The term sociospatial accurately captures the importance of the topic here. For the purposes of this text, sociospatial is defined as an integrated examination of space, place, and social indicators in a holistic fashion (Steinberg and Steinberg 2009). This means that one can simultaneously examine multiple indicators that relate to a particular problem or issue under study, and in a holistic way. Why would someone want to employ a sociospatial approach? In any project, resources are tied to the success of the project. The resources may be your time as a researcher or the cost of gathering, analyzing, and interpreting the data.
