This theme aims to present new concepts and methods for spatially representing and analysing issues of social and environmental justice. The theme focuses on challenges related to procedural, recognition and distributional aspects of justice, and how they can enhance inequality among human and more-than-human stakeholders. We are particularly interested in emerging topics like how to meaningfully engage marginalised groups in urban and regional planning using participatory mapping; and how to spatially assess and integrate elements of social and environmental justice in land-use planning protocols.
