geospatial justice

Geospatial justice refers to the fair distribution of resources, services, and opportunities in relation to geographic locations. It emphasizes how spatial factors, like where people live, can affect access to essential services like healthcare, education, and transportation. This concept highlights inequalities that arise when marginalized communities are located in areas with fewer resources or environmental hazards. Achieving geospatial justice involves addressing these disparities to ensure that all communities have equitable access to opportunities and a healthy environment, regardless of their geographical location.
