Description:
In the wake of the global pandemic, a rising number of human activities transpire in virtual space, like online learning, virtual meetings, online shopping, etc. People are now getting used to conduct their daily tasks in a hybrid physical-virtual world. The emergence of this increasingly hybrid physical-virtual world has brought forth major challenges to both human dynamics research and GIScience research. To address these challenges, the concept of locations in absolute space implemented in conventional GIS becomes insufficient. We need to study human dynamics from a holistic perspective that covers different concepts of space and place including locations in absolute space, locale in relative space, place identity in relational space, and sense of place in mental space (Shaw & Sui, 2020). This session aims at facilitating discussions on how GIScience should evolve in an increasingly hybrid physical-virtual world to better model and analyze human dynamics, which is fundamental to addressing challenges such as climate change, sustainable development, social justice that are closely related to human dynamics.
