Full textAbstract:
During the current period of immigration to Western Europe, national healthcare systems are confronted with high numbers of asylum seekers with largely unknown health status. To improve care taking strategies, we assessed healthcare utilization in a large, representative cohort of newly arriving migrants consisting of n = 1533 residents of a reception center in Northern Germany in 2015. Most asylum seekers were young, male adults, and the majority came from the Eastern Mediterranean region. Overall, we observed a frequency of 0.03 visits to the onsite primary healthcare ward per asylum seeker and day of camp residence (IQR 0.0–0.07, median duration of residence 38.0 days, IQR 30.0–54.25). Female asylum seekers showed higher healthcare utilization rates than their male counterparts, and healthcare utilization was particularly low in asylum seekers in their second decade of life. Furthermore, a significant correlation between time after camp entrance and healthcare utilization behavior occurred: During the first week of camp residence, 37.1 visits/100 asylum seekers were observed, opposed to only 9.5 visits/100 asylum seekers during the sixth week of camp residence. This first data on healthcare utilization in a large, representative asylum seeker cohort entering Western Europe during the current crisis shows that primary care is most needed in the first period directly after arrival. Our dataset may help to raise awareness for refugee and migrant healthcare needs and to adapt care taking strategies accordingly.

Full textAbstract:
Mohajer (camp-e-forsat) was filmed in Forssa asylum seeker reception center in Finland, together with a recently arrived group of Hazara asylum seekers from Afghanistan. In Mohajer (camp-e-forsat) the people who are labeled as asylum seekers and refugees, redefine themselves with the word mohajer. Mohajer is a loan word from Arabic, and in Persian it means anyone or anything migrating from one place to another.
A camp is a place where mohajers live in a state of waiting. Mohajers are asylum seekers, refugees, and other migrants in precarious situations and their camps are reception centers, detention centers, and temporary shelters. Camps are often located in remote areas, effectively isolating the individuals living in them. They are facilities for storing humans, full of invisible walls, and windows to remind people that the world they can see through them is out of their reach.
Cobra: “When someone asks me where I’m from, I say I’m from Afghanistan, but I’ve never been there. Mohajer means not belonging anywhere, not where you are and not where you’re from or your parents are from. My husband says that we’re born mohajers. There is no other name for us. When they ask your name, you should say your name is mohajer. Our umbilical cords are cut with the word mohajer. Even in hospitals, when a new Afghan child is born, they say a new mohajer was born. They don’t say this woman’s child was born, they say one Afghan mohajer was born. Those two words, Afghan and mohajer, are attached together, it’s always Afghan mohajer. Then many who have migrated, try to detach themselves from the word mohajer. But in a new country, you’re still a mohajer.”

Full textAbstract:
Christmas Island is a tiny island in the Indian Ocean, a few hundred miles off the coast of Java. The island is small, with a population of less than 2000. Yet in spite of, or maybe because of, its isolation, the island is a site of incredible movement. Every wet season, millions of endemic red crabs descend from the jungles in what is one of the most spectacular animal migrations in the world. In October or November, the crabs begin a long journey from the jungles down to the coast to breed, continuing an annual life cycle. The crab migration intersects the island’s main roads and has resulted in a series of inventive tunnels, bridges, and fences which both protect the crabs from traffic and draw tourists from around the world.[1]
Another important population crosses Christmas Island on its migration journey, with considerably less luck. In 2007, construction was completed on an Immigration Reception and Processing Centre to temporarily detain asylum seekers from neighboring islands. In response to the 2001 Pacific Solution in which “4000 islands were excised from Australia’s migration zone,” Christmas Island became a temporary holding center for boat-bound asylum seekers from Indonesia, eventually transitioning to becoming an isolated site for long-term detention.[2] The center on Christmas Island is one of the largest in Australia’s onshore detention center network, which continues to operate today.
For both animal and human populations, Christmas Island is the site of incredible movement. However, these two migrating populations are governed in very different ways. “Island of Migrants”[3] is a 19-minute podcast episode that examines the ways in which red crab migration and asylum seeker migration are treated differently despite their close physical proximity on the island, and what this difference in their treatment reflects about who is considered worthy of protection. The podcast is a result of both anthropological and journalistic methods as well as a 2-month period of living on Christmas Island. Through firsthand accounts from islander residents, asylum seekers, and activists, “Island of Migrants” seeks to demonstrate the stakes of valuing one migration over another.

