Abstract: After a one-year meeting hiatus due to Covid-19, APCG members gleefully gathered, in-person and online, for the Eighty-Third Annual Meeting at San Diego State University (SDSU). Much to the organizers' relief, 149 people pre-registered for the meeting, with 66 online and 83 in-person attendees, plus several folks who registered in person.This year's meeting was unique for many reasons and was aptly themed "Geographies of Transition." Organizers Atsushi Nara, Liz Ridder, and Yolonda Youngs, each from a different California State University (CSU)—SDSU, CSU San Marcos, and CSU San Bernardino—banded together to bring a hybrid meeting format to APCG without losing long-standing APCG meeting traditions. This ... Read More

Abstract: Jad Aljersh, jad.aljersh.431@my.csun.edu, CSU Northridge. Behavioral Change About Meat Consumption in Younger Adults to Address Climate Change. Meat-based diets have always been the norm in western societies in modern history. A large increase in population size over the past century has led this to become problematic as demand for meat production, a major contributor to global warming, has highly increased. While the ethical perspective has been the main motivator for vegetarians and vegans, little awareness about the environmental footprint of the meat industry is being provided to consumers who have not been moved by ethical reasons. We conducted a study among college students, in which they were provided with ... Read More

Abstract: Daniel Arreola presented his first professional paper to the Tucson APCG in 1976, a study from his master's thesis about the Sacramento Delta Chinatown of Locke, California. Since his return to the APCG region in 1990, after an early posting in the Lone Star state, he has been a regular contributor to the annual meetings on subjects about Mexican border towns and Mexican-American cultural landscapes. Following nearly three decades as a faculty member at Arizona State University, he retired to New Mexico in 2016 but still participates in the annual gatherings of the APCG. His contributions to the organization include editor of Pacifica, vice-president and president, co-chair of the 2005 Phoenix meeting, and chair of ... Read More

Abstract: Geography is indeed about maps, and biography about chaps (and all people), but the two can overlap! As Carl Sauer once noted, "a good knowledge of the work of one or more of our major personalities is about as important an introduction into geography as I am able to suggest" (Sauer 1963: 355). For those of an historical and archival bent, much can be learned about geography and geographers by perusing not only geographers' books, but their manuscript and typescript papers, letters, and notes, including inscriptions and dedications in books that they have gifted to others. This essay explores some of these miscellaneous jottings to glean some further knowledge about these personalities, and perhaps some further ... Read More

Abstract: Although we oftentimes think of national parks as natural wonderlands, their outward appearance conceals a complex human history and geography. Numerous scholars over the years have introduced us to the web of management problems that challenge park superintendents and their staffs daily. While some have focused on the legacy effects of dispossession and equitable access (Jacoby 2014; Machlis and Jarvis 2017), others have studied conflicts over wilderness designation, ecological management, protection of cultural resources, and tourism and development (Harvey 2000; Sellars 2009; Dilsaver 2016a; Tweed and Dilsaver 2016; Watt 2017). As these and other researchers have shown, parks also face threats emanating from ... Read More

Abstract: A World Catalog graphic of associated subjects linked to Donald W. Meinig suggests the following topics in relation to his most popular published books: historical geography, landscape assessment, Texas, Columbia River Valley, and United States Southwest (WorldCat 2021). Meinig's chronology of published writings about the American West was launched with his now-classic paper "The Mormon Culture Region: Strategies and Patterns in the Geography of the American West, 1847–1964," which appeared in the Annals of the Association of American Geographers in June of 1965 (Meinig 1965). Perhaps his most ambitious theoretical writing, the Mormon culture region essay introduced Meinig's core-domain-sphere model of hierarchical ... Read More

Abstract: Post-industrial neighborhoods—areas where former factories, warehouses, railyards, and shipyards have been redeveloped for new uses—offer important windows into urban change and broader social changes. While they comprise a small percentage of a city's land base, post-industrial neighborhoods are often highly visible symbols of urban revitalization, offering the possibility of more-sustainable urban living, and highlighting the changing economics and demographics of the inner city. Once centers for the production and transportation of goods, these inner-city areas have become centers for lifestyle-oriented consumption and the new knowledge economy. In Portland, Oregon, two former industrial areas—the Pearl District ... Read More

Abstract: The majority of geospatial decision problems by nature involve multiple and conflicting spatial evaluation criteria. As a result, substantial efforts have been made to aggregate geographic information systems (GIS) with multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA). The primary rationale behind the advancement of theoretical and developmental aspects of this integration is that these two areas of research complement one another with synergetic capabilities. It is within this context that a GIS-based multicriteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) can be defined as a procedure that combines spatial evaluation criteria and their relative importance into a final solution map that, in turn, could offer insight and form policies ...
