“…Although qualitative research provides insights on the embodied and cultural aspects of aging and care, alongside the macrostructures governing aging and care, we argue that georeferencing tools are an important complement for generating point data and mapping the actual spatiotemporal care routines of older adults. Geographers who support the integration of qualitative research with GIS analyses argue that the former provides a level of detail and nuance that quantitative data on their own typically do not capture (Elwood andCope 2009, cited in Mennis, Mason, andCao 2013;Delyser and Sui 2014). Human geographers have used three main approaches to integrate qualitative and GIS research: (1) modifying qualitative data so that they can be represented using cartographic techniques such as classification and symbols (e.g., Jung 2009; Bagheri 2014); (2) using participatory methods to derive GIS data and grounded visualization (Knigge and Cope 2006;Chan et al 2014); and (3) hyperlinking strategies that associate qualitative data with spatial objects in GIS together with using software modifications, including mobile-based apps, to capture and represent the data analyses (e.g., Kwan and Lee 2004;Kwan and Ding 2008).…”

The connections between time and space have been studied considerably in quantitative and qualitative research on the geographies of care; however, researchers tend to prioritize one approach over the other. Our article integrates analyses of activity spaces and space-time paths with conceptualizations of care developed in qualitative studies to deepen understanding of the spatiotemporal care routines of older adults in Singapore. Using qualitative geographic information systems (QualiGIS), we develop a comparative frame to understand the differential sociopolitical logics that shape the care routines of older adults who are Singapore citizens and nonmigrants visa -vis temporary migrants from the People's Republic of China. Building on recent writing about care assemblages, we conceptualize webs of care as the interlinked chains, in and through which individuals-in this case, older adults-exercise agency to give and receive care in the context of political, institutional, and social structures. Our article shows how the relational thinking of assemblage theory can inform geographic information systems analyses of activity space and space-time paths. We advance research on care assemblages by identifying in actual time-space how various resources within care assemblages (or the lack of) can diminish or enhance the capacity and resilience of older adults to give and receive care.

“…The evolving nature of GSDSs has been discussed for a long time, among others, in respect to trust [15], their future potential, and corresponding obstacles [16]. Also, the influence of GSDSs on science has been discussed, both in general [17] and in respect to pluralism in science [18]. In the following, we discuss three of the most important types, namely VGI, AGI, and PPGIS.…”

People share data in different ways. Many of them contribute on a voluntary basis, while others are unaware of their contribution. They have differing intentions, collaborate in different ways, and they contribute data about differing aspects. Shared Data Sources have been explored individually in the literature, in particular OpenStreetMap and Twitter, and some types of Shared Data Sources have widely been studied, such as Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), Ambient Geographic Information (AGI), and Public Participation Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS). A thorough and systematic discussion of Shared Data Sources in their entirety is, however, still missing. For the purpose of establishing such a discussion, we introduce in this article a schema consisting of a number of dimensions for characterizing socially produced, maintained, and used ‘Shared Data Sources,’ as well as corresponding visualization techniques. Both the schema and the visualization techniques allow for a common characterization in order to set individual data sources into context and to identify clusters of Shared Data Sources with common characteristics. Among others, this makes possible choosing suitable Shared Data Sources for a given task and gaining an understanding of how to interpret them by drawing parallels between several Shared Data Sources.

“…Thus, we present a PR method in which the main goal was to encourage development by promoting and creating cultural tourism activities. We wish to contribute to the development of PR in geography, or 'methodological pluralism' , which is vital for the discipline's development (Barnes 2011;DeLyser and Sui 2014). We want to see if it is possible to incorporate science and local communities in PR.…”

Although participatory research can be an improvement over conventional research, there is a lack of self-critique and self-reflection by scholars. The aim of this paper was to develop a method of participatory research in human geography based on a case study of the local community. We evaluated the positive and negative aspects of carrying out participatory research in community development from the local community and academic points of view. The participatory method was used in a rural local community in Slovenia, where cultural values were identified as an alternative developmental source. The method was presented in detail in three steps: 1) knowledge acquisition, 2) knowledge synthesis, 3) knowledge implementation and evaluation. The results yielded important social impacts, some economic and cultural impacts, and no significant ecological impacts. The paper discusses the impacts of conducting such research on the local community. It recognizes that, if the community is actively engaged in research, outcomes are likely to be matched to its needs and expectations. We discussed scholars' bias towards economic aspects of community development and the fact that ignoring local knowledge may result in the failure of developmental initiatives. There is a need for more accurate and unbiased critical assessment of long-term impacts of carrying out participatory research. We believe we avoided two common traps of participatory research: regarding the positivist critique, this method offers sufficient scientific vigour and could be reproduced in similar communities; regarding the post-structural critique, personally committing stakeholders towards implementation and legitimising all social groups to overcome intrinsic power relations within the community. We concluded that participatory methods are important for obtaining local knowledge that complements traditional academic research.
