression. Emissions remain relatively high in North Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Sout…
The importance of public familiarity for sense of belonging in Brisbane neighborhoods
Spatio‐Temporal Variation in the Bid–Rent Functions of Long‐Term and Short‐Term Rentals
Platform‐mediated short‐term rentals (STRs) are a relatively new addition to the housing landscape, providing accommodation on a temporal scale that falls between hotel stays and long‐term rentals (LTRs). Given the potential for STR hosts to charge significantly higher nightly rates for the same property than they might through an LTR lease enumerated in months or years, many have asked whether a ‘gap’ exists between the two, and how persistent t…
The Role Play and Simulations
Reset or renaissance? An exploratory comparison of pre- and post-pandemic regional short-term rental markets in Australia
Following nearly a decade of unabated growth in the digitally disruptive short-term rental (STR) sector, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 caused a relatively abrupt two-year industry contraction characterised by substantial reductions in participating properties and booking activities. Given the sudden opportunity to rethink how STR markets fit alongside more traditional accommodation arrangements, this unanticipated Black Swan event ca…
Charting a research agenda for micromobility and tourism
Neighbourhood social conduits and resident social cohesion
Given the importance of the neighbourhood context for residents’ social cohesion, the current study examines the association between types of social and non-social places on three indicators of social cohesion: neighbour networks, social cohesion and neighbourhood attachment. We spatially integrate data from the census, topographic databases and a 2012 survey of 4132 residents from 148 neighbourhoods in Brisbane, Australia, and employ multilevel …
Neighbourhood land use features, collective efficacy and local civic actions
This paper explores the association between neighbourhood land use features and informal social control. More specifically, we examine the extent to which such features in combination with the socio-demographic context of the neighbourhood facilitate or impede collective efficacy and local civic actions. We achieve this through spatially integrating data from the census, topographic databases and a 2012 survey of 4132 residents from 148 neighbour…

Decline in internal migration levels in Australia
Levels of internal migration have declined since the 1980s in many advanced economies. Australian studies remain largely descriptive, making it difficult to ascertain the extent to which the decline in aggregate levels of migration is due to shifts in the socio‐demographic composition of the Australian population or driven by deeper behavioural changes. This paper aims to address this gap by applying an Oaxaca‐Blinder decomposition method to indi…
Disasters and crime
This article explores the effects of a significant flood event on levels of property crime across 400 neighborhoods in a capital city in Australia. It considers the degree to which postflood property crime deviates from expected trends in neighborhoods characterized by different sociodemographic profiles. After conducting time series analysis of property crime at the city level, we classify neighborhoods by disaster vulnerability and employ time …
Modelling tourism and hospitality employment clusters
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…
Modelling urban change with cellular automata
The study of land use change in urban and regional systems has been dramatically transformed in the last four decades by the emergence and application of cellular automata (CA) models. CA models simulate urban land use changes which evolve from the bottom-up. Despite notable achievements in this field, there remain significant gaps between urban processes simulated in CA models and the actual dynamics of evolving urban systems. This article ident…
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 …
Effectiveness of Secondary Pregnancy Prevention Programs
Because subsequent pregnancy in teen parents often worsens the impact of adolescent parenting; therefore, a common goal of teenage parent programs has been to reduce repeat pregnancy. To examine the impact of this goal, a meta-analysis was conducted on 16 control-comparison group studies that evaluated the effect of teenage pregnancy and parenting programs on pregnancy rates. At the first follow-up period at which programs assessed outcome (avera…

