ABSTRACT Liveability is determined by characteristics of a place including walkability and access to natural environments. These two attributes can be quantified at a fine spatial scale providing insights into liveability. Most liveability studies focus on metropolitan areas, and we identified a research gap in regional liveability research. Using a case study on two towns in Indigo Shire in regional Victoria and focusing on older residents, we examined walkability and access to and attitudes about the natural environment. We found that opportunities for walking in regional towns can be limited, and that only a small number of older people walk regularly. Despite being largely surrounded by nature in regional towns, connection to nature and sense of community is sometimes lacking. In addition, measures of walkability and access to natural environments designed to be used in metropolitan environments do not translate well to regional areas. However, the data and insights gathered in this research helped build a context-specific understanding of liveability in each community and allowed us to provide useful recommendations to local government. While these recommendations are specific to the study area, the methodologies used, and insights gained are applicable to regional and rural towns in a wide range of contexts.
摘要 宜居性是由一个地方的特征决定的,包括步行能力和自然环境的可达性。这两个属性可以在精细的空间尺度上进行量化,从而为宜居性提供深入的见解。大多数宜居性研究都集中在大都市地区,而我们在区域宜居性研究中发现了一个研究空白。通过对维多利亚州地区靛蓝郡的两个城镇进行案例研究,并以老年居民为重点,我们考察了步行能力、自然环境的可及性以及人们对自然环境的态度。我们发现,在地区城镇中,步行的机会可能很有限,只有少数老年人经常步行。尽管地区城镇在很大程度上被大自然所包围,但有时却缺乏与自然的联系和社区感。此外,针对大都市环境设计的步行能力和自然环境可达性衡量标准并不能很好地应用于地区。不过,本研究收集的数据和见解有助于我们根据具体情况了解每个社区的宜居性,并为地方政府提供有用的建议。虽然这些建议是针对研究地区的,但所使用的方法和获得的见解适用于各种环境下的地区和农村城镇。

ABSTRACT ‘It’s a good life, that solar’. Australia is a world leader in per-capita deployment of rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV) with more than three million households realising benefits including reduced energy bills and improved energy security. However, these benefits are unevenly distributed. Research shows First Nations residents of public housing in remote Australia using prepay metering experience frequent ‘self-disconnection’ from energy services, a known indicator of energy insecurity. Upfront capital costs and an absence of local regulations codifying the ability to connect solar PV have long locked out these households from realising benefits of energy transition in regions host to world class renewable energy generation potential. This article describes early experiences of those residents among the first to install and grid-connect rooftop solar to prepay in Australia’s remote Northern Territory. In addition to reduced electricity expenditures, rooftop solar PV mitigates experiences of energy insecurity through reducing the incidence of involuntary ‘self-disconnection’ due to inability to pay. Support for rooftop solar for prepay households can alleviate frequent exposure to disconnection, bringing multiple co-benefits. Policy responses should focus on reducing barriers to realising the benefits of rooftop PV for priority communities, including First Nations families living in public housing using prepay.
摘要“太阳能是美好的生活”。澳大利亚在屋顶太阳能光伏(PV)的人均部署方面处于世界领先地位,超过300万户家庭实现了包括减少能源账单和改善能源安全在内的好处。然而,这些利益分配不均。研究表明,在偏远的澳大利亚,使用预付费计量的公共住房的原住民居民经常与能源服务“断开连接”,这是一个已知的能源不安全指标。前期资本成本和缺乏规范太阳能光伏连接能力的地方法规,长期以来使这些家庭无法在拥有世界级可再生能源发电潜力的地区实现能源转型的好处。这篇文章描述了那些在澳大利亚偏远的北领地率先安装并联网屋顶太阳能预付款的居民的早期经历。除了减少电力支出外,屋顶太阳能光伏还通过减少因无力支付而非自愿“断开连接”的发生率来缓解能源不安全的体验。为预付费家庭提供屋顶太阳能支持可以缓解频繁的断开连接,带来多重共同利益。政策应对措施应侧重于减少优先社区实现屋顶光伏效益的障碍,包括使用预付款居住在公共住房中的原住民家庭。

