Community geography is a growing subfield that provides framework for relevant and engaged scholarship. In this paper, we define community as form of research praxis, one involves academic public scholars with the goal co-produced mutually-beneficial knowledge. draws from pragmatist model inquiry, views communities emergent through recursive process problem definition social action. We situate growth programs rooted in two overlapping but distinct traditions: disciplinary development...
Early advocates of Public Participation Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS) envisioned a future in which members the public (broadly) and marginalized communities (specifically) would utilize geographic information spatial technologies to affect positive change within their communities. Yet spite emergence success PPGIS, open source geospatial tools, geoweb, access barriers recognized by proponents PPGIS mid-1990s persist. As result, facilitators continue be instrumental addressing among...
Interdisciplinary partnerships foster innovation to address pressing social problems. This paper describes an interdisciplinary partnership called the Chicago Food System Collaborative (CFSC) composed of a team partners from four academic institutions and three community-based organizations representing total eight disciplines that included: community development organizing, psychology, geography, nursing, nutrition, public health, sociology, urban planning policy. Partners came together...
Food justice scholarship and activism have coevolved at times been intertwined over past decades. In some instances, there are clear distinctions between “scholarly” “activist” activities. However, individuals, groups, actions often take on characteristics of both, producing knowledge multiple sociopolitical scales. Recognizing building upon these dynamics is important for strengthening food work. This especially salient in an era which academia, including geography, seeks more public...

Public health research has increasingly focused on how access to resources affects behaviors. Mapping environmental factors, such as distance a supermarket, can identify intervention points toward improving food in low-income and minority communities. However, the existing literature provides little guidance choosing most appropriate measures of spatial access. This study compared results different large stores locations high low identified by each. The data set included U.S. Census...
Street vending has drawn recent attention from city governments in both the Global North and South. This paper focuses on regulation of street food its enforcement four cities: Bangkok, Chicago, Hanoi Montpellier. It draws upon qualitative interviews, archival newspaper research, ethnography. The regulatory frameworks raise several issues, because they deny access to space income for groups that are often underprivileged, neglect roles urban system. We show actual regulations is uneven...
Geographers have increasingly adopted community-based learning and research into their teaching scholarly activities since Bunge Harvey called for an applied public geography that is both useful challenges societal inequalities. With few exceptions, however, there has been little discussion of methods measuring this work. Many published assessments focus on the impacts projects students but overlook community partners. Impacts faculty larger university are also often ignored. This article...
Community–academic collaborations that value experience-based knowledge alongside institutional ways of knowing have long been interest in geography. In 1984, Harvey proposed a "peoples' geography" would integrate nonacademic into the field, increasing geography's potential to help create just world. Recent community–academic food justice taken up this proposition through initiatives addressing issues from access dismantling racism, suggesting possibilities for geography." Grant funding is...
Abstract Community Geography offers researchers, community groups, and students opportunities to engage in action oriented applied geographical research. Creating sustaining these research programs can be challenging, involve many partners from both academic the community, have different goals purposes, utilize a variety of methods perform In this paper we offer framework three primary overarching principles for implementing CG projects; (1) Who, (2) Why, (3) How. “Who” describes who is...
Ciclovìas create temporary spaces for physical activity by closing off streets to motorized traffic short periods of time—typically a day at time. In Chicago, these health promotion events are called "Open Streets" and follow route through five diverse communities. We report findings evaluation 2008–2009 Open Streets events. The creates framework examining Ciclovìa outcomes tracks attendance, participant characteristics, feedback, community development outcomes. Evaluation data include...
There has been a recent wave of political and theoretical interest in localism relocalization as strategy resistance to the hegemonic power globalization. Some geographers other observers spatial politics have skeptical these efforts, questioning effectiveness effects movements. In response, DuPuis Goodman argued for ‘reflexive localism’ that takes more pragmatic approach, understanding ways which this form can or cannot provide powerful alternative Building on current realist studies,...
Longitudinal analysis of supermarkets over time is essential to understanding the dynamics foodscape environments for healthy living. Supermarkets 2007, 2011, and 2014 City Chicago were curated further validated. The average distance all along street network was constructed each resident-populated census tract. These analytic results generated with GIS software stored as spatially enabled data files, facilitating research analysis. presented in this article are related entitled "Urban...
Geography, as the discipline responsible for describing organization of space, has developed several ways dealing with phenomenon central city and its surrounding hinterlands. One most prominent models used is von Thünen's Isolated State, a predictive model how rural hinterlands organize agricultural production in relation to an urban center. Despite today's globalized food provisioning system, there are still some commodities that remain U.S. The these milk. spatial dairying therefore topic...