A regional renaissance? The shifting geography of internal migration under Covid-19
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic there has been interest in the migration of city-dwellers to regional areas to escape lockdowns and movement restrictions, yet evidence of a ‘regional renaissance’ in Australia remains anecdotal. This paper aims to quantify the current and future dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic on the levels, patterns and drivers of migration to and from Australian cities and regions. Results show a 7% drop in the ra…
The Girl on the Bus
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…
Shifting dynamics of Chinese settlement in Australia
The so-called Asian Century has brought with it sweeping changes in the profile of migration to Australia. This paper focuses on examining post-2000 migration from Mainland China, which has rapidly ascended to now become Australia's top non-Commonwealth country of origin. Significantly, the profile of post-2000 Mainland China-born (MC-born) migrants has changed to mirror broader global shifts towards highly skilled, education-related, and investm…
Dealing with urban floods within a resilience framework regarding disaster stages
Has the decline in the intensity of internal migration been accompanied by changes in reasons for migration
The last few decades have seen the intensity of internal migration decline in Australia and other advanced economies including the United States. Recent evidence suggests that changes in the composition of the population alone do not account for this persistent downward trend. This has led migration scholars to suspect that more profound behavioural changes driven by social, economic, and technological transformations are at play and that shifts …
Spatial optimisation of fire service coverage
In the context of changing demand for fire services, spatial optimisation of fire coverage has attracted little scholarly attention despite its potential to improve emergency response and to inform future service planning for fire stations. Drawing on small area population forecasts, this paper extends the application of the Maximum Coverage Location Model to compute and delineate the spatial coverage of current and proposed new fire stations to …
Trapped in Jobless Household Areas
Child disadvantage is an important issue in Australia today and is one of the key policy target areas of the Federal government. Child disadvantage not only affects child wellbeing in the present time but can also inhibit their future achievements. As well as individual- and family-level effects, there is growing evidence that child wellbeing and achievement is highly affected by the environment in which children grow up, and what resources and r…

Neighbourhood places, collective efficacy and crime
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 …
Forty years of internal migration in Australian regions
Australia is one of the most migratory countries in the world, yet as internal migrants typically represent only a small proportion of the population, the impact of stayers and transient populations need to be considered to create a fuller picture of regional population dynamics. To that end, this paper analyses net migration, population turnover, and population retention for 69 Australian regions from 1976 to 2016. Applying sequence analysis to …

Family Treatment of Preschool Behavior Problems
Objective Behavioral problems in youth pose a serious mental health and social issue with early-onset problems associated with particular risk for continuation across the lifespan. Given these risks, social workers in clinical practice must be knowledgeable about empirically validated treatments in this area. Method A literature review was conducted on all family-based interventions with preschool behavior problems to determine the efficacy of va…
Treatment Approaches for Child Welfare Mothers with Addiction Problems
This paper argues that child welfare mothers with addiction problems may require specialized treatment approaches based on their gender. The prevalence of women's problems with addiction and the unique ways addictions manifest themselves in women are discussed. The literature is then used to guide a discussion on the limitations of traditional treatment approaches that have been designed for men and may be of ill service to child welfare mothers.…
Empirically Based Marital and Family Interventions for Alcohol Abuse
The traditional approach to substance-abuse treatment involves the disease model, as promulgated through Alcoholics Anonymous. In this model, the message for relatives and friends of substance users is that their behavior cannot influence the user to either enter treatment or to reduce their substance use. The main emphasis instead is on helping relatives concentrate on their own lives and cultivating a sense of detachment from the drinker. Howev…

Parent Involvement in Treatment for ADHD
Given high rates of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosed in children, knowledge of effective treatment is crucial. To this end, a meta-analysis of parent-involved psychosocial treatment was undertaken to determine its effect on a number of outcomes salient to children with ADHD. Sixteen studies met the criteria for the meta-analysis. Findings indicated that the impact of treatment on ADHD was low compared to comparison and/or…
A Comparison Group Study of Solution-Focused Therapy versus “Treatment-as-Usual” for Behavior Problems in Children
Behavior problems are the most common reason that children and adolescents are referred to treatment. This study presents a rationale for the application of solution-focused therapy to behavior problems and tests this assumption. Children who were referred from the school setting for behavior problems (N = 239) were treated with either solution-focused therapy or “treatment-as-usual” at a school of social work-sponsored mental health clinic. Hypo…