ABSTRACT Acceleration in political support for critical minerals industry development is linked to securing resource supply chains essential to low carbon futures. This commentary reviews the Australian critical minerals agenda, scrutinising urgency claims engulfing the ‘rush’ to extract critical minerals. First, we define critical minerals and examine their ‘criticality’ in relation to decarbonisation and geopolitical motivations. The idea that the emergent industry is premised on an ethics of climate action conflicts with evidence that reputational risk and market shifts are driving companies. Second, we problematise urgency claims, arguing that crisis narratives and regulatory fast-tracking mask serious socio-environmental justice concerns, while neglecting material blockages. We distinguish the production of materials central to low carbon futures from localised social and environmental impacts of their extraction and processing, raising concerns over the absolution work performed by urgency claims. The burgeoning critical minerals industry presents an epochal moment to reconstitute mining differently to meet socio-environmental justice goals. Instead, as currently imagined, it extends a frontier mentality and existing models of extractivism, reproducing colonial-capitalist legacies. We conclude by advocating for counter-urgencies that foreground materiality and view critical minerals as policy commons, enabling debates on the shape of the critical minerals industry before it is fully established.
摘要:加快对关键矿产行业发展的政治支持,与确保低碳期货所必需的资源供应链有关。这篇评论回顾了澳大利亚的关键矿产议程,仔细审查了吞噬关键矿产开采“热潮”的紧急声明。首先,我们定义了关键矿物,并研究了它们与脱碳和地缘政治动机之间的“关键性”。新兴行业以气候行动伦理为前提的观点与声誉风险和市场变化正在推动公司发展的证据相冲突。其次,我们对紧迫性主张提出质疑,认为危机叙事和监管快速追踪掩盖了严重的社会环境正义问题,而忽视了物质障碍。我们将低碳期货的核心材料生产与其提取和加工的局部社会和环境影响区分开来,这引发了人们对紧急索赔所做的赦免工作的担忧。新兴的关键矿产行业为以不同方式重建采矿业以实现社会环境正义目标提供了一个划时代的时刻。相反,正如目前想象的那样,它扩展了一种前沿心态和现有的榨取主义模式,再现了殖民资本主义的遗产。最后,我们主张采取反紧急措施,突出重要性,并将关键矿产视为政策公地,从而在关键矿产行业完全建立之前,就其形态展开辩论。

ABSTRACT Scholarship on ‘climate migration’ has traditionally focussed on the forced movement of people caused by the environmental impacts of climate change. However, this is only one part of the nexus between human movement and climate change. Consequently, researchers drawing on the ‘mobilities paradigm’, particularly those examining the topic of ‘mobility justice’, have sought to develop more encompassing conceptualisations of ‘climate mobilities’. In synthesising the different trajectories of this work, this paper identifies four key themes emerging within early ‘climate (im)mobilities’ scholarship. First, research on the way climate-related movement and stasis are represented and imagined. Second, examination of climate change’s impact on existing and ontologically significant (im)mobility practices. Third, analysis of the power relations that are enacted through climate (im)mobilities. And fourth, study of the inter-scalar nature of climate change-based (im)mobilities connecting disparate local mobility practices through their relationship to climate change. Research findings based on these themes are providing holistic accounts of the relationship between climate change and movement, and thus laying the groundwork for informed justice-based interventions in climate (im)mobility systems.

