POPULATION AND ENVIRONMENT
Scope & Guideline
Advancing Interdisciplinary Insights for a Sustainable Future
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Population-Environment Interactions:
The journal prioritizes studies that examine how demographic changes, such as migration, fertility rates, and aging populations, impact environmental conditions and resource use. - Impact of Climate Change:
Research on the effects of climate change on human populations, including health outcomes, migration patterns, and socio-economic implications, is a core focus. - Social Vulnerability and Resilience:
The journal emphasizes the importance of social factors, such as inequality and vulnerability, in understanding how populations respond to environmental stressors. - Health and Environmental Quality:
It explores the relationship between environmental quality (e.g., air and water pollution) and public health, particularly among vulnerable populations. - Methodological Innovations:
The journal encourages the use of diverse methodologies, including quantitative modeling, qualitative research, and mixed methods, to address complex population-environment issues.
Trending and Emerging
- Climate Migration and Displacement:
An increasing number of studies focus on how climate change drives migration and displacement, emphasizing the need for understanding the socio-economic implications of these movements. - Health Impacts of Environmental Change:
There is a growing trend in exploring the health implications of environmental changes, particularly how climate and pollution affect vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly. - Social Inequality and Environmental Justice:
Research on environmental justice, particularly how socio-economic status influences vulnerability to environmental hazards, is gaining prominence. - Complex Household Dynamics:
Emerging studies are examining the complexity of household structures and their implications for environmental decision-making and resource management. - Integrated Approaches to Sustainability:
There is a notable increase in interdisciplinary research that integrates social, environmental, and economic factors to propose sustainable solutions to population-environment challenges.
Declining or Waning
- Historical Population Studies:
Research focusing on historical population dynamics and their environmental impacts has seen a decline, possibly overshadowed by more contemporary issues related to climate change. - Static Demographic Models:
There is a waning interest in traditional demographic models that do not account for environmental variables, as newer, integrated approaches gain popularity. - Single-Factor Analyses:
Studies that isolate single factors (like economic variables) without considering the broader environmental context are becoming less common, as the field moves towards more holistic analyses. - Urbanization Effects:
The focus on urbanization as a standalone theme is decreasing, with more emphasis now placed on rural and peri-urban interactions with environmental changes. - Disaster Recovery Studies:
Research specifically centered around disaster recovery processes is less frequent, as attention shifts to proactive measures and adaptation strategies.
