Geographical Network Analysis

“…As Derudder ( 2021 [this issue]) argues, what the network will show is dependent on those aspects that the researcher designated as nodes or edges. Hall and Penny's ( 2020 [this issue]) article reports on extraordinary efforts to use palaeoenvironmental data to identify the constituents of a network, but finding that data, constructing the network and interpreting the network structure all require profound domain knowledge. Similarly, although Nic Lochlainn's ( 2021 [this issue]) analysis treats Facebook links as edges to build ‘an initial and publicly accessible picture of connections between and across online social movement networks’ but then goes on to use digital ethnography and additional interviews to better understand how contention is grounded in places and networked across space.…”
