However, auto-photography remains relatively unexplored as a research method, empirically and theoretically. In this paper, I reflect on my use of this method in urban informal neighbourhoods in Mexico to explore some of the opportunities and challenges it gives rise to. During research into the spatial and social construction of place in colonias populares in Mexico, I used auto-photography as a way of accessing residents’ perspectives of place meaning. As part of a mixed methods framework within a broadly phenomenological approach to place, auto-photography offers rich potential to explore participants’ perceptual observations that may be harder to access through more conventional techniques such as interviews. It is particularly suitable for use with marginalised groups, given its capacity to emphasise how the less powerful see their place in the world. However, despite some work on analysing visual material as part of geographic research, the relatively novel nature of this technique means guidance is still evolving on ethical and analytical issues such as anonymity and representation.","PeriodicalId":72297,"journal":{"name":"Area (Oxford, England)","volume":"45 1","pages":"23-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87717072","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}

Similarly, return migration has largely been overlooked in geographical enquiries, reflecting the assumption that migrants are returning ‘home’ in a journey that involves little adjustment. Moving beyond a consideration of the socio-economic factors that undoubtedly play a part in whether the displaced are able to return, and exploring what it means to return somewhere that is expected to be familiar and safe, this paper examines the understudied emotional motivations that influence post-disaster return decisions. Contributing to geographic literature on trauma, disasters and the concept of ‘home’, this paper uses semi-structured interviews with Hurricane Katrina evacuees, to explore the influence of loss and nostalgia on their decisions to return or relocate following displacement. Instead of trying to instrumentalise these decisions, I argue that they are complex, multidimensional and individually unique. This paper stresses that there is a powerful emotional quality associated with how people relate to place, recognising that return decisions are emotionally driven and not necessarily based on material constraints. In order to plan for future catastrophic events, I identify the need for a deeper understanding of the emotional intensity of the post-disaster situation, and a sustained research focus on the many factors that influence the decision to return following disaster displacement.","PeriodicalId":72297,"journal":{"name":"Area (Oxford, England)","volume":"40 1","pages":"33-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90496299","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}

Despite the loss of life in recent years, geomorphological understanding of snow avalanches in Romania remains limited. The Sinaia ski area, located in the Bucegi Mountains, is the most important ski resort in the Romanian Carpathians with two distinct centres of skiing activity: the Valea Dorului and Carp Valley. Winter sports such as alpine skiing, freestyle and freeriding have significantly increased in popularity in recent years. The Sinaia ski area comprises both marked and off-piste trails, which make the region attractive to a wide range of skiers. At the same time, there is also an increased probability of hazardous avalanches due to both natural causes and the activity of skiers. In this paper we outline the use of the dendrogeomorphological method to reconstruct past avalanche activity and to assess the magnitude and frequency of avalanches in order to gain a better understanding of this hazard. Using the nearby mountain weather stations of Omu (2505 m) and Sinaia (1500 m), we examine the annual variation in the number of days with snowfall, heavy snowfall and the number of days with snow cover over the past 46 years, together with an assessment of the risk of avalanches. In order to achieve this, we obtained cores and cross sections from 62 trees in the area for dendrogeomorphological analysis. Tree-ring analysis demonstrates a strong correlation between meteorological data, avalanche risk and avalanche activity, when taking topographic parameters and tree distribution patterns into consideration.","PeriodicalId":72297,"journal":{"name":"Area (Oxford, England)","volume":"65 1","pages":"109-122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77815450","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}

Valuable for exploring a host of interconnected social, political, economic and cultural practices, this research has consistently pondered the implications of changing religious affiliations and what the effects of these changes might hold for society and space more generally. In Brazil, for example – with more Catholics than any country in the world and a rapidly growing evangelical population – researchers suggest that the country's spiritual shift may bring with it significant political and cultural change, particularly in the impoverished urban communities (i.e. favelas) where evangelical churches are most prominent. While numerous accounts exist to document these changes and reflect upon their potentialities, few geographers, as of yet, have contributed to these debates. Still unknown are the spatial changes that accompany this spiritual shift, the ways that neighbourhoods and cities are changing, and the day-to-day effects of new and syncretistic religious practices. Through a case study of a favela community in northeastern Brazil, this paper considers the socio-spatialities of religious diversity and change within Brazil's contemporary urban landscape.","PeriodicalId":72297,"journal":{"name":"Area (Oxford, England)","volume":"18 1","pages":"47-55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80188858","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}
