Jin-Kyu Jung publishes three new papers

IAS faculty member Jin-Kyu Jung returns from sabbatical, having published 3 papers. The first is “,” in Professional Geographers. The article reflects on Jung’s teaching of a community-based learning and research course, BIS352 Mapping Communities, and highlights the role of geography in promoting community engagement, and considers mapping and spatial thinking as a unique method for encouraging faculty, students, and community to engage in community partnerships.
The second is “” in Establishing Geographies of Children and Young People, edited by T. Skelton and S. Aitken. The chapter introduces 'affective geovisualization' as a qualitative and emotional form of geographic visualization through which children may elicit their own accounts and feelings. It shows an effort to represent non-representable children’s affective and emotional geography by contributing the theory of emotion/affect and children’s geographies in relation to mapping and geovisualization.
The third is a co-authored paper (with Ilyoung Hong at Nam-Seoul University in Korea), “” in Cartographica. Based on a case study of Foursquare venues and user-created content in Seattle, the paper assesses both the quantitative spatial distribution and the qualitative characteristics of coffee shots in Seattle. It proposes a new analytical method, “code cluster,” which is designed to explain geographical differences in terms of qualitative traits in cluster regions, in addition to analyzing their spatial characteristics and distributions.
