In the aftermath of the 2005 Kashmir earthquake, the media played a central role in linking victims to the government apparatus and the national and international community and highlighting weaknesses in the disaster management process. This study was conducted to analyze and compare the ‘agenda setting role’ of the Pakistani newspapers with that of the Indian newspapers after the 2005 Kashmir earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 and resulting in over 78,000 fatalities in Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan and the Indian part of Kashmir. Two Pakistani and two Indian newspapers each with high circulation were selected for qualitative and quantitative analysis. A total of 630 articles were downloaded for analysis out of which 120 front page articles were finally analyzed with the help of five selected themes including extent of damage, phases of disaster, responsibility issues, types of framing and focus on disaster policies. The study revealed that there was a strong agenda setting role of both Pakistani and Indian newspapers in post 2005 Kashmir earthquake. The newspapers focused on broad policy issues using thematic framing techniques with a strong emphasis on response phase, whereas the least attention has been given to preparedness and mitigation strategies. The analysis further revealed that in both the countries, federal government was considered to be responsible for disaster management system by both Pakistani and Indian newspapers and the Indian newspapers have also strongly criticized the Indian army for their unsatisfactory emergency response operations. Newspapers are still one of the most important sources of information in many developing countries including Pakistan and India and they can play a positive role in the management of natural disasters by focusing on mitigation and preparation to prepare communities for future disasters.

Erosion susceptibility in vineyards is approximately one order of magnitude above the reference level calculated for all agricultural activities, and preventing soil erosion is thus one of the most important environmental issues in vineyards. Spatially explicit models are necessary to address the coevolution of erosion susceptibility and anthropogenic practices because of the heterogeneous spatial patterns of erosion within vineyards. In this paper, we apply the RUSLE model to assess erosion susceptibility through time in a Burgundy vineyard (Mercurey) at a catchment scale (15 km²). The model is first calibrated with data acquired in 2015-2018. Second, erosion susceptibility during former stages (1953 and 1984) is compared to current reference frame. Such theoretical comparison considers that both C (land cover) and LS (Length-Slope) factors evolved through time. We hypothesize that such factors reveal both the land use evolution (especially agricultural land uses) and the development of a soil erosion management strategy based on the collection of sediments using roads, hedges and ditches. The current reference frame of erosion susceptibility calculated at catchment scale is about 9,152 t.yr-1. In the early 1980s a peak in erosion susceptibility is concomitant with vineyard expansion during the second half of the 20th century. Erosion susceptibility in vine parcels in 1984 is estimated to be 32% higher than current period. In the mid-20th century the spatial patterns of agricultural land use (patchwork of grasslands and vines, vines on moderately-rugged hillslopes) led to moderate rates of erosion susceptibility. At this stage, past level of erosion susceptibility is estimated to be 40% lower than current reference frame.

Islands worldwide experience the commodification of land and natural resources owing to touristic activities and urbanization. Islands represent the epitome of commodified spaces, power, and territorialization. Therefore, focusing on islands reveals how the production of socionatures shapes the dynamics of capital accumulation, dispossession, and resistance. By paying attention to the interplay between insularity and socioecological transformations, we aim at expanding the literature on the neoliberalization of socionatures. We explore the contestation against urban tourism development in Tenerife in recent decades, such as the intense expansion of artificial land use since the touristic boom in mid-20th century, which was intensified through neoliberal capitalism by commodifying elements of everyday life. Environmental struggles inevitably facilitate greater mobilization than other claims. An empirical survey on the spatiotemporal evolution of this island illustrates and helps to deepen the conceptual development of the right to the island and to nature. We found that social contestation and its political emancipatory potential with the defense of nature and the demand for a different social and territorial island model highlights ‘right to nature’ as a central element in the fight for ‘right to the island.’

It is still an open question, which processes lead to the spatiotemporal specifications of observed near-surface temperature changes over recent decades. Here, we contribute to this debate by investigating a large number of theory-based atmospheric fields referring to the radiation and energy budget and to atmospheric dynamics that may serve as predictors for local temperature changes. The predictors are linked to temperature trends from reanalysis and climate model data, using a sophisticated spatial and temporal statistical model. Temperature changes since the mid-20th century exhibit distinct regional and seasonal differences. After 1990, the near-surface warming rate is more enhanced over landmasses rather than oceans and roughly increases with latitude in both hemispheres. While none of the considered predictors solitarily accounts for the spatial heterogeneity of recent temperature trends, their linear combination largely reproduces the observed cooling pattern during the mid-20th century and the enhanced warming pattern after 1990. This excludes high-altitude areas, sea ice margins and upwelling regions where local feedbacks and nonlinear processes prevail. The leading predictors pertain to radiative processes, especially downward longwave radiation, and changes in sensible heat fluxes. In the low latitudes, dynamical processes such as temperature advection and energy flux divergence also play a role. Until the end of the 21st century, the warming rate and its ocean-land contrast steadily increase. The underlying mechanisms are the same as the ones already established in present-day climate, but near-surface temperature follows more straightly the imposed greenhouse gas scenario. Climate models have different skills in reproducing the observed trend pattern but exhibit more or less the same mechanisms of temperature control.

