Abstract Details

2019, MA, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of Geography.
The continuing rise of homelessness in the United States has sparked the attention of media, society, and academics, including geographers. There are many perspectives on homelessness, but this thesis will focus on the complexity involved in living in a mostly rural county, including topics such as sense of place and daily activity, all considered through a socio-spatial lens. The addition of fine-scale geographical data collection in the form of spatial video and spatial video geonarratives will contribute a greater understanding of the challenges faced by the homeless community. This research project will pose two overarching questions, can geographies of homelessness be identified through spatial video and spatial video geonarratives (SVG) data collection and how do these explain/contradict existing theories regarding the homeless? Secondly, can these spaces and places be contextualized using the SVG method so that we gain a better understanding of the challenges the community faces, leading to more cohort sensitive intervention strategies? This thesis is part of an ongoing collaboration with Tulare County Health and Human Services Agency (TCHHSA).
