Geograficando
Scope & Guideline
Advancing Geographical Research for a Sustainable Future
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Urban and Territorial Planning:
The journal emphasizes research on urban and territorial planning processes, examining how space is produced and managed in metropolitan regions, with particular attention to the dynamics of urban-port areas and the implications for local governance. - Socio-environmental Issues:
Geograficando delves into socio-environmental vulnerabilities, exploring how urban populations are affected by environmental changes, and how these vulnerabilities can be mapped and analyzed for effective decision-making. - Collective Action and Social Movements:
The journal highlights the role of collective action in shaping urban spaces and policies, focusing on case studies of grassroots movements, cooperatives, and community-led initiatives in various urban contexts. - Agroecology and Sustainable Practices:
Research on agroecology is a core focus, exploring alternatives to agro-extractivism and examining local production practices that promote sustainability and resilience within communities. - Cultural and Socio-political Geography:
The journal investigates the intersections of culture, politics, and geography, addressing how cultural narratives and political actions influence spatial practices and territorial identities.
Trending and Emerging
- Sustainable Urban Mobility:
Research focusing on sustainable transportation systems and urban mobility has gained prominence, addressing the need for environmentally friendly and efficient transportation solutions in rapidly urbanizing areas. - Impact of Climate Change on Urban Spaces:
There is an increasing focus on the effects of climate change on urban environments, with studies exploring adaptation strategies and resilience planning in cities facing environmental challenges. - Participatory Mapping and Citizen Science:
Emerging themes include participatory mapping and citizen science, which empower communities to engage in spatial planning and decision-making processes, fostering a more democratic approach to geography. - Social Justice and Urban Equity:
The journal is increasingly publishing research that addresses social justice issues and urban equity, investigating how urban policies affect different demographics and advocating for inclusive practices in urban planning. - Technological Integration in Geography:
The use of technology in geographical research, such as GIS and remote sensing, is on the rise, reflecting a trend towards data-driven analyses and innovative methodologies that enhance spatial understanding.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Urban Studies:
There appears to be a waning interest in conventional urban studies that do not integrate socio-environmental perspectives or community engagement, as newer research focuses more on participatory approaches and the impacts of urbanization on marginalized groups. - Historical Analysis of Urban Development:
While historical perspectives remain valuable, the frequency of papers solely focused on historical analyses of urban development seems to be decreasing, as the journal shifts towards contemporary issues and practical solutions for current urban challenges. - Economic Geographies of Neoliberalism:
Research specifically examining the economic geographies under neoliberal frameworks has diminished, possibly due to a growing emphasis on alternative economic models and social equity rather than solely critiquing neoliberal policies.