Potential spatio-temporal patterns of renewable energies that take into account international climate protection strategies have been neither analysed nor visualised exactly in terms of their landscape complexity. Furthermore, it is unclear what land uses would be prevalent in new energy landscapes, due to a lack of restrictions, and which social conflicts would be associated with these land use changes. There is no knowledge at all about the extent to which existing land use, which has emerged from a capitalistic order, affects the achievement of a carbon-neutral and socially just society. It is also not clear how far it is possible to identify alternative spatial patterns of sustainable energy transition by altering spatial restrictions concerning renewable energies. For this reason, we want to model and visualise a regional energy landscape that corresponds to the objectives of the UN Climate Conference in terms of its regional greenhouse gas balance in the electricity sector. In this regard, the study provides a detailed analysis of the landscape transformations that would occur in rural spaces if those values which attempt to link energy transition to the Paris Agreement were to prevail. The analyses reveal that a strict orientation of the expansion of renewable energies towards climate protection goals would strongly mechanise rural areas, thus significantly transforming their social patterns.

Intellectual and cultural benefits from extended periods of self-isolation have a long history. The ongoing decline in academic freedom, however, distinguishes the coronavirus disease from previous crises. Despite the unprecedented political and economic challenges, as well as the devastating societal disruptions caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, this study focusses on the fresh opportunities the current coronavirus restrictions offer to question extant academic models and paradigms, in the spirit of creating a more equitable and sustainable research system in the future.

Based on traditional international theories, exporters always expand their export markets in an incremental way. However, there are many exporters who do not obey the traditional path and enter foreign markets at the beginning of their internationalization, so called ‘born globals (BGs)’. It seems that the BGs are more path-breaking, but the relative influence of local export network on both types of exporters remains an open question. Using firm-market level database of Chinese custom statistics during 2002-2011, we confirm that local export network of markets facilitates firms including BGs to enter the markets that are more related to the network. And the BGs even benefit more from the local export network of markets than traditional exporters (TEs).

Short-term rentals such as Airbnb have become a persistent element of today’s urbanism around the globe. The impacts are manifold and differ depending on the context. In cities with a traditionally smaller accommodation market, the impacts might be particularly strong, as Airbnb contributes to ongoing touristification processes. Despite that, small and medium-sized cities have not been in the centre of research so far. This paper focuses on Santa Cruz de Tenerife as a medium-sized Spanish city. Although embedded in the touristic region of the Canary Islands, Santa Cruz is not a tourist city per se but still relies on touristification strategies. This paper aims to expand the knowledge of Airbnb’s spatial patterns in this type of city. The use of data collected from web scraping and geographic information systems (GIS) demonstrates that Airbnb has opened up new tourism markets outside of the centrally established tourist accommodations. It also shows that the price gap between Airbnb and the housing rental market is broadest in neighbourhoods that had not experienced tourism before Airbnb entered the market. In the centre the highest prices and the smallest units are identified, but two peripheral quarters stand out. Anaga Mountains, a natural and rural space, has the highest numbers of Airbnb listings per capita. Suroeste, a suburban quarter, shows the highest growth rates on the rental market, which implies a linkage between Airbnb and suburbanization processes.

This contribution centres around a conversation with Emma Mawdsley, held at Goethe-University Frankfurt on 31 January 2019 in the context of the closing events of the programme on ‘Africa’s Asian Options’ (AFRASO) – a large interdisciplinary research programme, funded by the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) between 2013 and 2019. During this time, we investigated the heterogeneous spaces of interaction between Africa and Asia; it closed with a lecture series, entitled ‘Afrasian Futures’ during which Emma Mawdsley delivered the final lecture. In this contribution, we address contemporary debates and the evolution of development geography, focussing in particular on Mawdsley’s rich contributions as regards the role of ‘new’ development partners, such as China and so called ‘emerging economies’, and South-South cooperation as well as on transdisciplinary connections of the subdiscipline. It starts with an introductory part in form of a brief reflection on the role of development geography in the wider context of academic engagement with the broad complex of ‘development’, in particular as regards the interdisciplinary field of ‘development studies’. In the following we highlight two key aspects of Mawdsley’s work and contribution to such research: i) a long-term shift away from North-South towards South-South relations; and ii) an emphasis on socio-political dimensions of development geography through feminist and queer perspectives. Following an initial introduction, the remainder of the contribution consists of a conversation with Emma Mawdsley.

This article deals with the processes of decentralisation and functional specialisation in the Chinese mega-city region of the Pearl River Delta (PRD). The PRD is one of the three largest mega-city regions and is the most polycentric of the three. Spatial changes in economic activities from 2000 to 2010 were analysed, based on occupational data. This analysis showed that, on one hand, the large centres are undergoing an upgrade and the range of occupations in formerly predominantly industrial centres has been expanded to include high-quality service occupations. On the other hand, decentralisation processes of economic activities in the hinterland were observed. In the formerly small economic centres in the hinterland, industrial activities, in particular, are on the increase. Service occupations continue to be concentrated in the large centres.
