Incorporating sensory data presents an inclusive understanding of both physical and socio-cultural dynamics of urban space. Drawing on the methodology and findings of the walking method used in the Cittaslow Metropolis research project based in Izmir, Turkey, the paper demonstrates how spatially evoked sensorial experiences can inform and enrich inclusive urban policy development. The paper introduces a novel ‘sensorial approach to urban policy making’, locating sensorial experiences as a central analytical category that emphasize the integration of embodied, place-based knowledge. While critiquing the overreliance on standard quantitative methods, this paper also articulates the need for further interdisciplinary research combining qualitative and quantitative techniques of sensorial analysis, thereby supporting more inclusive urban policy making.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12497,"journal":{"name":"Geoforum","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 104388"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144852111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We illustrate these different ways of doing globalization with accounts of democratic innovation practices that seek to spread “mini-publics” as a new form of deliberative democracy. At first glance, this may appear to be the McDonaldization of democracy, referring to Ritzer’s model of globalization as a worldwide expansion of Western functionalist management and standardization. On closer inspection, however, we find that three different ways of doing globalization coexist, each associated with different ways of doing social order and space. We propose the ontographic approach to account for this diversity.

Methodologically, it shows how existing approaches which start from either the one or the other end of the nexus tend to crowd out the central place of political processes. Starting with climate in the elaboration of the causal path, and despite multiple attempts to overcome all-to-easy determinisms, the analysis still tends to externalize nature in the explanation. Starting from violent conflict for the analysis of environmental security, it similarly sees war as something external to political processes, which a conceptual switch to think security from peace would avoid. These shortcomings lead to a proposed change in the research design. While the classical setup is a typical outside-in design, where the domestic institutions provide the intervening variables to explain diverse outcomes for similar climate facts, the more socio-political design is inside-out in that it starts from the perceptions and understandings of the local actors, as well as the socio-political processes, such as the social conventions and repertoires of conflict resolution mechanisms, that may lead to resilience, conflict or peace under certain climatic conditions, also affecting the latter. Finally, the article engages with the normative problem of political agency under potentially radical uncertainty. It discusses an ethics of prudence as a possible solution, showing its attraction and limits as a relatively empty signifier that relies on moderation and lessons of the past.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12497,"journal":{"name":"Geoforum","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 104380"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144831615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we further develop and adapt the conceptualization of global innovation systems to the case in which system resources of a focal innovation system are mobilized from adjacent innovation systems, building on the literature on technology interactions. Empirically, we demonstrate how multi-scalar resource mobilizations between two innovation systems emerge in the case of the evolving spatially sticky innovation system of bamboo building technologies, which draws system resources from the more mature market-anchored innovation system of timber building technologies. We find that the bamboo system mobilizes legitimacy, knowledge, and market resources from the timber system in a commensal relationship, meaning that the bamboo system benefits while the timber system is not affected by the interaction. Given the footloose nature of knowledge resources in the timber system, compared to the system’s spatially sticky valuation-related resources, the former are more easily mobilized across systems than the latter. Moreover, we posit that the distinct spatial anchoring of both systems hinders further cross-system resource mobilization. Our paper contributes to geographical innovation and transition research by providing a conceptual lens for understanding resource mobilization across innovation system boundaries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12497,"journal":{"name":"Geoforum","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 104378"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144813987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conserving local honeybee populations via a “conservation by utilization” approach is thought to be the most effective response because it fuses breeding for conservation and for commercially-useful traits. Tensions arise, however, from this approach’s dependence on queens’ marketability and its distinctive three-dimensional spatiality. Because queens mate with many drones several kilometers from their nests, conservation- and commercially-oriented breeders rely on isolated mating stations to ensure specific queens and drones mate. This article draws on ethnographic research and oral history interviews conducted between 2018 and 2025 to analyze conflicts over the use of isolated mating areas in western Ukraine’s Transcarpathia Oblast to breed Carpathian honeybees before and after Russia’s full-scale invasion. Suspicion that non-Carpathian drones were placed at a commercial mating station led to the creation of new stations, including a collaborative community-based one which sought to “common” the “drone atmosphere.” I argue that these conflicts can best be understood by a) framing the history of Carpathian honeybees in terms of resource-making on imperial peripheries and b) using a concept of “voluminous socialities” which builds on and extends geographical and anthropological conceptualizations of non-military-, non-state-focused volumes, sociality, and interspecies relations. My analysis enriches geographical debates about three-dimensional spatiality and deepens our understanding of what it means to do honeybee conservation in a non-EU European periphery amidst changing political economies of beekeeping and an imperial war.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12497,"journal":{"name":"Geoforum","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 104348"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144779469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A complex pattern of relocations showing the large share of intra-regional shifts and combining with upgrading can be observed. Strategic coupling between TCLF networks and regional assets reflects the growing importance of higher value added and higher entry barrier activities, and flexible production. These results refer to the primary role of cost-capability ratio and market access in shaping TCLF network dynamics. Strategic coupling processes are determined by the intermediary position of the region between the high costs of the core economies and the long distances of the cost-efficient global production platforms. However, shortcomings in semi-peripheral regional environment including the erosion of TCLF-related knowledge represent growing obstacles for the long-term and fruitful network integration, and can create challenges for industry-specific development policies.
