Flood inundation mapping in data-scarce areas: A case of Mbire District, Zimbabwe
- First Published: 12 March 2022

This study highlights the need and application of easy to use models in flood risk mapping especially in poor data or ungauged areas/basins for preparedness and response to floods. The model proposed in this study is based on data from household survey, transect walks and digital elevation model (DEM). The modelled flood extent agreed reasonably well with what was reported during the survey.
On the intention to cycle for work and school trips in a developing country
- First Published: 15 March 2022

The study explored the intention to cycle for work and school trips. Respondents' perceived behavioural control was the most important predictor of their intention to cycle for work and school trips. Respondents' attitudes toward cycling and subjective norms did not influence the intention to cycle for work and school trips.
Talking methods, talking about methods: Invoking the transformative potential of social methods through animals, objects and how-to instructions
- First Published: 23 March 2022

This paper focuses on "talking methods," drawing on interviews conducted with academic researchers as part of the Methods for Change project. We highlight three creative talking techniques used within the project to elicit discussion of the transformative potential of social science methods: (i) how-to instructions; (ii) object interviewing; and (iii) methods as animals. We argue that academics need to articulate why methods matter in creating change to global challenges, and that creative techniques can play a pivotal role.
The love of nature: Imaginary environments and the production of ontological security in postnatural times
- First Published: 28 March 2022

There has been little attention given to how nature can provide a sense of security in times of the Anthropocene. Based on image-based interviews conducted in Vancouver, BC, and inspired by psychoanalytic theory, this paper aims to understand how, even under today's “postnatural” conditions, nature still persists as an imaginary in the social reality of urban everyday life.
Mind mapping in qualitative data analysis: Managing interview data in interdisciplinary and multi-sited research projects
- First Published: 06 April 2022

This paper aims to outline what mind maps are, how they work, and have been applied in key research literature. By using my PhD research as a case study I demonstrate how mind maps can be used to analyse large amounts of data to help provide a succinct analysis ready to start writing up from. This is particularly useful for interdisciplinary and multi-sited research not conducting a discourse analysis.
Individual mobility pattern in Malaysia during COVID-19 Recovery Movement Control Order partial lockdown
- First Published: 20 June 2022

Malaysia Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) aims to bring the business, education, tourism, and other industries sectors back into operation. Individual mobility patterns are expected to occur due to movement constraints that result in changes in local economic patterns. However, this matter needs further investigation from the perspective of people's spatial behavior during the RMCO. Therefore, this research proposed a new technique in analyzing people’s spatial behavior patterns via geo-tagged data. The data from social media users is gathered using the data mining techniques. Geographical Information System (GIS) is used to show the geo-location of social media users and analyse their spatial behavior. The finding of this analysis shows higher people’s movement recorded when the RMCO was enforced. Distinctive pattern where spatial trajectories length is high but spatial area coverage is low. It is noticed that the focal points are concentrated in urban areas and tourism attractions.