Full textAbstract:
This article investigates a mood change in local communities where new asylum seeker facilities were established in the wake of the “refugee crisis” in 2015. Whereas opinions in flux are often studied using quantitative data, this analysis takes advantage of in-depth qualitative interviews with inhabitants in selected Norwegian local communities after new temporary asylum reception centers were established. Qualitative data collected at this particular time provide the opportunity to gain insight into social processes occurring in the wake of a sudden influx of immigrants. A key feature of the material is statements reflecting fear or nervous anticipation in relation to the period before the newcomers arrived, followed by descriptions of diminishing concern afterwards. Several studies have engaged with the issue of changes in public mood during this particular period, but few have analyzed changes at the local level. The study concludes that while the backdrop of impactful events that led to shifts in public mood at the national and regional levels played a role in informants’ imagined encounters with the newcomers, experiencing the presence of the newcomers resulted in a subtle mood change of increased acceptance.

Abstract. The article examines the strategic role of detention in the Reception and Identification Center on Lesvos, Greece. Basing on works on detention in carceral geography, I will additionally use the theoretical framework of governmentality. It becomes clear that the detention center on Lesvos serves as a spatial configuration of localization and circulation of asylum seekers framed as belonging to countries with low recognition rate. This is mainly enhanced through confinement, forced or controlled mobilisation as well as the control of flows of assistance and information through containment. In conclusion, certain modes of circulation and mobilization through enclosure can be identified through combination and mutual fertilisation of carceral geography and governmentality.

Background: Migrants, and particularly asylum seekers, are at increased risk of psychiatric disorders in comparison with natives. At the same time, inequalities in access to mental health care are observed. Methods: In order to evaluate whether the Parisian public psychiatric system is optimally structured to meet the needs of this population, we examined data on mental health and service use considering three different levels: the global system treatment level, a psychiatric reception center, and mobile teams specializing in access to psychiatric care for asylum seekers. Results: We found higher treatment rates among migrants than among natives (p < 0.001) but inequalities in pathways to care: more mandatory admissions (OR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.02–1.80) and fewer specialized consultations (OR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.38–0.81). We observed a mismatch between increased need and provision of care among migrants without stable housing or seeking asylum. Conclusions: Inequalities in the provision of care for migrants are observed in the Parisian public psychiatric system, particularly for those experiencing poor social and economic conditions. There is a need to facilitate access to mental health care and develop more tailored interventions to reduce discontinuity of care.

