**Abstract:** Assistant Professor Jing Meng from the Peking University HSBC Business School, in collaboration with Assistant Professor Huiru Cai from National Taiwan University and Assistant Professor Yipeng Lin from National Taiwan Normal University, has published a research paper titled “Environmental activism in the platform society: Spatial agency in digital maps” in the journal *New Media & Society*. The paper appears in Volume 26, Issue 12, on pages 7058-7080. *New Media & Society* is a prominent international journal published by SAGE, focusing on the latest theoretical and practical research in the fields of communication and journalism, with a particular emphasis on the interdisciplinary exploration of the intersection between new media, information technology, and social change. The journal has maintained an impact factor of 6.9 over the past five years, making it a significant publication in the field of communication studies. The research paper delves into the transformative role of digital maps in environmental activism, specifically through the lens of the mobile application “Fengcha Action” (奉茶行动) in Taiwan. This app, which translates to “Offering Tea,” is a digital mapping tool designed to promote environmental awareness and encourage community participation in environmental conservation efforts. The authors investigate how digital maps facilitate the construction of space and enable spatial agency, allowing individuals to interact with and shape their urban environments in meaningful ways. The key findings of the study highlight that digital maps, through the integration of digital and spatial technologies, enable users to create and share their own narratives and interpretations of space. This process transforms urban areas from mere physical environments into lived and experienced spaces, thereby enhancing the sense of place and community. The researchers argue that the app’s use of data and game-like scenarios not only constructs cognitive and symbolic understandings of localities but also converts traditionally closed or private spaces into public domains, fostering a reimagining and reconfiguration of place. Moreover, the paper discusses the broader implications of digital environmental activism, noting that such movements must navigate and negotiate various structural forces, including app and infrastructure platforms, collective actions, individual powers, and the tension between environmentalism and commercialism. These dynamics are crucial for understanding how digital tools can be effectively harnessed to drive social and environmental change while also addressing the challenges that arise from the complex interplay of these forces. Jing Meng, a faculty member at the Peking University HSBC Business School, holds a Ph.D. in Film and Television Studies from the University of Nottingham, UK. Her research interests primarily revolve around digital journalism, digital technology, and their societal impacts. Meng has an extensive publication record, with contributions to several high-impact international journals, including *New Media & Society*, *Journalism Studies*, and *Media, Culture & Society*. The publication of this paper underscores the growing importance of digital tools and platforms in environmental activism and highlights the potential for digital maps to serve as powerful instruments for community engagement and social transformation. It also emphasizes the need for a nuanced understanding of the structural and technological contexts that shape these digital practices, providing valuable insights for scholars, activists, and policymakers alike.
