Texto completoResumen
Cities are a way of life. They are an amalgamation of cultural background and urbanism, which determine the quality of life, environmental sustainability, social behavior and economic well-being. Since the ancient times, cities have been the way to define the growth and development. The development of the cities depended upon availability of resources for a better livelihood and the way humans utilize the resources. Even today as cities develop, people hope for better living conditions.
Urbanism plays a major role in the development of cities, being a combination of cultural and urban living. Urbanism has brought various downfalls along with progress. Has urbanism made development a monotonous concept?
These days, cities are urbanizing at a fast rate not considering their future consequences. Having lived in Mumbai, I have seen it grow into a megacity. The countless problems that urbanism has brought to accommodate the massive amount of people migrating into the city has affected the quality of life of people immensely. However, is it for the better or worse? People all over the country want to have a piece of Mumbai, the city of dreams. This growth in the population has overpowered the city.
Mumbai is famous for its railway system. It is the lifeline of the city. However, due to the amount of people using this system, the travel is more of a chaos. Every railway station has a main access road filled with hawkers and commercial storefronts. People in Mumbai are always in a rush, so these hawkers and commercial stores are a necessity to their daily life. People shop for their daily necessities while returning home to save time. However, these streets are extremely chaotic and crowded. My thesis focuses on how this space can be utilized by three consumers - the traveler, the shopper and the one who does both. It aims to decongest this main street and make travelling by local trains convenient. The site I have chosen is located in the heart of Mumbai city and is one of the most important railway station on the Western Suburban railway system. It is known as Dadar railway station. More than 500,000 people use this railway station daily. With the maximum number of incoming pedestrian traffic, my design can be used as an example for other railway stations throughout Mumbai.Master of Science

The Kabir Project (K.P.) was born in Bangalore, India, in 2002, after the Gujarat pogrom, which occurred in the same year. In the context of increasing divisions in Indian society, defined by religion, social class, caste and gender, this research explores how this initiative, through live concerts and documentary films, spreads the folk music traditions of the 15th century mystic poet Kabir along with his messages of unity and understanding between confronted identity groups. This study presents the context of violence between Muslims and Hindus since the Indian Partition and the reasons for gendered violence in the conflict. It focuses also on the connections between globalization and minorities’ prosecution in liberal democracies; on the colonial roots and socioeconomic reasons which led to the Gujarat massacre in 2002; and the social role of the mystic as bridging cultural and religious differences. Through two complementary methods: in-depth interviews to audiences and organizers at the K. P. festivals in Bangalore and survey questionnaires distributed to the Kabir Festival Mumbai audiences, this study tries to answer the following questions: What is the potential for social change of the K. P. in the world-views of today's Indian citizens? Are the messages presented by films and folk music capable of generating positive attitudes towards dialogue between confronted identity categories? In which ways?The research reveals the success of the K. P. to challenge audiences’ minds through communication for development events, whose objectives are reached by spreading Kabir values through artistic forms, and by creating shared spaces between confronted identity sections. Festivals in rural areas help to diminish the distance between those antagonized communities. In addition, urban festivals also generate positive attitudes in elites towards dialogue and coexistence, since that is the social profile of the audience.

Since the opening of the world's first railway line the
Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825, railways and rail
stations have always maintained an important role in public life.
Railways and rail stations have always played the role of being
catalysts for urban development and growth. Many stations
worldwide are magnificent architectural creations. Railways and
rail stations have played an important role in the growth and
development of Mumbai city . This thesis tries to investigate the
issue of how railways and rail station can still be a catalyst for
urban growth and renewal. The historic Victoria Terminus, being
the birthplace of Indian Railways, has been selected for this case
study. A photographic study conducted for the whole day at
various exit points of Victoria Terminus reveals a unique pattern
of activities in and outside the Victoria Terminus. These
activities are so unique that they can be identified as the train
culture of Mumbai . These activities and their relation to the rail
station are responsible for making the station and its
surroundings a very vibrant and thriving urban area. A proposed
elevated railway line passing through the International Business
and Finance Center and its proposed rail station in the complex,
has been selected as a project site for the thesis. Architectural
design and design process of rail station is used to study the potentials of the rail station for being a catalyst of urban growth
and development. An urban diagram will show how a railway
station can influence urban renewal and growth, and how it can
help development of surrounding areas. Two stations, Victoria
Terminus with its historical significance, and Interchange, the
contemporary and newly proposed elevated railway station, are
compared and seen as equally important. Victoria Terminus still
standing tall as a vibrant urban center and Interchange station
represents the new and contemporary face of Mumbai, preserving
the train culture of Mumbai and benefiting from the urban issues
of Victoria Terminus will ensure a thriving urban center and
catalyst for urban growth.Applied Science, Faculty of

