ABSTRACT This study puts emphasis on a literature review of current theoretical strands in two major fields: food security and rural-urban linkage. It then critically evaluates the relation between these two. It examines the extent to which the preparation of the Food Security Vulnerability Atlas developed by the World Food Programme considers the rural-urban linkage dimension. The linkage and differences between rural and urban characteristics that significantly affect the pillars of food security are explored based on empirical data obtained from two local governments in Central Java Province, Indonesia. This study shows that the dimension of rural-urban linkage has been included in the Food Security Vulnerability Atlas preparation guideline in Indonesia, although the notion of rural-urban linkage is not explicitly mentioned in the guideline. However, translation of such guideline at the municipality and regency government levels is problematic due to a lack of data readiness. Meanwhile, attempts to modify food security indicators to adapt to data availability are somehow not compatible with the notion of rural-urban linkage.

ABSTRACT This paper contributes to a geographically-informed preliminary assessment of the diverse and uneven immediate impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, and outlines an agenda for geographical studies of its longer term effects. Intrigued by the apparent tendency of an inverse relationship between a country’s health security capacities and Covid-19 mortalities, the paper explores the significance of a range of geographically situated contextual factors in the realms of the economy, governance and culture as mediators of the public health impacts of Covid-19, and questions how these realms may also be reshaped by this viral pandemic. The paper concludes with reflections on the path dependency and state centrality of pandemic response, and the potential post-pandemic reconfiguration of state-market-society relationships.

ABSTRACT This study examines how efforts to establish stable human relationships centered on therapeutic spaces helped a local community cope or adjust after the MV Sewol shipwreck. In the wake of this disaster, various human relationships in the affected community were shattered. The Korean government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) set up seven therapeutic spaces to help people restore these relationships. This paper focuses mainly on NGOs’ therapeutic spaces, which share significant common characteristics. First, each therapeutic space encourages care recipients to divert their attention away from their sense of guilt regarding deaths resulting from the disaster and restore the individual's relationship with themselves through nonverbal activities. Second, the spaces try to recover individuals’ relationships with others through therapeutic encounters and interventions that embody unconditional devotion, sincerity, and understanding for both direct and indirect victims of the shipwreck. Third, these spaces establish a therapeutic network, thereby sharing recipient information and coordinating the integration of each resident. Fourth, these shared spaces created and reinforced a moral framework of reciprocity, dedication, and humanity in the community, thereby enhancing social awareness and empathy. In other words, these spaces forged a healing culture that made Koreans more sensitive to social issues and helped people move in a positive direction.

ABSTRACT This study stress-tests the hypothesized relationship between global city status and the level of urban inequality in the context of China’s globalizing cities. Based on a multi-level modelling analysis of the wage effect of Chinese cities’ global connectivity, this study identifies a “global connectivity wage premium” for professional occupations, urban individuals with post-graduate degrees, and producer service workers in Chinese cities, as well as a “global connectivity wage discrimination” for clerks and manual workers, urban individuals with no bachelor degree, and consumer service workers. The results confirm the positive association between the degree of global cityness and the level of wage inequality in globalizing China and suggest the presence of mechanisms specific to the Chinese case that undermine the city-wide spillover effects of high-skilled labor forces in globally oriented sectors. It echoes the recent call for “provincializing” global city studies and highlights an additional source of inequality in relation to China’s unrelenting trajectory toward a rising role in the world city network.

ABSTRACT For the last few decades, the development of mega-infrastructure projects has been high on the agendas of policymakers in Southeast Asia. Despite the potential benefits of such projects, there are also inevitable societal impacts that often lead to protests by local people. In general, most literature on megaprojects focuses solely on managing projects, with limited coverage of local people’s perceptions. This article, however, offers an analytical approach to perception making, adopted from psychology theories, which is then elaborated upon in a quantitative and qualitative empirical setting using the Suramadu cable-stayed bridge in Indonesia as a case study. Our main argument is that perceptions about megaprojects can change as a result of long-term, high-level exposure to such projects. The results imply the need for megaproject development to take people’s perceptions into account to bridge the gap between top-down expected benefits and bottom-up acceptance or rejection by those outside the central power.

