This Special Section presents a new approach to understanding contemporary austerity by focusing on legacies. In this introduction, we illustrate how the lens of legacies can be applied to understanding the aftermath of austerity, in terms of how austerity's legacies are lived out, passed on and become manifest in daily life. More specifically, we highlight the significance of policy, social, and material legacies, including where they overlap and interweave. Supported by seven papers and an afterword, this collection advances debates within geography about the space-times of austerity as they condition present and future geographies.</p>","PeriodicalId":48023,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Journal","volume":"191 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/geoj.70037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144923496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We leverage securely held individual level in-app mobile phone location data that preserve spatial and temporal flexibility in representing place-to-place interactions.

This study uses a dataset of activity diaries collected in Beijing to investigate how family structure affects space–time constraints across genders. As a follow-up study, it also investigates the consequences of space–time constraints across genders. The results show gender differences in both individual time use and space–time fixity. In extended households, help from other family members, such as co-residing grandparents, reduces the space–time fixity of the head of the household. This effect was primarily observed in the time fixity of housework and discretionary activities. However, there is still a gender difference in the impact of extended families, which has been shown to affect men more than women. In addition, the degree of fixity is also influenced by personal and household attributes, such as income, children and car ownership.</p>","PeriodicalId":48023,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Journal","volume":"191 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/geoj.70034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144923539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"How do you like your rivers? Portraying public perception and preference for urban rivers in China via a combined visual and textual analysis","authors":"Yixin Cao,&nbsp;Wendy Yan Chen,&nbsp;Karl Matthias Wantzen","doi":"10.1111/geoj.70029","DOIUrl":"10.1111/geoj.70029","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Urban rivers play a pivotal role in fostering human–nature interaction in cities. This study investigates the evolving relationship between humans and rivers by examining public perceptions of rivers' multifaceted roles—an aspect not yet explored through social science methods—within the context of China's river restoration trends. We conducted a public survey in three riverine cities in China—Chongqing, Wuhan and Hangzhou, and generated 114 photographs of respondents' ‘favourite river sites’, as well as detailed written explanations of why they liked those places. By combining visual content analysis and textual thematic analysis to their answers, we identified five specific perceived values of urban rivers: ecological, recreational, scenic, economic and sentimental. The findings reveal a widespread preference for the ecological and recreational benefits of urban rivers, particularly through direct, sensory interactions with water. Urban rivers are also found to evoke enduring emotional bonds with people—for example, being referred to as the ‘mother river’—which is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Water quality emerges as the most valued attribute, reflecting an urgent need to address the widespread pollution of rivers in Chinese cities. Biodiversity, however, remains underrepresented in public perception. People overwhelmingly prioritise water quality, often lacking awareness of the biological quality of rivers. The study also highlights potential conflicts between the high demand for recreational use of rivers and the need to conserve their ecosystems, suggesting future strategic mitigation plans to address this challenge. Rivers' cooling effects and mental health benefits can further contribute to the city's climate adaptation efforts. Given the substantial investments in river restoration in China, the study emphasises integrating social needs and involving public participation in urban river management. Ultimately, the results contribute to China's sustainable transformation by aligning ecological restoration with cultural and societal goals, and promoting coexistence between humans and nature within urban river corridors.</p>","PeriodicalId":48023,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Journal","volume":"191 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/geoj.70029","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144923495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exploring ‘care-ful encounters’ matters in terms of developing new ways of understanding how the choreographies of care and self-care shape, and are shaped by, encounters with human and non-human others, and prompts critical engagement and reflection with care as felt and experienced, that could otherwise be considered as distanced and ‘over there‘. Two key contributions emerge—first, that the combined role of care and encounter shapes young people's care-giving practices in active, relational and socially interconnected ways, and second, in acknowledging how visceral practices of emotional and affective encounters problematise the intersections between responsibility and risk in terms of young people's practices of self-care. Taken collectively, this critical investigation of empathetic and care-ful encounters reveals the intense ethical and moral significance of caring praxis that are performed up close and through tactile and tangible experiences with the material, emotional and symbolic characteristics of coastal environments, and the ways in which care-ful encounters can shape senses of citizenship, well-being and community for those experiencing them.</p>","PeriodicalId":48023,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Journal","volume":"191 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/geoj.70027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144923540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This commentary draws on feminist geopolitics to critically examine how the ICC's structural ambiguities constrain but also create opportunities for rethinking justice. By foregrounding intersectionality, structural violence and alternative legal frameworks, we propose ways to make international justice mechanisms more responsive to local contexts and marginalised communities. Moving beyond critique, we outline concrete reforms, including expanding the ICC's mandate, decentralising justice processes, and integrating survivor-led approaches. In doing so, we call for a more geographically attuned and socially equitable approach to global justice. We also argue that geographers—especially those working in legal, political and feminist subfields—can play a critical role in illuminating the spatialities of international justice, uncovering power asymmetries, and advancing more inclusive legal imaginaries.
