Aims and Scopes

Estudios Socioterritoriales is a journal dedicated to the exploration of socio-territorial dynamics, emphasizing the interplay between social, economic, and environmental factors in urban and rural contexts. The journal aims to foster interdisciplinary research that contributes to the understanding of territorial issues in Latin America, particularly Argentina.
  1. Socio-Territorial Dynamics:
    The journal focuses on the interactions between social structures and territorial configurations, examining how these dynamics influence urban development, migration patterns, and community organization.
  2. Environmental and Sustainability Studies:
    Research in this area emphasizes environmental challenges and sustainability practices, exploring the impact of human activities on natural resources and the importance of sustainable management strategies.
  3. Urban Studies and Planning:
    The journal publishes studies related to urbanization, land use, and planning processes, investigating how cities evolve and how policies affect urban spaces and residents' quality of life.
  4. Rural Development and Agricultural Policies:
    This area covers the socio-economic aspects of rural territories, focusing on agricultural practices, rural livelihoods, and the socio-political context surrounding rural development.
  5. Cultural and Social Geography:
    Research also includes cultural dimensions of geography, exploring how identity, community, and cultural practices shape and are shaped by territorial contexts.
  6. Methodological Innovations in Geography:
    The journal encourages methodological advancements in geographic research, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method approaches to better understand complex territorial phenomena.
The journal has shown an evolving focus over recent years, with emerging themes reflecting current socio-political and environmental challenges. This section identifies the trending topics that are gaining traction in recent publications.
  1. Urban Resilience and Sustainability:
    A growing emphasis on urban resilience highlights the need for cities to adapt to climate change and socio-economic pressures, reflecting a broader global trend towards sustainable urban development.
  2. Social Inequality and Justice in Urban Contexts:
    Recent publications increasingly address issues of social inequality, spatial justice, and the impacts of socio-economic disparities on urban populations, indicating a shift towards more socially-oriented geographic research.
  3. Migration and Transnationalism:
    Research on migration patterns and transnational communities has gained prominence, reflecting the complex socio-territorial dynamics resulting from globalization and regional migration flows.
  4. Participatory and Community-Based Planning:
    There is a notable increase in studies focusing on participatory approaches to planning and governance, emphasizing community involvement in decision-making processes and territorial management.
  5. Technological Impacts on Territorial Development:
    Emerging themes related to the influence of technology on urban and rural development are becoming more prevalent, exploring how digital tools and innovations can contribute to sustainable practices and community engagement.

Declining or Waning

While certain themes have been central to the journal's discourse, others appear to be diminishing in frequency or relevance. This section highlights those topics that have seen a decline in publication, suggesting a shift in research focus within the journal's scope.
  1. Historical Land Use Studies:
    Research focusing on historical land use patterns and their impacts has been less prominent in recent publications, indicating a possible shift towards contemporary issues rather than retrospective analyses.
  2. Traditional Economic Models in Geography:
    There seems to be a waning interest in conventional economic geography approaches, which may be overshadowed by more integrated and interdisciplinary perspectives that consider social, environmental, and political factors.
  3. Local Governance and Policy Analysis:
    Although still relevant, the frequency of papers analyzing local governance structures and policy impacts has decreased, suggesting a potential shift towards broader, systemic analyses of socio-territorial issues.
  4. Focus on Tourism as a Sole Economic Driver:
    While tourism remains an important theme, the singular focus on tourism as an economic driver has lessened, as researchers increasingly integrate tourism into broader discussions of sustainable development and community resilience.
  5. Static Urban Models:
    The traditional static models of urban analysis are being replaced by dynamic systems approaches, indicating a decline in interest in models that do not account for the complexities of urban change.
