GeoHumanities, GIScience and Smart City Lifeworld approaches to geography and the new human condition

摘要: Abstract The New Human Condition (NHC) is perhaps the largest cognitive challenge in history to human intelligence and agency concerns our species' ability cope with consequences responsibilities of being major driver planetary change twenty-first century ( Palsson et al., 2013 , Holm 2015 ). But despite long held assumptions about intra-disciplinary engagements between its “human” “physical” branches, geography's weakness as a discipline that it has yet gather sufficient momentum collectively shape implement practical sustainable climate policies actions (Castree, 2014a). However, by considering together heuristic values concepts Anthropocene Planetary Boundaries, Anglo-American sphere geography recognizes either ironic, or unconscious manners new strand environmental determinism (discredited geographical thought practice early twentieth century) re-emerged elide role broadly dominate discussion change. Mike Hulme (2011, 247) states “climate determinism” “a form analysis prediction which first extracted from matrix interdependencies life within physical world”. Within this discourse often biophysical employed explain course behavior; consequently, dominating perspective threatens skew predictions understandings future societies, cultures, climates destinies. Climate will certainly constrain agency, but also creates potential for play intra inter disciplinary strengths begin discussing addressing human-environmental dilemmas realistic ways; secondly, seize crisis an opportunity study where, why whom global matters.