ABSTRACT City road verges often represent existing green space and provide opportunities for ecological enhancement. Urban greenspace improvement initiatives at the residential verge scale require genuine community support and engagement for success. We examined a community-based voluntary assisted verge greening program designed to enhance greenspace connectivity using native plants in a local municipality in Perth, Western Australia. A social survey of verge-greening program participants and non-participants was conducted to understand factors associated with community involvement. Results indicated general resident support for the program, where both groups viewed the program objectives positively. However, non-participants were less convinced, than participants, of the likelihood that the verge greening program would achieve its aims and the merits of some aims. This paper provides insight into a voluntary community engagement tool for developing urban green space connectivity and enhancing natural values at the residential roadside verge level.
摘要城市道路边缘通常代表现有的绿地,并为生态改善提供机会。住宅边缘规模的城市绿地改善举措需要真正的社区支持和参与才能取得成功。我们研究了一项基于社区的自愿辅助边缘绿化计划,该计划旨在利用西澳大利亚州珀斯市的本地植物增强绿地连通性。对边缘绿化项目参与者和非参与者进行了社会调查,以了解与社区参与相关的因素。结果表明,居民普遍支持该计划,两组人都积极看待该计划的目标。然而,与参与者相比,非参与者不太相信边缘绿化计划实现其目标的可能性以及某些目标的优点。本文深入探讨了一种自愿的社区参与工具,用于发展城市绿地连通性,提高住宅路边边缘的自然价值。

ABSTRACT Few meteorological terms have caused such debate as Atmospheric Rivers (ARs). ARs were proposed in 1992, but a formal definition for ARs was only developed in 2015 following the observational campaigns of the 2000s that led to a deeper physical understanding. ARs can cause extreme rainfall, flooding, landslides, damaging winds, glacier melt, and even polar heatwaves. Despite their well-documented global impacts, there has been relatively little research on this phenomenon in Australia. Compound events involving ARs led to the devastating 2021 and 2022 flooding in eastern Australia. The media were drawn to the metaphor of a ‘river in sky’ but the term has not been embraced by our national weather service, and some scientists still question their existence. This essay explores the controversy of the name Atmospheric River and highlights what could be achieved if we focused less on the name and more on the science.
摘要很少有气象术语像大气河流(ARs)那样引起这样的争论。AR是在1992年提出的,但在2000年代的观测活动之后,直到2015年才制定出AR的正式定义,这导致了更深入的物理理解。AR会导致极端降雨、洪水、山体滑坡、破坏性大风、冰川融化,甚至极地热浪。尽管它们的全球影响有据可查,但澳大利亚对这一现象的研究相对较少。涉及ARs的复合事件导致澳大利亚东部2021年和2022年发生毁灭性洪水。媒体被“天空中的河流”的比喻所吸引,但这个词并没有被我们的国家气象局所接受,一些科学家仍然质疑它们的存在。这篇文章探讨了大气河这个名字的争议,并强调了如果我们少关注这个名字,多关注科学,可以取得什么成就。

Our ‘Pacific family’. Heroes, guests, workers or a precariat? 我们的“太平洋大家庭”。英雄、客人、工人还是临时工?

