With an integrated space-time system, time geography provides an elegant framework to study human activities and their spatiotemporal characteristics. However, due to the limited computational power and the availability of appropriate datasets in the past, time geography has been mainly used as a conceptual framework. Recent developments in communications, information, and location-aware technologies have renewed research interests in time geography and raised new research challenges. This paper session intends to provide a forum for researchers to share experiences and exchange ideas on new possibilities of time geography in the 21st century, Including (but not limited to) extending and enhancing the theoretical framework, operationalizing the framework in a computational environment, and applying the framework to support various applications and empirical studies.