Full textAbstract:
Aspects of global health are becoming increasingly relevant for doctors of future generations. However, medical curricula rarely include courses which focus on global health or forced migration. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether students are at risk to develop psychological strain, after being confronted with highly burdened or even traumatized asylum seekers. This is a prospective study using a mixed-methods approach. We included n = 22 medical students performing a medical clerkship in a state registration and reception center for refugees. By applying (1) qualitative interviews, (2) reflective diaries, and (3) psychometric questionnaires, we examined the students’ experiences, teachable moments, and potential psychological burdens. In the interviews, the students emphasized the importance of cultural sensitivity during their clerkship. However, they also reported cognitive changes concerning their views of themselves and the world in general; this could indicate vicarious traumatization. The reflective diaries displayed high learning achievements. According to the psychometric questionnaires, the assignment in the reception center had not caused any significant psychological strain for the students. By completing their medical clerkship in a reception center, students were able to improve their medical, organizational, and interactional knowledge and skills. Furthermore, they reported that they had broadened their personal and cultural horizons.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the political discourse on foreign-culture immigrants, that forms the agenda of the Danish government. The difficulties of integrating migrants increase with the influx of asylum seekers and family reunification, when the rate of their admission exceeds the rate of naturalisation (absorption) of diasporas, that Danes see as a threat to social cohesion. A “preventive” immigration policy has emerged, demonstrating significant restrictions that reduce the influx of refugees. The discourse of restrictive policy supported by the electorate determined the government's agenda based on agreements between the center-left Social Democratic Party, the center-right Liberal Party of Wenströ, and the far-right Danish National Party (DNP) with its anti-immigrant agenda. At the same time, the ruling parties, weakening the support of the extreme right-wing parties, "intercept" the provisions of the DNP programme. Restrictions on the political agenda concern mainly foreign-culture immigrants: strict regulation of the admission of asylum seekers, granting a residence permit, family reunification, initial distribution to municipalities and resettlement of immigrant "ghettos". This is combined with the education of immigrants based on the values of social cohesion, work for the welfare state, and the inclusion of immigrant children in educational institutions. The discourse also includes the issues of deportation of immigrants, including asylum seekers, who commit crimes, the detention of asylum seekers not in Denmark and the EU countries, but in third countries that the government intends to make special agreements with. Taking into account the difficulties of returning refugees to the countries of origin, even if life there has become safer, this option is considered the most optimum, and appropriate work is being carried out in this direction. The EU leadership condemns such a policy, but in the conditions of the weakness of its immigration policy, legal collisions, as well as the weakening of the solidarity of the Union members, there is no political opportunity from the outside to forcibly adjust the Danish state policy. In other EU countries, Denmark's preventive restrictive policy can be perceived as a positive model for the reception and integration of refugees of other cultures. The Danish experience is also useful for Russia, where problems arise in working with foreign-culture diasporas. In addition, such restrictive policies are helping to strengthen mobilisation mechanisms to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
Notre recherche propose d’étudier en quoi les pratiques transgressives permettent aux professionnels en Centre d’accueil de demandeurs d’asile (CADA) de créer et maintenir du sens dans leur travail. En effet, ces acteurs sont de plus en plus considérés comme des agents des politiques migratoires (Daadouch, 2017), ce qui remet en cause le sens qu’ils accordent à leur travail et qui ne semble pouvoir être retrouvé qu'au prix d'une certaine désobéissance. C'est précisément cette relation que nous étudions dans cette thèse. Le sens dans le travail est une construction sociale qui s’élabore dans l’interaction entre l’individu avec son environnement de travail (Isaksen, 2000). Cependant, il est possible pour les managers de créer des conditions favorables à l’expérience d’un travail significatif (Frémeaux et Michelson, 2017). Nous pensons que la transgression (Pesqueux, 2010) peut être une nouvelle source de création de sens (Weick, 1995). Pour mener à bien ce travail doctoral, nous avons décidé de réaliser une recherche-action (Pasmore et al., 2008). Ce travail nous permet d’observer que les professionnels de l’asile en proie à la perte de sens usent de pratiques transgressives, majoritairement collectives, pour y remédier. La transgression est ainsi appréhendée comme un moyen d’aménager la règle afin de faire correspondre davantage le travail réel aux valeurs des individus et du collectif. Au-delà, notre travail doctoral contribue à mettre en lumière un nouveau terrain d’étude pour les sciences de gestion et propose une nouvelle catégorie d’observation directe participanteOur research proposes to study how transgressive practices allow professionals in a Reception Center for Asylum Seekers to create and maintain meaning in their work. These actors are increasingly considered as agents of migration policies (Daadouch, 2017), which calls into question the meaning they give to their work and which seems to be found only at the cost of a certain disobedience. It is precisely this relationship that we are studying in this thesis. Meaning at work is a social construct that develops in the interaction between the individual and his work environment (Isaksen, 2000). However, it is possible for managers to create favorable conditions to the experience of meaningful work (Frémeaux and Michelson, 2017). We believe that transgression (Pesqueux, 2010) can be a new source of sensemaking (Weick, 1995). To carry out this doctoral work, we decided to realize an action research (Pasmore et al., 2008). This work allows us to observe that asylum professionals experiencing loss of meaning are using transgressive practices, mostly collective, to remedy this. The transgression is thus understood as a means of adapting the rule in order to make real work more in line with the values of individuals and the collective. Beyond that, our doctoral work helps to shed light on a new field of study for management sciences and proposes a new category of direct participant observation

