The American geographer Ellen Churchill Semple (1863–1932),\u0000famous for her work on environmental influence, is often framed as a mere\u0000disciple of the German geographer Friedrich Ratzel (1844–1904). Drawing on a\u0000reading of Semple's published and unpublished works as well as\u0000correspondence and diaries, this paper sheds new light on the two\u0000anthropogeographers' intellectual relationship, which was in fact one with\u0000benefits to both sides. Semple found in Ratzel's geography a detached and\u0000scientific language with which to reinterpret American history. He drew on\u0000her as an informant on issues of racial segregation in the United States.\u0000Although Semple remained loyal to his broader intellectual project after his\u0000death, she had begun, soon after they met, to develop her own brand of\u0000anthropogeography, freed from the ambivalences of his work.

Questions centered around the „Anthropos in the Anthropocene“ are particularly virulent in Anthropogeography. While the discussion about\u0000More-Than-, Post- or Other-Than-Human is present and vivid especially in\u0000anglophone theoretical discourse as well as in New Materialism, the\u0000German-speaking representative of a Philosophical Anthropology Helmuth\u0000Plessner has hardly received any attention. His concept of Eccentric\u0000Positionality, among others, seems to be particularly appropriate and\u0000striking in this context. Plessner has made remarkable attempts in\u0000approximating the essence of the human being and his fellow world, without\u0000lapsing into existentialism or making under-complex differentiations. His\u0000dialectical, oscillating definition of „Menschlichkeit“ between „Un-“ and „Allzumenschlichkeit“ has great potential for differentiation and insight.

The introduction of alien plant species can lead to biological\u0000invasions, which have major impacts on people and the environment.\u0000Trachycarpus fortunei (Hook.) H. Wendl. (Arecaceae) is an alien plant (palm tree) that has been\u0000introduced as an ornamental into urban areas across the world, but in many\u0000regions, it has started invading forests and other natural environments\u0000leading to negative impacts. To improve understanding and guide management,\u0000this study sought to assess people's knowledge and perceptions of T. fortunei in\u0000Ticino, the region in Switzerland where invasions of the species are most\u0000common. To achieve this goal, an online survey was conducted, and a total of\u0000487 responses were received. The formal name(s) (scientific or common names)\u0000of T. fortunei were unknown to almost all participants (89 %), and people mostly\u0000just called them “palm”. Most respondents were familiar with the term\u0000invasive alien species (IAS) (88 %) and were aware of the invasiveness\u0000(spread) of T. fortunei (73 %). The study showed that although people like to see the\u0000palm in the region (51 %) and enjoyed the related sense of place it\u0000provides, respondents have become aware of the challenges associated with\u0000invasions and the majority (65 %) would like to see more done to control\u0000the spread of T. fortunei invasions within natural areas, particularly forests. To\u0000improve management, a large number of respondents (63 %) mentioned that\u0000education and awareness programmes should be implemented to provide people\u0000with knowledge on how to deal with invasive alien plants and thus prevent\u0000further spread. Almost a third of respondents supported (32 %) the\u0000regulated sale of T. fortunei in an effort to reduce invasions.

Emotions affect how humans relate to others and define their place in the\u0000world. They thus shape responses to socio-ecological problems like climate\u0000change. In spite of the overwhelming knowledge and concern about climate\u0000change, a lack of appropriate moral and political consequences prevails in\u0000most contemporary societies. Instead of trying to explain climate inaction\u0000as a result of (un)awareness, this paper introduces a new perspective by\u0000conceptualising climate inaction as an active social process animated by\u0000emotions. Drawing on an interdisciplinary and radically relational perspective, I grasp climate inaction as a product of more-than-human\u0000intra-action and explore the affective role of emotions within this production. To illustrate how emotions energise climate inaction, I sketch\u0000how fear, grief, and hope animate current climate responses.\u0000","PeriodicalId":35649,"journal":{"name":"Geographica Helvetica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45218683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, urban housing policies in Europe have become more mobile, developing local responses to the housing question by building on examples from other cities. To understand the movement of policies, the policy mobility debate suggests sometimes irreconcilable concepts and we still need concepts that address the spatial dimension of how urban housing\u0000policies travel between places. The article reflects on the extent to which selected concepts – policy knowledge, translation, and topologies – allow\u0000an explicit treatment of movement and materiality in a geographical\u0000understanding of housing policy mobilities. To cross-fertilize these concepts, the article revisits how key definitions relate to each other, and assesses the extent to which these concepts allow to understand the\u0000mobilization and localization of urban housing policies in particular contexts. Overall, the article offers a nuanced conceptualization of\u0000interurban movements and the spatial–material dimension of housing policies, and thereby enhances future empirical studies on urban housing policy.\u0000","PeriodicalId":35649,"journal":{"name":"Geographica Helvetica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46865414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The population development of German municipalities is characterized by pronounced regional disparities. We seek to shed new light on the shifting patterns of population development in Germany at the local level between 1990 and 2019 to understand better the drivers of population development at the local level and to initiate a debate on the\u0000(dis)advantages of longitudinal analyses of population change at the local\u0000level and the resulting methodological challenges. We address three\u0000interrelated questions: (1) how do patterns of local population trends shift over time and in space? (2) Where are the hot and cold spots of population development, and how stable are they? (3) Are there any persistent outliers defying the regional trends of population development? We use a unique database that includes annual data on the population development of all German municipalities to answer these questions. Using spatial autocorrelation and hot-spot–cold-spot analysis, we identify short- and long-term population trajectories that allow us to detect both the hot and the cold spots of population development and islands of growth in otherwise shrinking regions and islands of decline in growing regions. Stable hot spots of population growth exist around Germany's three largest cities – Berlin, Hamburg and Munich – and in the rural northwest. The cold spots of population development are concentrated in rural regions of eastern Germany but also structurally weak, old industrialized rural regions around Brunswick and Kassel and in Upper Franconia, Saarland and Western Palatinate.\u0000","PeriodicalId":35649,"journal":{"name":"Geographica Helvetica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42000459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
