Drawing on Gidwani's (2008) conceptualisation of colonial capitalism's waste/value dialectic, the analysis illustrates how colonial classifications and developmental logics produced patterns of uneven geographical development across colonial and postcolonial periods. Challenging dominant narratives that naturalise climate crisis, the paper makes two main arguments. First, contemporary climate vulnerabilities in rural Sri Lanka are not natural outcomes of biophysical change but products of colonial capitalist and postcolonial development that systematically dispossessed peasant communities while reallocating and concentrating resources in sectors deemed more economically valuable to the state. Second, postcolonial development reproduced rather than dismantled colonial hierarchies, rearticulating logics of waste/value through new developmental frameworks that prioritise centralised, capital-intensive agricultural systems over decentralised alternatives. Such arguments go beyond simply identifying colonialism and capitalism as key drivers of climate vulnerability and agrarian precarity, highlighting instead the specific rationales, logics and processes through which agrarian worlds have been, and continue to be, valued and devalued. This paper ultimately contends that understanding and addressing the drivers of climate vulnerability in postcolonial contexts like Sri Lanka requires first historicising climate crisis within the <i>longue durée</i> of colonial capitalism and uneven development—an approach that draws attention to how such crises emerge from entangled histories of colonialism, uneven development and environmental change.</p>","PeriodicalId":48023,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Journal","volume":"192 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/geoj.70118","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148753287","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}

Most of this infrastructural investment happened in the Punjab, where nine canal colonies were settled between 1886 and 1940, bringing more than 14 million lands under plough (Ali 1988, 9). Known as the breadbasket of colonial India prior to 1947 and now postcolonial Pakistan, Punjab hosts more than half the population of the country, which is predominantly rural and agrarian (Khan 2020). This irrigation infrastructure and the agrarian economy dependent on it are threatened by climate change and the resulting water crisis. In this essay, I will trace the history of this hydrosocial arrangement in Pakistan's Punjab province to reveal how this colonial and postcolonial irrigation infrastructural development set up the present moment of crisis instead of enduring development. Based on archival and ethnographic research in a canal colony village in the central Punjab, I explore the geographies of uneven agrarian development in the canal colonies and highlight how the climate crisis is internal to the strategies of development and political control over nature and the native communities. I also highlight the newer strategies of survival adopted by the local communities in the face of global environmental crisis.</p>","PeriodicalId":48023,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Journal","volume":"192 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/geoj.70109","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148615462","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}

Poor waste segregation reduces compost efficiency to 8%–10%, leaving large quantities in landfills and open dumpsites. This study highlights critical limitations in Varanasi's solid waste management, including inconsistent waste tracking and insufficient route optimisation, which hinder operational efficiency.

Binomial logistic regression indicates that demographic factors and satisfaction levels account for 58.2%–88.8% of the variance in citizen satisfaction.

In Arab nations, divorce among educated women has increased as cultural and socioeconomic barriers to marital dissolution have weakened. More specifically, in Gulf Cooperation Council countries, particularly Kuwait, patterns of divorce among women with higher education are changing; yet, notably, the spatial dimensions of these trends remain underexplored. Accordingly, this study utilises subnational datasets and employs a global ordinary least squares (OLS) model, in conjunction with geographically weighted regression (GWR) and multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR), to investigate the influence of sociodemographic factors on divorce rates among educated women in urban areas of Kuwait. Importantly, the MGWR model enhances the model fit compared to the GWR, thereby demonstrating that the predictors function at varying geographic scales. The findings indicate that women's employment in government, healthcare and STEM fields, as well as leadership positions, is positively associated with divorce among educated women, whereas, conversely, fertility and having sons are negatively correlated with divorce. Furthermore, these associations differed across neighbourhoods. Consequently, the results identify regions where female labour market participation and family structure are most strongly connected to divorce, thus highlighting the potential for localised interventions. Ultimately, this study exemplifies the efficacy of geospatial approaches in modelling social outcomes and advocates targeted strategies to mitigate family dissolution risks in Kuwait and similar urban areas.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48023,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Journal","volume":"192 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148467315","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}

The most recent (2025) IoD release is the first since COVID-19 and the first in the context of the current cost of living crisis. The IoD provides neighbourhood-level measures of multiple forms of deprivation and is an invaluable tool for local authority districts (LAs), NGOs, and others concerned with understanding and tackling spatial inequalities. This paper introduces the IoD 2025 and considers how deprivation varies at a neighbourhood level, both <i>between</i> and <i>within</i> regions and LAs. Next, deprivation histories are explored for small areas across England. It is demonstrated that intense deprivation persists in some neighbourhoods and a case is made that such areas should be the subject of targeted interventions. Linking the IoD releases for 2004, 2007, 2010, 2015, 2019 and 2025, the paper shows how deprivation trajectories differ across England.

Drawing on a qualitative case study of the Water Defence Committee in Mexico City, it explores how these organisations become social infrastructure through specific practices identified as gathering, channelling and remaining. Gathering involves bringing people together and assembling a public around shared concerns. Channelling describes how relationships and alliances are mobilised to shape the flow of resources such as water. Remaining highlights the ongoing work required to maintain collective organisation over time and to mitigate the risks of disengagement or co-optation. By examining these practices, the article shows how neighbour-based organisations acquire infrastructural qualities that sustain everyday life when facing precarity. The article contributes to debates on social infrastructure by bridging spatial and relational understandings of infrastructure through a focus on organisations, social practices and the work involved in them. In doing so, it shifts attention from defining social infrastructure to examining what social infrastructure does.</p>","PeriodicalId":48023,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Journal","volume":"192 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/geoj.70104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148466898","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}