During 2015 South Africa, a single country with far fewer resources than
the EU, had to provide refuge for approximately 72,000 asylum seekers.
This global infl ux of people has been classifi ed as a crisis, placing extreme
pressure on the economical, social and urban systems of many cities.
Threatened by xenophobia and a bureaucratic legal process, many of these
international visitors are treated to a reluctant welcome upon entering
South Africa.
In a context such as Marabastad, characterised by urban sprawl, singleuse
territories and reduced density, exceedingly migratory populations
are forced to contend for informal opportunities and sources of survival,
often to the detriment of the existing urban fabric. In spite of this, mobile
individuals have found a way to situate themselves and organise their
surroundings without fi gurative representation within an urban context
scattered with 'ruins' of past utopian ideologies.
Through a recombination of the contradictory facets of architecture, namely
fetish and fossil, utopia and ruin, the Vulnerable Asylum investigates the
ability of heritage architecture to accommodate new migrant citizens.

Magistro baigiamajame darbe yra tiriama, ar Lietuva į savo nacionalinius teisės aktus yra pilnai perkėlusi Priėmimo sąlygų direktyvos nuostatas, ir vertinama, ar yra daromi Priėmimo sąlygų direktyvos pažeidimai praktikoje. Dėl savo ypatingos svarbos detaliai analizuojamos prieglobsčio prašytojų teisė į materialines priėmimo sąlygas ir teisė į darbą.
Prieglobsčio prašytojų materialinės priėmimo sąlygos ir užimtumas tiriami tarptautiniu, Europos regiono ir Lietuvos lygmenimis. Nustatyta, kad neatitinkančios Priėmimo sąlygų direktyvos standartų materialinės priėmimo sąlygos gali lemti EŽTK pažeidimus, pavyzdžiui, po EŽTT priimto pilotinio sprendimo M.S.S. prieš Belgiją ir Graikiją byloje valstybės, taikydamos Dublino II reglamentą, nesiunčia prieglobsčio prašytojų į tas šalis, kuriose jiems gresia netinkamas elgesys, prilyginamas kankinimui, nežmoniškam ar žeminančiam jų orumą elgesiui. Europos Komisija Lietuvos materialines priėmimo sąlygas gretina su Graikija ir pasisako, kad jos yra itin žemo lygio. Iš to kylančios praktinės problemos pažeidžia Priėmimo sąlygų direktyvą.

Due to its special importance the particular attention is given to the detailed analyses of the asylum seekers‘ right to material reception conditions and the right to work. The material reception conditions and employment are being examined from the international, European and Lithuanian perspective. The analysis shows that the provision of material reception conditions contradicting to the provisions of the Reception Conditions’ Directive can lead to the violations of ECHR. This could be illustrated by the final pilot ECHR decision in M.S.S. v. Belgium and Greece case where Member States applying Dublin II Regulation do not send asylum seekers to such countries where there is a risk of them facing inappropriate behaviour comparable to torture, inhumane or degrading treatment. It is noted that with regard to the asylum seekers‘ material reception conditions the European Commission equates Lithuania to Greece and proclaims conditions as being of a very low level. The practical problems arising from this situation violate the Directive. By evaluating doctrinal works and the legislation the work reveals the problems regarding the asylum seekers’ access to the labour market.

