Abstract

Employing a deep mapping approach we aim to increase our understanding of the social, spatial, and temporal relationships children shared with the industrial city as it grew and evolved. In this paper, we spatialize and record-link numerous local and national datasets on environments and children including the complete count IPUMS historical census data to study the lives of schoolchildren in a twentieth century copper mining town in northern Michigan. Leaning on Hägerstrand’s time geography theory we place 2025 children within their built and social environments tracing their commutes to school, the school day, and their time at home. We demonstrate the utility of this approach through an analysis of students’ proximity to hazardous environments throughout the day.

摘要

我们采用深度映射方法，旨在加深我们对儿童在工业城市的成长和演变过程中所共享的社会、空间和时间关系的理解。在本文中，我们空间化并记录链接了大量地方和国家环境和儿童数据集，包括完整的 IPUMS 历史人口普查数据，以研究密歇根州北部 20 世纪铜矿开采小镇学童的生活。依靠 Hägerstrand 的时间地理理论，我们将 2025 名儿童置于他们的建筑和社会环境中，追踪他们上学的通勤、上学日和在家的时间。我们通过分析学生全天接近危险环境的情况来证明这种方法的实用性。
