Creating Skateboarding Spaces Or Corralling Skaters? The Rise Of Public Skateparks In Rural Northeast Alabama, Stephen G. Tsikalas, Mark Allen Jones, Jr.
Creating Skateboarding Spaces Or Corralling Skaters? The Rise Of Public Skateparks In Rural Northeast Alabama, Stephen G. Tsikalas, Mark Allen Jones, Jr.
The Geographical Bulletin
The construction of a series of public skateboarding parks (skateparks) in rural areas in northeast Alabama came about between 2005 and 2007. Skateparks are expensive projects for rural Alabama city governments to undergo; yet, numerous parks have been built within the last decade. Our research explores why these parks were built, where space was allocated for the park, who funded them, and how the space is regulated. The majority of our data come from interviewing city authorities or parties that had a role in funding or campaigning for a skatepark. We have found the establishment of these parks had mix …
Performance Art And Pedestrian Experience: Creating A Sense Of Place On The Third Street Promenade, Kalli F. Doubleday
Performance Art And Pedestrian Experience: Creating A Sense Of Place On The Third Street Promenade, Kalli F. Doubleday
The Geographical Bulletin
It is well attested that wherever people gather, acrobats, poets, musicians, dancers, and tricksters also appear and perform. Although street performers can be found throughout the entire world, they are curiously shunned in New York City, while Plovidiv, Bulgaria in March 2015 decided to follow other European cities in having auditions or qualifiers for performers in public places. This research adds to scholarship on performance art as a beneficial element in developing a sense of place in urban environments, particularly pedestrian malls. A hundred surveys were collected from Promenade visitors to highlight these connections in a case study of street …

#Makeamericaspollsgreatagain: Evaluating Twitter As A Tool To Predict Election Outcomes, Jaryd Hinch
The Geographical Bulletin
Traditional political polling methods have become less reliable as society adopts more smartphone technology. Internet and social media use have also risen due to increased smartphone use, which have given a digital voice to political views. This study assessed one social media platform, Twitter, as a means for predicting election outcomes more accurately than traditional methods. Michigan and Wisconsin’s ‘tweets’ related to the 2016 presidential election campaign slogans of candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were compiled and a numerical comparison was performed. WordCloud technology was employed for a visual representation of the numerical data. Numerical comparison yielded results and …
Paleo Environment And Archaeology Provide Cautionary Tales For Climate Policymakers, Brett Kaufman, Christopher S. Kelly, Richard S. Vachula
Paleo Environment And Archaeology Provide Cautionary Tales For Climate Policymakers, Brett Kaufman, Christopher S. Kelly, Richard S. Vachula
The Geographical Bulletin
Federal climate policy in the United States is still in its infancy and is in large part characterized by efforts to reach a consensus on the very existence and causality of climate change. This has stemmed from a sociopolitical rift within the country, with the objectivity and usefulness of science attacked by detractors. Scientists who are most qualified to defend their methods and provide information to policymakers rarely have an institutional incentive to share this knowledge, but should be encouraged to communicate their findings to the public, especially those who receive public funding. By not doing so, they are effectively …