Full textAbstract:
Due to on going wars and conflicts in the world, the number of people seeking asylum in other countries has increased. Including a large group of unaccompanied minors which is described as ”children who left their country without their parents or a significant other”. In 2015, nearly 35,000 unaccompanied children arrived in Sweden seeking asylum, whereupon the majority arrived in the last months of the year. The large number resulted in an extreme pressure upon the Swedish municipalities, to successfully receive all unaccompanied children. And fulfill their organizational mission according to the Swedish legislation. Therefore the purpose of the study is to establish a deeper understanding of how a social service, organizationally handled an increase in the number of unaccompanied children. A qualitative method was used, consisting semi-structured interviews with nine respondents from or related to the social services. The data of the study were analyzed using a thematic analysis, meaning a search for patterns to create themes and subthemes. The results of the study show that the increase number of unaccompanied minors were experienced and had to be handled as a crisis. The bureaucratic structure of the social service became problematic and constituted an obstacle in the efforts to receive the unaccompanied children. Including a difficulty to follow existing laws and regulations. To resolve the situation the social service had to be flexible and creative in their approach to receive the children. One conclusion is that a bureaucratic structure is not suitable in a dynamic environment that demands quick decisions and flexibility. Another conclusion is that the effort of the staff has been crucial, resolving the crisis.Antalet människor som flyr undan krig och konflikter i världen har under den senaste tiden ökat. Av dessa människor är en stor grupp ensamkommande barn, det vill säga barn som lämnat sitt hemland utan sina föräldrar eller signifikant annan. Under 2015 anlände ca 35 000 ensamkommande barn till Sverige för att söka asyl. Majoriteten av dessa anlände under de sista månaderna på året. Det medförde ett extremt högt tryck på landets kommuner för att lyckas motta samtliga ensamkommande barn och fullfölja sitt organisatoriska uppdrag enligt den svenska lagstiftningen. Förevarande studies syfte är därmed att få en fördjupad kunskap kring hur en socialförvaltning organisatoriskt har hanterat en ökning av antalet ensamkommande barn. En kvalitativ metod har använts, bestående av semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio respondenter från eller med anknytning till socialförvaltningen. Studiens data analyserades med hjälp av en tematisk analys, där mönster eftersöktes och teman och subteman skapades. Resultatet av studien visar att den stora ökningen av ensamkommande barn upplevdes och fick hanteras som en krissituation. Förvaltningens byråkratiska struktur blev problematisk och utgjorde ett hinder i arbetet med att motta de ensamkommande barnen. Bland annat kunde inte befintliga lagar och regler följas. För att lösa situationen fick förvaltningen vara flexibel och kreativ i sitt arbetssätt. En slutsats är att en byråkratisk organisation inte lämpar sig för en dynamisk omvärld, som ställer krav på snabba beslut och flexibilitet. Därtill framgår att personalens insats inom socialförvaltningen var avgörande för att lösa krissituationen.

Full textAbstract:
This study, drawing on ethnographic observations of the regularization processes of two migrant women victim of human trafficking and who claimed for international protection in Italy, aims at contributing on the debate on the intersection between the asylum system and the anti-trafficking projects, focusing on how it concretely works in a specific local context and highlighting open challenges and critical issues. The first woman is hosted in a reception centre for asylum seekers, the second one in a shelter of the anti-trafficking project in North-East Italy. During their migratory trajectories, both women were recruited and transported in order to be sexually exploited and both (self-)identified, at different stages of their regularization process, as victims of trafficking. In our analysis, we will focus both on the positioning of the asylum seeker women and on the perspective of the operators, trying to understand in which situations these perspectives converged or diverged, in term of choices, power hierarchies and strategies of resistances.