ABSTRACT Australia launched a Seasonal Worker Programme (SWP) in 2012, shortly after a similar scheme in New Zealand, to bring seasonal workers from Pacific Island Countries (PICS) to work in agriculture. The scheme was seen as a potential ‘Triple Win' with sending and receiving countries, and workers' households, benefiting. Workers’ remittances contributed to welfare, especially housing and education, and small business establishment, but there were social costs associated with repeated absences. In 2018, Australia introduced the Pacific Labour Scheme (PLS) to extend guestwork opportunities into other areas of non-seasonal labour shortage such as aged care, tourism and meat processing. The shortage of local labour during COVID-19 demonstrated that Pacific guestworkers were invaluable to Australia, and in 2022 the schemes were revamped and expanded further as the PALM (Pacific Australia Labour Mobility) Scheme. Concern over a Chinese threat in the region gave further support for the expansion. PICs expressed concerns about exploitative practices, while higher rates of participation increased the potential for an incipient brain drain from the PICs, with wages roughly four times those at home, as migrants now left non-agricultural jobs. The expanded scheme continues to favour Australian employers leaving questions over, equity, uneven development and the future of the PICs.
摘要澳大利亚在2012年启动了一项季节性工人计划(SWP),该计划是在新西兰推出类似计划后不久推出的,旨在吸引太平洋岛国的季节性工人从事农业工作。该计划被视为潜在的“三赢”,派遣国和接收国以及工人家庭都将受益。工人的汇款有助于福利,特别是住房和教育,以及小企业的建立,但多次缺勤也会带来社会成本。2018年,澳大利亚推出了太平洋劳动力计划(PLS),将网络机会扩展到其他非季节性劳动力短缺领域,如老年护理、旅游和肉类加工。新冠肺炎期间当地劳动力的短缺表明,太平洋地区的员工对澳大利亚来说是非常宝贵的,2022年,这些计划被修改并进一步扩大为PALM(太平洋-澳大利亚劳动力流动)计划。对中国在该地区的威胁的担忧进一步支持了扩张。PICs对剥削行为表示担忧,而较高的参与率增加了PICs早期人才流失的可能性,因为移民现在离开了非农业工作,工资大约是国内工资的四倍。扩大后的计划继续有利于澳大利亚雇主,留下了关于公平、不均衡发展和PICs未来的问题。

The scheme was seen as a potential ‘Triple Win' with sending and receiving countries, and workers' households, benefiting. Workers’ remittances contributed to welfare, especially housing and education, and small business establishment, but there were social costs associated with repeated absences. In 2018, Australia introduced the Pacific Labour Scheme (PLS) to extend guestwork opportunities into other areas of non-seasonal labour shortage such as aged care, tourism and meat processing. The shortage of local labour during COVID-19 demonstrated that Pacific guestworkers were invaluable to Australia, and in 2022 the schemes were revamped and expanded further as the PALM (Pacific Australia Labour Mobility) Scheme. Concern over a Chinese threat in the region gave further support for the expansion. PICs expressed concerns about exploitative practices, while higher rates of participation increased the potential for an incipient brain drain from the PICs, with wages roughly four times those at home, as migrants now left non-agricultural jobs. The expanded scheme continues to favour Australian employers leaving questions over, equity, uneven development and the future of the PICs.","PeriodicalId":47337,"journal":{"name":"Australian Geographer","volume":"54 1","pages":"125 - 135"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48070989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Existing scholarship on footpaths, sidewalks, streets, and pavements integrates laudable discussions about legal and regulatory concerns alongside debates about safety and place-making. Yet there are fewer debates about diasporic encounters and place-making processes in this everyday space. Accordingly, this paper examines encounters that occur on footpaths and outside adjoining shops by the Sri Lankan diaspora in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia. The footpaths fall within the semi-public realm; they are public spaces connected to privately owned shops. I draw from a critical autoethnography and in-depth interviews conducted with Sri Lankans living in Australia to better understand how their place-making processes are entrenched in the semi-public realm. This paper provides a fresh case study to highlight the importance of warm and convivial encounters in everyday spaces that strengthen feelings of familiarity and belonging in host communities.
现有的关于人行道、人行道、街道和人行道的学术研究结合了关于法律和监管问题的值得称赞的讨论,以及关于安全和场所建设的辩论。然而,在这个日常空间中,关于散居者相遇和场所形成过程的辩论却很少。因此,本文考察了在澳大利亚悉尼和墨尔本的斯里兰卡侨民在人行道上和邻近商店外发生的遭遇。人行道位于半公共区域;它们是连接私人商店的公共空间。我从一本批判性的自我民族志和对生活在澳大利亚的斯里兰卡人的深入采访中汲取灵感,以更好地了解他们的地方制造过程是如何在半公共领域根深蒂固的。本文提供了一个新的案例研究,以强调在日常空间中温暖和欢乐的相遇的重要性,这可以加强东道国社区的熟悉感和归属感。
