The Annals of the American Association of Geographers  was first published in 1911. It is recognized as the Association's premier journal for major research articles for all fields of geography. To be accepted, a paper must adhere to a high standard of scholarship and make an important contribution to geographic knowledge. It should also be grounded in the relevant literature of the specialization it represents and, where appropriate, establish relationships to themes within the broader discipline. Contents may include invited essays, review articles, Presidential Addresses, and memorials.

The availability and use of geographic information technologies and data for describing the patterns and processes operating on or near the Earth's surface have grown substantially during the past fifty years. The number of geographic information systems software packages and algorithms has also grown quickly during this period, fueled by rapid advances in computing and the explosive growth in the availability of digital data describing specific phenomena. Geographic information scientists therefore increasingly find themselves choosing between multiple software suites and algorithms to execute specific analysis, modeling, and visualization tasks in environmental applications today. This is a major challenge because it is often difficult to assess the efficacy of the candidate software platforms and algorithms when used in specific applications and study areas, which often generate different results. The subtleties and issues that characterize the field of geomorphometry are used here to document the need for (1) theoretically based software and algorithms; (2) new methods for the collection of provenance information about the data and code along with application context knowledge; and (3) new protocols for distributing this information and knowledge along with the data and code. This article discusses the progress and enduring challenges connected with these outcomes.

Urban Perception Assessment from Street View Images Based on a Multifeature Integration Encompassing Human Visual Attention

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly reshaped urban mobility. During the lockdown, workers teleworked if possible and left home only for essential activities. Our study investigates the spatial patterns of essential travel and their socioeconomic differences during the COVID-19 lockdown phase in comparison with the same period in 2019. Using data from Columbus, Ohio, we categorized travelers into high, moderate, and low socioeconomic status (SES) clusters and modeled travel demand of SES clusters for both phases using spatially weighted interaction models. Then, we characterized the SES variability in essential travel based on frequently visited business activities from each cluster. Results suggest that disparities in travel across SES clusters that existed prior to COVID-19 were exacerbated during the pandemic lockdown. The diffused travel pattern of high and moderate SES clusters became localized and the preexisting localized travel pattern of low SES clusters became diffused. During the lockdown, the low and moderate SES clusters traveled mostly for work with long- and medium-distance trips, respectively, whereas the high SES cluster traveled mostly for recreational and other nonwork purposes with short-distance trips. This study draws some conclusions and implications to help researchers and practitioners plan for resilient and economically vibrant transportation systems in response to future shocks.

The growing availability of geospatial data that document both how violent actors are connected and where their attacks take place offers a unique opportunity to produce a more integrated approach to the evolution of armed conflicts. The goal of this article is to contribute to this agenda, by introducing the concept of the spatial conflict life cycle. This new concept allows for spatializing conflict networks over time by bringing together three approaches that have been developed separately: spatial analysis, network analysis, and temporal analysis. After reviewing the literature, we note that applications of space, networks, and time have been limited to combinations in pairs. The article then discusses how the concept of spatial conflict life cycle can conceptually bring them all together and how it can be applied to study the evolution of armed conflicts in Africa using disaggregated data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED) Project. Our results suggest that African armed conflicts express regularities in the way violence is spatially and temporally distributed. Conflicts tend to follow a certain number of common temporal stages in their geography that resemble a cycle, from the moment they emerge in specific regions, until they end.

The Spatial Conflict Life Cycle in Africa

非洲空间冲突生命周期

Equal exposure to quality-built environments fosters livable, inclusive cities. The neighborhood effect averaging problem (NEAP) suggests that daily mobility plays a crucial role in shaping environmental exposure. This study aims to unveil the NEAP in built-environment quality exposure. Street-view image data and mobile phone signaling data are coupled to measure built-environment quality in people's residential space and activity space. Subsequently, a conditional process analysis model is employed to investigate how daily mobility, income, and built-environment quality in residential space influence built-environment quality in activity space. The results indicate that (1) there is a significant disparity in built-environment quality exposure, although the disparity in activity space is smaller than that in residence; (2) income exerts a dual influence on built-environment quality in activity space through direct and indirect pathways, and the pathways could be moderated by high mobility; and (3) neighborhood effect averaging is evident at the individual level and manifests as a derived phenomenon associated with income groups. The findings provide insights for better serving environmental equality.
