Scope & Guideline
Exploring the Dynamics of Our Planet
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Historical Geography and Cartography:
The journal emphasizes the importance of historical geography and cartography, exploring how historical land use patterns and cartographic practices shape contemporary understanding of geographic spaces. - Geospatial Analysis and GIS:
Research often employs geospatial analysis techniques and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze historical cadastral data, urban landscapes, and environmental changes. - Socio-Spatial Dynamics:
Estudios Geograficos investigates socio-spatial dynamics, including migration patterns, urbanization, and the socio-economic impacts of geographical changes in both historical and contemporary contexts. - Cultural and Environmental Heritage:
The journal contributes to the discourse on cultural and environmental heritage, examining how landscapes are valued, preserved, and transformed over time. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
It promotes interdisciplinary approaches that incorporate insights from history, sociology, environmental science, and urban studies to provide a holistic view of geographical issues.
Trending and Emerging
- Geohistorical Sources and Cadastral Studies:
There is an increasing trend towards the use of geohistorical sources and cadastral studies, emphasizing the relevance of historical data in understanding contemporary geographical issues. - Impact of Climate Change:
Research addressing the impacts of climate change on urban environments and landscapes is gaining traction, reflecting a broader concern for sustainability and adaptation strategies. - Migration and Labor Dynamics:
The exploration of migration patterns, particularly in relation to labor dynamics during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, has become a significant focus, highlighting the interplay between geography and socio-economic conditions. - Cultural Landscape Valorization:
Emerging studies on the valorization of cultural landscapes reflect a growing interest in heritage conservation and the socio-political implications of landscape management. - Urban Resilience and Planning:
Themes surrounding urban resilience, particularly in the context of metropolitan environments and their adaptability to changing socio-economic conditions, are increasingly prominent.
Declining or Waning
- Contemporary Urban Issues:
There has been a noticeable decrease in research focusing on contemporary urban issues, such as urban crime and gentrification, which were more prominent in earlier publications. - Quantitative Economic Geography:
Studies specifically oriented towards quantitative economic geography, including detailed economic modeling, appear to be less frequent, indicating a shift towards qualitative analyses. - Traditional Agricultural Studies:
Research centered solely on traditional agricultural practices and their geographical implications has waned, with a noticeable shift towards more integrated approaches that consider broader socio-economic factors. - Historical Mapping Techniques:
The exploration of traditional historical mapping techniques has decreased as the journal increasingly prioritizes modern methodologies, such as GIS and digital cartography.
