Geo-emotions: Research, Challenges, and Mapping

Resumen

One emerging trend in scholarly worlds is discussing concepts and theories that cross disciplinary lines, such as climate change, COVID-19, and human welfare. Another example is human emotions, which are increasingly drawing transdisciplinary and international interests. These worlds are explored by introducing the concept of geo-emotions that intersects research beyond behavioral psychology, with geography, sociology, anthropology, leisure studies, disaster impacts, conservation, as well as environmental scientists, cartographers, and GIS specialists. Research challenges are addressed such as the importance of mapping emotions at local, community, national, and global scales.
