Scope & Guideline
Innovating Methodologies for a Changing Earth
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Socio-Environmental Dynamics:
Research focusing on the interplay between human activities and environmental changes, exploring issues such as climate variability, urbanization, and resource management. - Territorial Governance and Planning:
Studies that analyze the frameworks of governance affecting land use, urban planning, and community resilience in various Latin American contexts. - Cultural Landscapes and Heritage:
Research that investigates the relationship between culture, identity, and geography, highlighting how historical and contemporary practices shape landscapes and community memories. - Migration and Displacement:
Exploration of migration patterns, forced displacement, and the socio-political implications for both urban and rural areas in Latin America. - Methodological Innovations:
The journal promotes new methodologies in geography, including participatory approaches, spatial analysis, and the use of remote sensing technologies.
Trending and Emerging
- Climate Change and Resilience:
There is a growing emphasis on climate change impacts and community resilience strategies, particularly in the context of natural disasters and environmental degradation affecting urban and rural areas. - Urbanization and Spatial Inequality:
Research focusing on urbanization processes and the resulting spatial inequalities has surged, addressing issues like housing, migration, and socio-economic disparities in rapidly growing cities. - Cultural and Creative Economies:
Emerging studies on the role of cultural tourism and creative economies highlight their impact on local development and identity, suggesting a shift towards understanding economic dynamics through cultural lenses. - Digital Geographies and New Workspaces:
The rise of remote work and digital nomadism has prompted research into new spatial dynamics and the implications for urban planning and social interactions. - Participatory and Community-Based Research:
An increase in participatory methodologies indicates a trend towards involving local communities in research processes, enhancing the relevance and applicability of geographical studies.
Declining or Waning
- Historical Geography:
Research on historical geography, particularly studies that examine colonial and post-colonial landscapes, has decreased, suggesting a potential shift towards contemporary issues over historical contexts. - Indigenous Rights and Land Issues:
Although still relevant, the frequency of publications addressing indigenous rights and land conflicts has waned, possibly overshadowed by broader socio-political themes. - Traditional Ecological Knowledge:
The exploration of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) appears to be less prominent, indicating a potential underrepresentation of indigenous practices in current geographical studies. - Environmental Justice:
Themes related to environmental justice, while still important, have seen a reduction in dedicated studies, potentially reflecting a broader focus on governance and policy rather than grassroots movements.
