“…However, as individual survey data became more readily available, the two were integrated in attempts to mitigate the ecological fallacy (presuming aggregated trends and patterns map onto individual ones). Matching trends in social sciences at the time, this ‘quantitative-theoretical orientation’ in electoral geography was often behaviourist in nature (Rowley, 1969: 398) but also interdisciplinary, linking primarily to research in political science but also law, history, social psychology, sociology, economics, and opinion surveying (Kovalcsik and Nzimande, 2019: 208).…”

“…The threads discussed above draw upon very different methodological traditions. The spatial-analytic approach is closer to political science than anything else under the umbrella of contemporary political geography (Ethington and Daniel, 2007, although Kovalcsik and Nzimande, 2019 make a case for some overlap with quantitative urban geography). In contrast, the social-cultural and post-structural strands are part of the cultural turn.…”

The sub-discipline of electoral geography contains research threads that draw on different theoretical, philosophical, and methodological traditions. I link these threads to the ‘digital turn’ that is occurring in the electoral landscape and in the discipline of geography itself. The use of digital technology is increasingly shaping electioneering and data regimes, providing new conceptual challenges concerning the spatial mediation and subsequent knowledge politics of voting and campaigning. Responding to these challenges requires not only building on the subfield’s tradition of interdisciplinarity but also on strengthening intra-disciplinary dialogue, in particular working across the quantitative–qualitative divide.

“…The appropriate choice of the scale for analysis is crucial (Fabula, Timár 2016), since the chosen areal unit # the applied scale # has a modi•able e•ect on the analysed data, which can lead to ecological misconceptions in several cases. This su&ces a problem de•ned as a modi•able areal unit problem (MAUP) (Kovalcsik, Nzimande 2019;Maantay, Maroko 2009;Swift, Liu, Uber 2008).…”

In recent decades, environmental justice has become a defining concept in socio-spatial inequality research, political debates, and activism. Environmental justice research, which is essentially based on theories of social and spatial justice and providesa normative framework for thinking, focuses on the unequal distribution of environmental harms and risks and their social consequences. Environmental justice research aims to explore the economic, social, health, and legal differences that individuals and groups face in their environment as a result of environmental processes, decision making, power relations, and law enforcement practices. This is largely related to the subjective perception of individuals and the perception of injustices by different actors. In the vast majority of environmental justice studies, spatiality provides a framework for interpreting and understanding environmentally unjust situations and processes. Environmental justice is therefore not only a natural, but also a socially dependent phenomenon, in which the key element is nevertheless the non-human factor (e.g. environmental events such as floods), which affects individuals and groups indifferent ways. As a result, an environmentally unjust state and situation may occur. The evolved injustices also interact with inherited spatial inequalities, existing socioeconomic systems, and the institutional structures that originally shape them. This paper summarizes the theoretical framework of environmental justice in geography and spatial sciences. The study adapts the theory of justice to post-socialist and Hungarian specificities and forms of environmental injustice, and examines decision-making processes and the perception of risks. In Hungary social problems and differences have been increasing in recent decades, and marginalisation and polarisation processes have added new spatial patterns to existing inequalities, directly and indirectly affecting environmental processes as well. Attempts at eliminating environmental injustices have resulted in new injustices, or deepened existing ones, due to the lack of a complex socio-environmental spatial approach of interventions. The solution to these injustices presupposes the effective and meaningful involvement of the affected people in policy-making and implementation processes, regardless of gender, age, origin, identity, or income. Otherwise, the unjust situation will persist and crisis areas affected by environmental injustices may develop.

This research discusses the voting behavior of the people of Klaten in the 2020 local election in relation to the victory of the pair Sri Mulyani and Yoga Hardaya (MULYO). The purpose of this study is to identify the factors influencing voters in casting their votes for Sri Mulyani and Yoga Hardaya in the 2020 Klaten regional head election. The focus of this research was conducted in the Trucuk District as it has the largest Permanent Voter List (DPT) in Klaten. This study uses a mixed, quantitative-qualitative method. The quantitative approach was conducted with a survey research method on 397 people. The data analysis method used is multiple linear regression analysis. As for the qualitative approach, the researchers conducted in-depth interviews with several informants encountered. The results show that the voting behavior of the Klaten community is influenced by some factors, such as; Sociological, Psychological, Rational Choice, thus leading to the victory of the MULYO pair. The psychological factor becomes the dominant factor in determining choice by considering the prominence and party identification towards PDIP with a coefficient of 0.029. Meanwhile, the rational choice factor has a small influence on the selection of the regent candidate.