Blurring The Protagonist/ Antagonist Binary Through A Geopolitics Of Peace: Star Trek’S Cardassians, Antagonists Of The Alpha Quadrant, Hannah C. Gunderman
Blurring The Protagonist/ Antagonist Binary Through A Geopolitics Of Peace: Star Trek’S Cardassians, Antagonists Of The Alpha Quadrant, Hannah C. Gunderman
The Geographical Bulletin
The plotlines of many science fiction television programs and films establish the identities of the protagonists and antagonists at an early stage of the viewing experience . T hese boundaries serve to position the viewer on a particular side of the story, rendering it difficult to fully consider the Other’s actions and motivations . It is in this manner that media influences our perceptions of place and social dynamics through a formation of popular geopolitics . In this paper, I present the Cardassians, an extraterrestrial species in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, as a …
Star Trek And The Anthropological Machine: Eliding Difference To Stay Human, Jacob Barber
Star Trek And The Anthropological Machine: Eliding Difference To Stay Human, Jacob Barber
The Geographical Bulletin
This article considers the work of Giorgio Agamben’s ‘Anthropological Machine’ (2004) in the depiction of human-nonhuman interactions in Star Trek . While Star Trek aims to present a utopian vision of the future, a contradictory reading is equally plausible . Instead of embracing novel encounters with nonhuman life and technology, Star Trek retreats into an idealized vision of the human . Encounters with the nonhuman become vehicles through which to reinforce this vision of a bounded and pure human subject . In Star Trek, humans are made to be human through their constant encounters with nonhuman forms, and the possibility …
“Most Damning Of All… I Think I Can Live With It”: Captain Sisko, President Obama, And Emotional Geopolitics, David K. Seitz
“Most Damning Of All… I Think I Can Live With It”: Captain Sisko, President Obama, And Emotional Geopolitics, David K. Seitz
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper argues that the proliferation of geographical inquiry into popular culture as a prism for understanding geopolitical processes can benefit from more sustained engagement with psychoanalytic theory, particularly the work of Melanie Klein . Klein’s account of guilt and the urge to make reparation as both central to the development of conscience and profoundly unevenly distributed contributes to a critique of dominant, uneven geographies of guilt and encourages a nuanced approach to guilt’s potential ethical implications . To illustrate, I identify resonances between the contradictory legacy of the Obama administration and the character of Captain Sisko on the television …
Alternative Pasts, Presents, And Futures In Star Trek: Historical Engagement And Representation Through Popular Culture, Mark Alan Rhodes Ii
Alternative Pasts, Presents, And Futures In Star Trek: Historical Engagement And Representation Through Popular Culture, Mark Alan Rhodes Ii
The Geographical Bulletin
Star Trek has long used its unique situation as a socially and politically engaged television show to approach contemporary, historical, and futuristic ideas of race, labor, gender, nature, landscape, and place . The concept of alternate perceptions of history continues to provide engaging insights into historical representation . This paper explores how Star Trek, as an example of performance, media, and popular culture, contributes to dialogues of alternate pasts, presents, and futures . It builds upon these concepts to engage with and influence geographical dialogues of public space, nature, geopolitics, and societal structure . I explore examples from the television …

Introduction: The Geographies Of Star Trek, Mark Alan Rhodes Ii, Fiona M. Davidson, Hannah C. Gunderman
The Geographical Bulletin
There are relatively few media products that can compete with Star Trek in terms of longevity and cultural saturation . First introduced to audiences in 1966, the franchise now encompasses more than fifty years, six television series, thirteen films, countless spin-off novels and ancillary books, multiple annual international fan conventions and an enduring place in the popular culture lexicon of the English language—a remarkable feat for a television show that almost never made it to the screen and, even when it did, was canceled for poor ratings after just three seasons . San Francisco served as both the site of …
Owning The Future: Manifest Destiny And The Vision Of American Hegemony In Star Trek, Fiona M. Davidson
Owning The Future: Manifest Destiny And The Vision Of American Hegemony In Star Trek, Fiona M. Davidson
The Geographical Bulletin
As one of the most enduring television franchises of the late 20th century, Star Trek has had an unparalleled influence on the popular culture representation of humanity’s future as ultimately utopian . In this paper, however, I argue that even as the on-screen text of Star Trek was condemning the narrow parochial interests of nationalism, greed, xenophobia and fear, the narrative subtext throughout the fifty years of the franchise supported the idea of the expansion of western hegemonic power . The paper utilizes examples from all f ive series and the thirteen films to illustrate the ways in which western …

Environmental Impact Of Power Five Conference Realignment, Bradley Farley, Lisa M. Dechano-Cook, Lucius F. Hallett, Iv
The Geographical Bulletin
NCAA Division I athletic conferences have recently undergone conference realignments . The expanding geographic footprint of these conferences has led to teams having an increased travel distances for all sports . T his research investigates the environmental impact that conference realignment has had in the “Power 5” conferences in NCAA Division I football . Based on travel distances, has the carbon footprint of the conferences changed dramatically from pre-realignment to post-realignment? In order to answer this question, we examined the changes in average travel distances for each conference pre- and post-alignment . We then calculated the carbon footprints resulting from …

