About Roy
Emeritus Professor Roy Jones holds the position of Emeritus Professor in the Department of Planning and Geography within the Faculty of Humanities at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia. He earned his BA (Econ) with Honours from the University of Sheffield, MA from Newcastle upon Tyne, and PhD from the University of Manchester. Jones joined the institution in 1970 at its predecessor, the Western Australian Institute of Technology, and progressed to full Professor of Geography. During his tenure, he served as Dean of the Centre for Research and Graduate Studies in the Faculty of Humanities and Co-Director of research initiatives focused on sustainability. He was also seconded to the Australian federal government in Canberra to address aspects of regional disadvantage. He retired around 2016, assuming emeritus status.
Jones' research specializations include human geography, historical geography, rural change and development, heritage management, sustainable development, urbanism, regional planning, governance, and tourism and leisure with a focus on cultural issues. He has produced extensive scholarship on how and why places change and the impacts on populations and environments, particularly in Western Australia. Key publications encompass books such as "Heritage is Movement: Heritage Management and Research in a Diverse and Plural World" (2023) and "Rural Transformations: Globalization and Its Implications for Rural People, Land, and Economies" (2022), alongside articles including "Changing Ideals and Realities: A Longitudinal View of Rural Western Australia" (2023), "The pressures within a changing landscape: How indigenous joint management is changing conservation management practices in Western Australia" (2024), "RE-TURNING INWARDS OR OPENING TO THE WORLD? LAND USE TRANSITIONS ON AUSTRALIA’S WESTERN COAST" (2020), and studies on the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage area. His work, with over 1,351 citations on ResearchGate, has influenced academic discourse on rural transformations, cultural heritage, and planning in Australia. Jones contributed to the Rural, Society, Space and International Connections research group and the Tourism Research Cluster.
