Equity in Evacuation Planning and Mitigation: Implications of Transportation Infrastructure and Social Vulnerability

open access: yesGrowth and Change, Volume 57, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This research addresses a critical but underexamined challenge in disaster preparedness: the identification of neighborhoods where evacuation is hardest to accomplish based on physical infrastructure constraints as well as inherent social vulnerability. Existing evacuation approaches emphasize the flow of traffic and the capacity of roads, but

Focal‐Feature Regression Kriging

open access: yesGeographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Spatial interpolation is a crucial task in geography. As perhaps the most widely used interpolation methods, geostatistical models‐such as Ordinary Kriging (OK)‐assume spatial stationarity, which makes it difficult to capture the nonstationary characteristics of geographic variables.

A System for Generating Customized Pleasant Pedestrian Routes Based on OpenStreetMap Data

open access: yesSensors, 2018
In this work, we present a system that generates customized pedestrian routes entirely based on data from OpenStreetMap (OSM). The system enables users to define to what extent they would like the route to have green areas (e.g., parks, squares, trees ...

When Proximity Falls Short: Inequalities in Commuting and Accessibility by Public Transport in Santiago, Chile

open access: yesGeographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Traditional measures of urban accessibility often rely on static models or survey data. However, location information from mobile networks enables large‐scale, dynamic analyses of how people navigate cities. In this study, we employ eXtended Detail Records (XDRs) from mobile phone activity to analyze commuting patterns and accessibility ...

Contextualized Relevance Evaluation of Geographic Information for Mobile Users in Location-Based Social Networks

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2015
The relevance of geographic information to mobile users must be evaluated by taking into account the usage context. This paper assumes that emerging Location-based Social Networks (LBSNs) contain contextual information rich enough to be used in order to ...

Golden Gate Bridge, as Always? Eliciting Prototypical Places From Autoregressive Large Language Models via Category Production

open access: yesTransactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Among the various theories of categorization, Eleanor Rosch's prototype theory stands out as both influential and contested. In contrast to the classical theory of concepts, prototype theory posits that humans conceptualize the world using category structures where exemplars vary in their degree of membership.

Why Maps Matter in GIScience

open access: yesThe Cartographic Journal, 2006
or Real An important characteristic of maps is the fact that they represent selections from reality in an abstract way. Especially for presentation purposes, maps that look ‘empty’ might even work better than maps with an overloaded view. In an exploratory mode, an overloaded map could be very representative for the topic being studied, and via ...