Leon Yacher: Scholar, Mentor, And Eclectic Geographer, Michael S. Devivo
The Geographical Bulletin
As Kenzer (2001) has noted, “unlike practitioners in other academic fields, when it comes to the intellectual history of our discipline, geographers love to dabble .” However, examining this dabbling has normally been restricted to examining the contributions of faculty in Ph .D .-granting departments . Indeed, our discipline’s history is rich, but written accounts are incomplete, for the voices of geographers serving in undergraduate programs at colleges and universities of little prestige have for the most part been silent . These programs are housed in institutions that are home to the vast majority of academic geographers, many of whom …

Rhizoplaca Chrysoleuca As An Alternative Lichenometric Species: A Preliminary Investigation At The Lawn Lake Alluvial Fan, Rocky Mountain National Park, Co Usa, Jennifer Shanteau, Casey D. Allen
The Geographical Bulletin
Lichenometry can be a useful tool to date past events when surface ages are unknown . As a method, lichenometry needs to overcome uncertainties in the understanding of lichen biology . Being fairly ubiquitous, Rhizocarpon geographicum is generally used for dating purposes . Other lichens can and have been used for studies, but are often used in conjunction with R . geographicum . This case study suggests that for areas lacking R . geographicum, Rhizoplaca chrysoleuca may be used as an alternate species if the substrate in question does not have substantial R . geographicum growth . While R . …

The overabundance of suburbs planned and built on greenfield grounds formerly classified as green-belt property is the consequence of ineffective urban development limits. It would be unnecessary to further intrude onto precious greenfield property, which is vital for future recreational, biodiversity, forestry, agricultural, and food supply needs. Controlling the growth of developed land, prohibiting the construction of tall buildings close to the shore, and establishing green open spaces with an emphasis on areas with elevated surface temperatures are the adaptation strategies for reducing Jakarta's urban heat island phenomenon. Urban population growth contributes to increased carbon dioxide emissions, which exacerbates climate …

AUIQ Technical Engineering Science
The watershed dams water harvesting establishment is a complex decision-making process due to the existence of several critical factors on which the project is based adopted. Such complexity renders consideration for the priority scale of development, especially when the project considers several possible sites against a plethora of criteria. These criteria may be of a technical, economic, social, cultural, environmental, legal, and political nature, thereby increasing the complexity of the framework under which the decision has to be made. Appropriate solutions for the challenge have to consider Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approaches. MCDM is defined as an organized approach to decision-making …

The establishment of check dams is considered an essential component of watershed management and sustainability, as these structures have many purposes. This review study provides an overview of check dams uses using field-based data from all around the world. As a result of more than two decades of research work, check dams are built to manage sediment accumulation and soil erosion, lower upstream reach slopes, stabilize torrents, and control floods in a successful and efficient way. However, some of these researches showed that some projects had unsatisfactory outcomes. The failure of these projects was for many reasons including poor building …

Lack Of Inclusive Stakeholder Representation In Watershed Management Groups In The Midwest: A Threat To Legitimacy, Bruce M. Hall
Lack Of Inclusive Stakeholder Representation In Watershed Management Groups In The Midwest: A Threat To Legitimacy, Bruce M. Hall
The Geographical Bulletin
Legitimacy in natural resource management refers to the degree to which citizens accept and comply with stated plans and policies . Lack of legitimacy can threaten collaboration-based watershed groups that rely on voluntary compliance of major stakeholders to achieve their water quality goals . One of the most cited requirements for legitimacy in natural resource collaborations is inclusive representation . A study of several watershed groups in Wisconsin and Illinois was undertaken in order to find out if lack of inclusiveness is a threat to legitimacy within watershed groups that could impede the success of such organizations in meeting their …

A Giscience Approach To Analyzing Spatial Patterns Of Voter Turnout In Omaha, Nebraska, Kaitlyn Taylor, H. Jason Combs, Paul R. Burger
The Geographical Bulletin
Scholars from a variety of disciplines have analyzed voter participation, with most studies focusing on socio-demographic issues to explain turnout . Often overlooked, however, is the geography of voter participation . Omaha, Nebraska presents an economically and ethnically diverse study area to examine geographic factors related to turnout . Over 51 percent of the state’s registered voters live in three counties—Douglas, Sarpy, and Lancaster—which contain the Omaha and Lincoln metropolitan areas . This project employs Geographic Information Science (GIScience) along with electoral geography principles and spatial analysis to evaluate voter participation across the Omaha metropolitan area .
