Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on the key role that big data can play in minimizing the perceived disconnect between social theory and quantitative methods in the discipline of geography. It takes as its starting point the geographic concept of space, which is conceptualized very differently in social theory versus quantitative methodology. Contrary to this disparity, an examination of the disciplinary history reveals a number of historic precedents and potential pathways for a rapprochement, especially when combined with some of the new possibilities of big data. This dissertation also proposes so

Abstract:

During the 1990s vulnerability analysis has brought political ecology into the study of hazards, and in so doing allowed the study of risk in society/environment relations to engage more directly with broader issues of social science interest. This approach acknowledges that hazards are the product of risk and vulnerability but focuses primarily on the ways in which social organisation influences the distribution of hazard impacts; when and where risk becomes hazard, who is affected. if and how people respond and the extent to which hazard events may provide opportunities for, as well as const

Abstract:

There is a general consensus that economic inequality increased in Canada between 1996 and 2006. However, few studies examine the multi-dimensional causes of this trend at the sub-national scale. Chakravorty (1996, 2006) and others (Morrill, 2000; Martin, 2001, Drennan, 2005) argue that an understanding of what influences national-scale inequality requires in-depth consideration of urban and regional socioeconomic processes. Using microdata drawn from the most recent 20-percent samples of the Canadian Census of Population (1996, 2001, and 2006), this thesis examines the spatial and socioeconom

Abstract:

The emerging geographical research field of moral geography is charting out new connections between geography and ethics. To date, the moral geographical literature has developed a theoretical apparatus for exploring the geography-ethics nexus, and has undertaken a number of empirical investigations into a diverse range of issues, particularly social justice. A sphere with which moral geography has had little contact, however, is that of the religious. In spite of Western secularism, religion remains a key feature of social and cultural relations that is practised by the majority of the world'

Urban community gardens are a form of greenspace that repurposes vacant homes and lots that would otherwise be potential sites for debris, dumping, arson, squatters, and crime. Other forms of greenspace have been shown to positively increase feelings of community, ties to place, and create feelings of safety while offering social space and recreation areas in urban environments.

Across the world traditional forms of urban management are affected by economic restructuring and neoliberalization processes.