Full textAbstract:
By examining the case of Milan, the paper studies the way the Italian state, in the last four years, has been managing homeless asylum seekers and refugees. It focuses on the frictions among different state institutions and the managerial ‘cultures’ they rely on. As expulsions from the so-called reception system have been raising, the Milanese municipality-run reception centres closed, and a reorganisation of the Immigration Office brought to the shutdown of a department explicitly oriented to asylum and reception. The analysis makes some dilemmas arise. The first one is related to the way policies interact and collide at different levels. As centralisation and decentralisation are constitutive of every process of state formation, in the case presented here it paradoxically brings asylum seekers outside the reception system to disappear as such. The second dilemma lies at the moral core of the state and raises issues of entitlement to receive aid from public and private institutions. As asylum seekers and refugees are perceived as unwelcomed guests by both the central state and the local authorities, institutions consider themselves not responsible for their care.

Full textAbstract:
Since 2011 the increasing arrivals of asylum seekers forced the Italian State to organise a wider and more widespread reception system for refugees and asylum seekers. This paper aims to highlight some of the shadows and few lights that characterize this system, showing its social effects on the population hosted. The analysis proposed is based on the study of official documents, laws and statistics produced by Italian state, interviews with some migrants that lived in reception centres and the participation of the author in the campaign ‘LasciateCIEntrare (Let us in)’ as an activist. After the analysis, some suggestions are proposed about possible policies able to overcome this reception system, also through a radical change in the Italian housing policy oriented to guarantee housing access as a universal social right.

Abstract This chapter assesses the Asylum Seekers (Reception Conditions) Regulations 2005, which came into force on 5 February 2005. These Regulations shall only apply to a person whose claim for asylum is recorded on or after 5 February 2005. When the Secretary of State is providing or arranging for the provision of accommodation for an asylum seeker and their family members under section 95 or 98 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, he shall have regard to family unity and ensure, in so far as it is reasonably practicable to do so, that family members are accommodated together. The chapter then looks at the provisions for persons with special needs. A vulnerable person is a minor, a disabled person, an elderly person, a pregnant woman; a lone parent with a minor child; or a person who has been subjected to torture, rape, or other serious forms of psychological, physical, or sexual violence.

Full textAbstract:
Lack of safety poses a major threat to children who are asylum seekers in the post-migration period. Such lack of safety can concern physical safety, including domestic violence, and psychosocial safety, including feeling afraid and isolated. The context of families in reception centres and the resettlement period varies considerably, but relative poverty, perceived unpredictability, and isolation are common. In addition, language and cultural differences and lack of work and meaningful everyday life often pose a challenge, as does previous trauma exposure. One important issue concerns stressors parents face, and their ability to provide safety for their children in times of uncertainty and great adjustment. Addressing the need for safety, this chapter describes a Norwegian pilot project conducted by the Norwegian Directorate for Child, Youth and Family Affairs in 2015–16, which sought to address safety through supporting parents using the International Child Development Programme in asylum centres. This chapter describes the programme and experiences from this pilot project. We discuss safety for children in receptions centres and the resettlement phase, drawing on the pilot project and previous research in high-income countries. In addition, we present a case for the usefulness of knowledge from humanitarian and developmental contexts.

Asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants, who are living in RICs, are faced with multiple challenges and vulnerabilities that must be taken into consideration when responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The chapter focuses on the COVID-19 pandemic concerns over increasing cases recorded in the RICs in Greece. The impact of migration on public health is of particular concern to Greek migration policy, as migrants in the country have a completely different epidemiological profile and higher risks to public health due to the poor living conditions in their countries of origin and during their stay. They live mostly in overcrowded reception and identification centers and accommodation centers under deplorable conditions, lack of proper shelter, extremely unhygienic living conditions. The urgent decongestion of the overcrowded RICs and accommodation centers is required to avoid the risk of rapid spread of the infection.