ABSTRACT The evolution of land surface temperatures (LSTs) within the Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR) is examined with respect to patterns of urbanization from 2000 to 2019. Change detection as well as examinations of five periods within the 20 years yield insights into the spatial patterning of surface urban heat (SUH) within the BMR. Results suggest that the LSTs in portions of the BMR have increased more than 5°C during the 20-year period. The spatial distribution of SUH exhibits a pattern where high LSTs occur outward and primarily westward from the urban core along highways serving as development corridors and related regions of rapid urbanization. Nighttime LSTs have not increased as markedly as daytime; however, several noted “hotspots” have intensified over time and are located in districts along the southern seaboard. The greatest LST increase through the 20-year period is located in the northwest of the Bangkok urban core in Bang Kruai and Mueang Nonthaburi. A close investigation of this area indicates that the LST hotspots are co-located with rapid urban expansion into the area that has been facilitated by the destruction of orchards and other agriculture lands from a flood that occurred in 2011. The significant changes in land cover from orchards and agriculture to urban and built-up have led to the large increases in LSTs within the region.

ABSTRACT The existence of polycentric urban form has been widely discovered in worldwide urban development, yet the topic has received little attention in Southeast Asia. This study aims to explore urban spatial development in Indonesia, focusing on three historically globalized regions: the metropolitan areas of Medan, Jakarta, and Denpasar. It comprises subcenter identification and comparative morphological and functional polycentricity analyses using the latest economic census and commuter surveys data. The study confirms the polycentric structure of the Jakarta Metropolitan Area, while the other two metropolitan areas have a monocentric structure. The structural difference is due to the process of industrialization that shaped the development of metropolitan areas in Indonesia in various ways regardless of the spatial planning strategies.

ABSTRACT Nanjing, the capital of China's Jiangsu Province, has grown rapidly during the post-reform era and the pace of change placed tremendous pressure on the city's arable land resources. This case study of land use/land cover change (LU/LC) in Nanjing's Jiangning district assesses changes in agricultural land, production, and labor within the ten 2016-era jiedao (sub-district political units) of Jiangning from 2000 to 2015. This case study provides an opportunity to assess an important component of the Ginsburg-McGee desakota hypothesis predicting that Asian extended metropolis regions, unlike similar large cities in Western nations, will consistently maintain agricultural land and labor supplies within metropolitan boundaries. The study is based on field visits combined with time-series LU/LC analyses of a GIS database joining archived agricultural and agro-economic data with additional LU/LC data layers derived from satellite imagery including Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery. Results show Jiangning continues to retain high, if decreasing, proportions of agricultural land and employment. After significant decreases for all ten jiedao from 2000 to 2010, government policies appear to have helped stabilize arable land losses from 2010 to 2015. Jiedao in the closest proximity to Nanjing's central business districts lost arable land at greater rates than those in the periphery. OLS linear multiple regression analyses identified factors that are the most effective predictors of arable land persistence including lower mean annual income, higher percentage of men in the farm workforce, higher reliance on traditional double-cropped rice-wheat, and less vegetable production.

ABSTRACT A brand strategy gap refers to a deviation of the projected destination image of the destination marketing organizations (DMOs) from the perceived image of residents. This gap can be represented by the perceptions of the city’s most salient features and unique attractions by government officials and local residents. Given the difference in sample sizes, the gap is examined with the aid of CATPAC, a neutral network content analysis software which allows the quantification of the frequency and clustering of textual answers of the respondent groups, and the relationships across such answers. In Hong Kong, an empirical study confirms that the two groups share similarities and discrepancies regarding both the most salient destination images and unique attractions. They share characteristics of an urban destination as the first impression, and features (Victoria Harbour, cultural attributes, skyscrapers and beaches) that are unique attractions though respondents also create different mental interrelationships in their perceptions of the destination image.

ABSTRACT This paper intended to examine how local residents’ senses of place of tourism site and involvement in tourism could influence their attitude toward tourism, which eventually affected their support for tourism development. A questionnaire survey was conducted at eight neighborhoods surrounding Daming Palace Heritage Park, a UNESCO Cultural World Heritage Site. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to examine the relations among these variables. Results indicated that positive attitude of residents toward tourism positively affected their support for tourism development but negative attitude negatively affected their support. Whilst sense of place influenced both positive and negative attitudes, involvement influenced only the positive attitude. The findings may provide reference for the sustainable development of cultural tourism and heritage conservation of Cultural World Heritage Sites.
