Urban Affairs ReviewSummary: This article explores innovative methodologies for examining the social and cultural displacement caused by gentrification, focusing on the integration of photovoice into story map frameworks. Gentrification often disrupts community cohesion, displaces marginalized groups, and erodes cultural identities, yet traditional research methods struggle to capture these lived experiences. Photovoice, a participatory visual method, empowers community members to document displacement through photography and narrative, while story maps spatially situate these accounts within urban landscapes. The integration of these tools creates a multidimensional methodology that combines visual, narrative, and spatial data, offering richer insights into the impacts of gentrification. By situating this approach within debates on urban sociology, participatory research, and spatial justice, the paper underscores the importance of methodological innovation in capturing the complexities of displacement and amplifying community voices in urban policy discourse.
Gentrification has been identified as a phenomenon that involves impacts on space and place. Particularly, gentrification's social and cultural impacts involve disrupted meanings residents associate with spaces. Although space and place dynamics of gentrification have been well-documented, gentrification research has primarily involved traditional quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches. These traditional approaches have not fully captured the nuanced ways space and place dimensions of gentrification converge in their impacts on residents. Also, traditional approaches have limited most gentrification research to theory and descriptions, as opposed to action and practice. To this end, innovative, integrated methodologies are needed for a paradigm shift in how gentrification is examined and addressed. In this article, we illustrate the use of photovoice and Geographic Information Systems’ Story Map as an integrated methodological approach to examining and fostering action against gentrification's space-place impacts. We provide strengths and challenges of this approach and recommendations for future research.- Reproduced
