The spread of COVID-19 resulted in new stressors that affected the physical, mental, and emotional health of interviewees, but many found ways to mitigate the effects of the pandemic through reconfigured care giving and receiving practices. Findings indicate that wellbeing of self and immediate family members, and transnational care for aging relatives, along with state and self-imposed social isolation, meant that spaces of care had to be transformed. Along with local community networks, social media connections played a crucial role in managing and receiving transnational care. However inconsistent policies around masking, COVID protocols, vaccine and booster regulations and distributions created additional stress on immigrants tasked with managing care across nations.","PeriodicalId":47939,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77717491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Today, society is rooted in the Internet of things, as an increasing amount of everyday life is connected to algorithms, applications, digital media, and the cloud. Those who are left off the grid (intentionally or not) are also objects of geographic studies— geographers analyze the implications of the digital divide or how the lack of access to technology and digital environments has an impact on communities cut off from online services, on people who are shut out from participating with the Internet, and on societies whose governments have intentionally implemented barriers to prevent citizens from accessing aspects of digital life. The Digital City finds a home within research questions regarding smart city development, media and communications technology, and cultural geographies. Halegoua, an associate professor in the Department of Film and Media Studies at the University of Kansas, is not a geographer by training, instead coming to these questions from an interdisciplinary perspective. Halegoua incorporates literature from communications studies, media studies, and geography to inform the arguments presented throughout The Digital City. As such, the book does not take on an explicitly spatial perspective in its analysis, but does engage with some core geographic concepts, mainly space, place, and placelessness, and engages with geography-adjacent literature in urban planning. Throughout the work, Halegoua’s main point is that previous research on digital media in urban environments have often been limited to individuals’ use of media. Studies have shown (Kitchin 2014; Shelton, Zook, and Wiig 2015) how and why media is used in urban environments as solutions to specific problems. In doing so, these studies effectively separate personal daily activities from their physical activity spaces—that is, we no longer need to go to a grocery store; instead groceries can be delivered to our homes with a few button clicks. Similarly, past studies (A. de Souza e Silva and others 2011; Ito 2013) have discussed individuals’ engagement with media and seek to understand how media users appropriate applications or physical devices to unique situations, again focusing on the use of technology to remove us from our physical environments. The Digital City pushes these studies one step farther, past understanding the ways in which people have integrated media and technology within their lives, to how this integration has subsequently reshaped their engagement","PeriodicalId":47939,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79320189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This impediment, for many countries, originates from not only the pervasive nature of how this sector is characterized, but also the fluidity associated with their perceptions among urban planners and policy makers. This study highlights that while urban planners and state authorities perceive street hawking as a nuisance and try to forcefully evict them from spaces they occupy, some enterprises have modified traditional street hawking to develop what we term “corporate street hawking” in Accra, Ghana. This article presents findings drawing upon semistructured interviews with 47 street hawkers in Accra.","PeriodicalId":47939,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90982735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Marine environments present vexing subjects to capture digitally. Complex physical and biological oceanography, invisible boundaries, ambiguous legal controls, conflicts between multiple stakeholders over subsistence and commercial marine resources, and cultural variations in core ocean epistemologies complicate our ability to model historical and contemporary human interactions with the marine environment. Academic focus on the concept of the Anthropocene within geography, together with critical GIS studies, open new possibilities to transcend division between natural and social sciences. We propose an object-oriented, multiscalar framework for a database of anthropogenic ocean layers that represent human-ocean interactions. We outline strategies for digitally representing human experiences of maritime space and introduce a prototype GIS data structure for its delivery.","PeriodicalId":47939,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90481733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