Full textAbstract:
An attempt to objectively and comprehensively record the modern living reality of asylum seekers based on their own perspective and the views expressed by the academic and administrative staff employed at accommodation structures has been made. Emphasis is placed on women, and the common problems they encounter regardless of gender, but also on individual differences identified between female and male asylum seekers. Therefore, the present paper focuses on the living conditions in temporary accommodation centres and on the existing social relationship structures being shaped at such centres, with special emphasis on the dimension of gender (single women, single mothers). The aim of this paper was, then, to collect documented material and evidence on current practices concerning specific vulnerable groups, on the grounds that such groups still remain in obscurity to some extent and their survival is hugely dependent on individual initiatives and occasional assistance received. Our motive was the lack of comparative data, drawing attention to specific vulnerable groups in temporary accommodation centres and hostels in Athens and Lavrion and to their living conditions. Consequently, the realization of this research, for the implementation of which a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods has been employed, is considered to be a minimum prerequisite for the creation of a humanitarian policy addressing refugees in Greece, as a Member State of the EU. The findings highlight the concerns about the service quality including: (1) the lack or variations in the frequency of funding, (2) the absence of women’s participation in decision-making as their responsibilities residing in these centres usually fulfill their “stereotypical” roles: child care, cooking and cleaning, (3) the difficulties in recording/identifying specific incidents are mainly due to a lack of knowledge and a lack of staff, which is typical of the centres surveyed by Doctors Without Borders in Europe, but also due to the fear overwhelming violent victims, preventing the disclosure of facts and contributing to the maintenance of this bleak picture of the victims. (4) the need for psychological support due to problems that can become more severe after long periods of waiting at centres due to the uncertain outcome of asylum procedures hindering their adjustment. (5) the lack of childcare provisions inhibits employment for women. In addition as the vast majority of female refugees are poorly educated and cannot easily find a (legitimate) job—until after a long stay—they basically get employed at the informal home-based work sector and/or at other marginalized sectors of the labour market. The present research may contribute to the: (a) provision of a clear-cut picture of the gender dimension within the refugee context, (b) identification of the female refugee population’s needs and the detection of the problems they encounter, (c) the evaluation of the effectiveness of services and structures supporting refugees and (d) exploitation of results and findings for policy design.

Full textAbstract:
During the European asylum seeker crisis, circa 2015, asylum seekers used social media and smartphones for communication alongside journalists using disposable and short-form media, streaming media, and civilian drones for real-time stories that changed practices in journalism. Some journalists uploaded live video whilst others stitched together documentaries with short video clips. Google collaborated with the International Rescue Committee to develop an information site for essential services. A data visualisation developed by independent producers also showed the extent of the crisis. A former refugee, as well as media producers, used drones for aerial filming to help rescue people at sea, but as the crisis worsened, drones were used by authorities to stop people from crossing borders. The crisis also exposed journalists to trauma, even without working directly in conflict zones, revealed by the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma, which plays an important role for the safety and protection of journalists.

Full textAbstract:
More than a million migrants and refugees crossed into Europe in 2015. The number of asylum applications received in 2014 in EU Member States has risen by 25 per cent compared to the same period in 2013 and it is still increasing (The UN Refugee Agency). The current migrant crisis in Europe is described as the most serious since the Second World War. Reception Centers that provide homes for asylum-seekers and refugees, both as individuals and families, in most EU countries are overcrowded. Due to a growing problem of the luck of infrastructural facilities, the topic of modular construction is more and more relevant in european context.
The article deals with the problematic of increasing demand for modular buildings as an answer (time, and cost effective) for European migrant crisis that requires delivery of the housing infrustructes in a very short time frame. The author asking the question about the near future of the modular social housing. How would it reflect on urban-space, living-space and whole attitude to modular construction issues? What is the role of the architect during the process of design-build? Is it possible to make references to “beauty” in the context of modular construction? The focus will be placed on the project based on permanent modular construction (PMC) - the modular social housing complex, implemented in July 2015 in Munich (scientific partner of the project is the Faculty of Architecture, Cracow University of Technology).
