With the Appalachian Trail (AT) as our research setting, grounded theory as our methodological approach, and qualitative interviews and archival analysis as our methods, we investigate the role crowdsourced data, social media, and smartphone apps could play in sustainable resource management (SRM). Centering the perspectives of AT resource managers, our analysis reveals that digital technologies can create new challenges and exacerbate existing ones. Place-centered challenges intensified by digital technologies are overcrowding and trail infrastructure degradation.

Background: Refugees' parenting behaviour is profoundly influenced by their mental health, which is, in turn, influenced by their situation of displacement. Our research presents the first systematic review on parenting and mental health in protracted refugee situations, where 78% of all refugees reside.
Methods: We pre-registered our protocol and screened documents in 22 languages from 10 electronic databases, reports by 16 international humanitarian organisations and region-specific content from the top 100 websites for each of the 72 countries that 'host' protracted refugees.

Health scholars are becoming increasingly attuned to the intimate ties between a person's housing and their access to mental and physical health. However, existing models for understanding the link between housing and health equity do not adequately theorize why inequities arise and persist, who benefits from these social arrangements, and how they operate transnationally. How do domestic and global dynamics of political economy shape housing and health equity for migrant farmworkers? How can conceptual models of housing and health equity better account for political economy? To answer these conceptual questions, our study examines the empirical case of migrant agricultural workers in Canada.

Objective: This study aims to review and synthesize what design factors are associated with the physiological and psychological health of occupants in underground spaces.
Background: The development of underground spaces offers options to global challenges, such as traffic congestion, urban overcrowding, the revitalization of dormant underground areas, disaster mitigation, and adaptation to extreme environments. Despite these advantages, concerns persist about potential adverse effects on human health in these environments.
