“…In urban studies, spatial autocorrelation provides an excellent way of quantitatively visualising emergent patterns and clustering of various urban attributes. For example, it aids in mapping the impact of planning policies to urban patterns and forms, whether decentralisation regulations have actually promoted a sprawling city or polycentric urban space (see Han, 2005;Tsai, 2005;Vilalta, 2004). In this paper, I will employ the most commonly used technique in detecting spatial autocorrelation, Moran's I (Moran, 1950).…”

“…Indeed, the question of whether "place matters" is one of the major points of dispute between political science and political geography (Johnston & Pattie, 2006, 40-43). but depend to some degree on place and location (Flint, 1996;Johnson, Phillips Shively, & Stein, 2002;O'Loughlin, Flint, & Anselin, 1994;Sui & Hugill, 2002;Vilalta y Perdomo, 2004).

“…First, the constituency system provides data that easily demonstrate spatial variation. There is also periodic attention to historical cases (Flint, 2001;O'Loughlin et al, 1994), and elections outside Europe and the Anglo-American core (Clem, 2006;Fox & Lemon, 2000;Hsu, 2009;Martis, Kovacs, Kovacs, & Peter, 1992;Osei-Kwame & Taylor, 1984;Perepechko, Kolossov, & ZumBrunnen, 2007;Vilalta y Perdomo, 2004). Nonetheless, the collection edited by Warf and Leib (2011) includes case studies from Europe and Asia in addition to those of the UK and USA.…”

For example, early work-ironically by political scientist Key (1949)-found that support for candidates was relatively greater in areas close to the candidate's home, an approach and finding that is still replicated in contemporary geographic research (Gimpel, Karnes, McTague, & Pearson-Merkowitz, 2008).…”

Electoral geography: From mapping votes to representing power

In some ways, electoral geography has never been more popular. From the detailed, online maps of the Brexit vote to discussions of the electoral college versus the popular vote in the 2016 Trump–Clinton U.S. presidential contest, the relationships among geography, voting, and political power have seldom been more visible. The popularity of electoral geography in social and news media, however, does not necessarily reflect its presence in scholarly discussions, and indeed, in some ways, the former has replaced the latter. Digital technology and the burgeoning availability of electronic data mean that it is easier than ever to create maps of votes, often in near real time. Yet the academic field of electoral geography encompasses more than just mapping votes, including the study of election campaigns, political parties, electoral systems, and gerrymandering. The 3 major approaches are the geography of voting (mapping and visualizing votes), geographic influences on voting (the effect of place on political preferences and behavior), and the geography of representation (the analysis of electoral systems). Indeed, the structure of the electoral system, including gerrymandering, is often the key to understanding how political and racial/ethnic minorities can (or cannot) wield power and influence. This article examines each approach after a brief review of the historical origins of the subfield.

“…Vote choice, therefore, depends on the structure of each locale, on the individual socioeconomic characteristics of its residents (Cox, ; Reynolds, , ), and on the probability of social intercourse among them. In sum, voters’ preferences are conditional on where they live (Agnew, ; Burbank, ; Baybeck and McClurg, ; Cox, ; Huckfeldt, ; Huckfeldt and Sprague, ; Johnston, ; Vilalta‐Perdomo, ) . It is in this context that social structure positions itself at the core of political regionalisms that arise not only as the materialization of different geographic bases of support for different parties, or as the aggregation of some places being more liberal and others more conservative.…”

Objective This article investigates the role of income and income heterogeneity on voters’ preferences for the conservative party. Methods Fitting a series of logistic regressions on exit poll data from the 2006 and 2012 Mexican presidential elections. Results We find that heterogeneity mediates the effect of income on the probability of voting for the conservative candidate. Conclusion In more heterogeneous places, rich voters are more likely to support the candidate on the right than their counterparts in more homogeneous places, while poorer voters are more likely to vote for Partido Accion Nacional in less heterogeneous places. In more heterogeneous states, voters are more likely to encounter members of other socioeconomic groups who prompt them to vote for the party that better represents their group's interests.
