Jason Byrne is a Professor of Human Geography and Planning. He researches urban political ecologies of green-space, climate change adaptation, and environmental justice. He has over 100 scholarly publications, including a multi-award-winning co-edited book - Australian Environmental Planning: Challenges and Future Prospects (Routledge). Professor Byrne has previously been awarded the Planning Institute Australia’s national award for cutting edge research and teaching, and has twice been awarded the PIA Queensland award in that category – as well as their overall award for planning excellence.

Biography

Before joining the University of Tasmania, Jason was an Associate Professor of Urban and Environmental Planning at Griffith University, Gold Coast, Queensland. Jason completed his PhD at the University of Southern California (2007) and was awarded a commendation for his doctoral research on urban and national parks and social disadvantage. Jason was a Senior Fellow at Johns Hopkins University Institute for Policy Studies (1999), where he researched environmental inequality. Prior to becoming an academic, Jason worked as a planning officer, environmental officer and policy writer with the Western Australian government. He now provides research consultancy services to the Queensland Government and City of Gold Coast Council. Jason is on the editorial board for Local Environment and Journal of Political Ecology, and has made regular radio appearances on ABC radio, as well as television interviews.

Research Themes

Jason’s research aligns to the University’s research theme of Environment, Resources and Sustainability. Specifically, Jason’s research addresses the spatial and social distribution of urban greenspace and green infrastructure. He examines how marginalised and disadvantaged communities are affected by greenspace access and service provision (environmental justice) and how the deployment of green infrastructure as a climate change adaptation strategy may affect urban residents – both human and non-human (thermal equity). Jason has studied the socio-spatial dimensions of urban parks and protected areas, community gardens and urban trees. More recently, Jason has been working on Australian Research Council funded projects investigating social innovation for climate change adaptation and the use of greenspace as a health intervention for children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Exploring leadership for municipal climate change adaptation planning and implementation (2023 - 2024)$28,750

Description: This PhD will examine the role and influence of municipal elected and executive leaders on the mainstreaming of climate-related risk mitigation and adaptation responses within four councils in Tasmania, using a case study approach. This PhD research examines three questions:What factors are conceptualised as shaping climate-related risk mitigation and adaptation mainstreaming in local government?How do these factors interact and influence each other as determinants of municipal climate change adaptation outcomes?Which elements can be considered key to advancing the mainstreaming of climate-related risk mitigation and adaptation responses in municipal policy and practice?It is intended that this research will have world-class scholarly impact and direct, practical relevance to inform future municipal climate adaptation planning and implementation. Findings will be applicable to local government nationally and internationally, and those that support councils manage climate-related risk.

Urban greening to protect vulnerable people and promote thermal equity (2023 - 2026)$1,059,390

Description: This project aims to create, test and apply new knowledge to promote thermal equity in Australian cities. Climatechange is increasing heatwave frequency and intensity as our cities are becoming denser and their populationsgrowing older. Many older people have heightened vulnerability to extreme heat due to income constraints,medical conditions, physical frailty, and reduced mobility. Outputs will include a heat vulnerability assessmentindex for identifying at-risk places and vulnerable people, urban tree canopy maps, urban planning policyguidelines for creating cooler cities, and a toolkit for identifying appropriate green infrastructure treatments.Benefits include avoidance of heat-related deaths and improved liveability in cities.

A rapid assessment tool and policy framework for improving heatwave resilience in Tasmania (2022 - 2023)$62,013

Description: Heatwaves are the leading killer of Australians, above all other natural hazards - combined. Older people are especially vulnerable to heatwave impacts, as are young children. Tasmania already has a comparatively higher proportion of its population in vulnerable age groups, and the state's population is rapidly ageing. The project will improve the understanding of how Tasmanian people and places are at risk from extreme heat events. Using a combination of GIS/spatial analysis and remote sensing analysis, the project will improve the quality, scope, usefulness and accessibility of heatwave hazard and risk information, providing state agencies and local governments with a detailed understanding of which built environments are more at risk from extreme heat events and where vulnerable populations are located within those environments. Results will inform the development of a land use planning and emergency response policy framework. The research will enable local governments and communities to strategically prioritise emergency responses to heatwaves and to reduce future heatwave risk by targeting vulnerable areas for longer term interventions such as urban greening and improved tree canopy cover.

Combatting loneliness and suicide risk by activating third places: developing evidence-based interventions to build community resilience and wellbeing (2018)$19,814

Description: Grant-CCS Research ThemeAlarmed by burgeoning national rates of suicide, Lifeline Tasmania has approached UTAS to identify Tasmania -specific interventions as preventative measures against suicide. Tasmania has known suicide hotspots. Research suggests social isolation and loneliness are risk factors for mortality (Holt-Lunstad et al., 2015). Lifeline data indicates that a significant proportion of its crisis line calls are related to loneliness and isolation. Loneliness stems from population mobility, declining community participation, and demographic change (e.g. increasing single-occupant households) (Masi et al., 2011). A key question is: Can place-based interventions (third places) bolster social connectedness and community resilience to reduce loneliness and suicide risk in Tasmania?.Third places (e.g. community gardens & dog-parks) provide opportunities for informal social interaction and building connectedness (Matthews, 2018). Obligation-free informal interactions in third places can foster social interaction, engender sense of community and build friendships (Rosenbaum et al., 2007). Ideally third places are within walking distance of peoples homes and enable multiple activities. But what if vulnerable populations have reduced personal mobility? We presently lack research identifying efficacious ways to design mobile or pop-up third places to reach such at risk populations.Led by a multi-disciplinary team of experienced and ECR researchers, this project will employ a systematic quantitative literature review and follow up key stakeholder workshops (e.g. Lifeline, TasCOSS, Neighbourhood Houses Tasmania, Local Government Association Tasmania (LGAT) & Mental Health Council) to identify best practices and develop interventions for pilot-testing with at-risk populations. The literature review and workshop findings will be published in two Q1 journals (e.g. Health and Place). Study findings will inform a grant application to the Tasmanian Community Fund for a multi-year project to build and pilot-test an effective mobile third place and a Linkage Grant application to undertake evidence-based assessment of the efficacy of different interventions (i.e. community garden vs. dog park).

Enabling social innovation for local climate adaptability (2015 - 2017)$172,500

Description: Climate variability and change is acutely felt at the local scale in Australia. This is where inter/national and State policies are translated into practices to prepare for, and adapt to, anticipated impacts of heatwaves, bushfires and floods. This research critically investigates tensions and potentialities between risk-based assessments by local governance agencies and innovations by local groups and NGOs. The researchutilises an innovative mixed methods approach to critically investigate and analyse the strategies and experiments of adaptation practices. It develops new ways of identifying and implementing practical, local,adaptive responses that are contextually relevant, socially innovative and capacity building.
