“…For example, homeless populations and traveler communities are often excluded because their locations are not fixed to a particular address. We suggest mobile-device or GPS tracking and public participatory mapping to better study their activity spaces and potential short-and long-term exposures (Semborski et al, 2022). Furthermore, other underrepresented groups should not be dichotomized into aggregated groups if possible, such as LGBTQIA+, subgroups of chronically ill (e.g., various mental illnesses), and nondominant religions, retirees (Abo-Zena, 2010).…”

“…While the utility of remote sensing and GIS for capturing the spatial dimensions of social impacts in mining areas remains under-researched (Bennett et al, 2022;Hall, 2010;Semborski et al, 2022;Werner et al, 2019), there is an established practice of studying health impacts geospatially where GIS is used as the main tool of analysis (DeLemos et al, 2007;Diringer et al, 2015;Shandro et al, 2011;Winkler et al, 2010). It can be anticipated that with technical and conceptual advancement in GIS and remote sensing methods, an increase in their application is inevitable, and insights are likely to improve as a result of improvements in data (e.g.…”

As the mining industry expands, a comprehensive understanding of its socioeconomic risks and benefits is urgently needed. This paper systematically reviews 71 studies (1996–2021) that utilized spatially integrated approaches to evaluate socioeconomic mining impacts. The number of studies that utilize geographic information systems and remote sensing to study mining impacts increased from 2014 onwards. A framework was used to classify the mining impacts studied in the literature and all eight framework categories – Environment, Land, People, Community, Culture, Livelihoods, Infrastructure and Housing – were captured by the literature though Culture was least studied. Coal mining, active mining phase, Landsat data and classic remote sensing algorithms were most highlighted. Future research should focus on advancing geospatial technology like artificial intelligence (AI) to better capture intangible socioeconomic impacts, under-researched minerals and long-term mine lifecycle components. Spatially referenced social data can improve stakeholder involvement and support spatially explicit planning to ensure sustainability.

“…Previous research has sought to identify places where AEH spend time (Alexander-Eitzman et al, 2013), as this research may help inform policy and interventions geared toward providing better services and resources for AEH (Semborski et al, 2022). Homeless shelters are a particularly significant location for AEH because of the amount of time spent there sleeping, eating, socializing, and obtaining other services.…”

Does the relationship between affect and social interactions among adults experiencing homelessness differ during moments when at a shelter versus not?

The prevalence of alcohol‐use disorders is higher amongst adults experiencing homelessness (AEH) compared with domiciled adults. Greater exposure to heavy drinkers increases personal risk for heavy alcohol use. AEH spend substantial periods of time at shelters and report greater pressure to use alcohol when near shelter locations, as well as greater negative affect when near a shelter. It is unclear if the relationship between affect and (1) interacting with people and (2) being near someone AEH drank alcohol with before differs when AEH are at a shelter versus not. AEH reporting alcohol misuse (n = 72, Mage = 47, 85% male, 68% non‐White) completed five daily smartphone‐based ecological momentary assessments over 28 days. Generalized multilevel modeling revealed that when AEH were interacting with someone they drank with before, they had significantly lower positive affect when at a shelter (b = −0.17, p = 0.05) versus when not (b = 0.00, p = 0.99). AEH are likely to interact with previous drinking partners while at shelters. It may be important to deliver real‐time treatment messages targeting affect in these moments, as well as deliver alcohol reduction/abstinence messages.