This research thesis examines the emerging trends in urban social patterns in Navi Mumbai, India. Unlike the other planned cities of India, Navi Mumbai was specifically built as a planned decentralization of a large metropolitan city. The research focuses on explaining the urban social pattern of this particular case study. An urban social pattern reflects the social characteristics of the urban setting. In the case of Navi Mumbai, the government had a social agenda of promoting a social pattern based on socioeconomic distribution rather than an ethnic one. Analysis of the data provides an insight to the results of this social agenda, and provides a basis to frame new ones. Thus, the study not only addresses a basic research question, but also has policy implications.
The research involves a comprehensive review of secondary source material to establish the theoretical framework for the research. The review also involves an extensive inspection of urban social patterns across the world to better contextualize this particular case study. The research puts forth a model that explains the social pattern of Navi Mumbai by social area analysis using variables, which are drawn from social aspects of any city and indigenous factors of Indian settlements. The model depends not only on statistical analysis but also on interpretation of local conditions. This research situates the emerging social pattern in geographic literature in developing countries.

This research project explores the work done by professionals who work with street children in Mumbai, India, and their perceptions of how art therapy could benefit this population. Ten organizations that serve street children in Mumbai, India participated in a qualitative interview and survey that aimed to gather information and explore the specific needs, psychological issues, and services provided to street children in Mumbai, India. The link between the surveys and the interviews strongly suggest an interest and desire from professionals to learn more about art therapy, and in corporate this modality into the services they provide for this population. The research found that the basic needs of food, shelter, and medical health are a foremost priority for organizations that serve street children, before psychological issues can be addressed. The literature, interviews, and the surveys also make it manifest that the development and incorporation of art therapy should be culturally specific, and sensitive to the needs of that population. Further research and study with these organizations is needed to garner a deeper understanding of how art therapy assessment and treatment modalities can be adapted to best serve street children in Mumbai, India.

"Looked into the streets - the glaring lights and the tall buildings - and there I conceived Metropolis" exclaimed the Austrian filmmaker Fritz Lang at the sight of New York. This visit inspired him while creating the sets and background for the radical movie Metropolis released in 1927. Taken right after World War I, the movie set in 2026 was heavily symbolic with German expressionism and it captured a projected socio-economic condition which was a direct result of the fears of the people at that time. The working class lived in subterranean spaces distraught with mundane labor while the affluent lived in skyscrapers and exotic terraced gardens and drove around in elevated highways. The city seemed to be this well-oiled machine existing only to cater to the needs of the upper class. The poor eventually try to overthrow the rich. The movie finally ends with the message of hope, that the mediator would create harmony among the classes and create peaceful coexistence.
The city of Mumbai in 2018 is in many ways - the Metropolis. When a city develops, it does not seem to cater to all sects of people. In fact, there seems to be a parallel relationship between the size of the city and its level of socio-economic disparity: the larger the city the less equal it tends to be. More often than not, the true soul of the city lies within that lower stratum of society who often live in slum-like settlements.

Texto completoResumen
One of the chief characteristics of a high-rise building is its verticality. However, it seems that most high-rise buildings do not directly pursue the architecture of verticality. Moreover, verticality is rarely perceived within this building type. This thesis investigates the potential of verticality in a residential high-rise building.
Together with the aspect of verticality, the thesis pursues an idea that even in a residential high-rise, the sense of community that typically exists in low-rise settlements on the ground and other connections to the outside can be at least partially preserved.
In summary, the proposal aims the architecture to celebrate the verticality of the high-rise as a part of the skyline, expressing the verticality through its facade. For the dwellers, sky gardens offer a sense of verticality with constructed views connecting the outside world. Six two-story-apartments adjoin the sky garden with a double height living room suggesting the apartments in a high rise shouldn't be flats. This double height vertical space extends into the balcony spaces suggesting a local verticality at the apartment level.Master of Architecture

Texto completoResumen
Stigma and discrimination are now recognised as major factors in the spread of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). To date, research has focused on how to change individual responses to stigma and discrimination without exploring the social and structural dimensions. Complex community and societal dimensions, such as culture, power and difference need to be explored if progress is to be made in coping with stigma and discrimination. India now has HIV/AIDS prevalence figures to rival sub Saharan Africa. The disease has spread from high-risk populations such as intravenous drug users and commercial sex workers into the general population. Married, monogamous, heterosexual women in slum communities are highly vulnerable. Factors such as caste, class, ethnic group, poverty and social expectations present formidable layers of stigma for these women. They have also faced discrimination since before their birth. HIV/AIDS imposes yet another layer of stigma and discrimination upon their shoulders. The aims of the study were firstly to investigate whether stigma and discrimination existed for these women by documenting and analysing literature on the individual, societal and cultural situation of Indian women living with HIV/AIDS (IWLWHAs). Secondly, the study aimed to identify, evaluate and explore the psychosocial needs and coping strategies of IWLWHAs, to determine the barriers to accessing health services, and describe community perceptions as they were experienced by the participants.This qualitative research study examined the multiple layers of stigma and discrimination experienced by women infected and affected by HIV/AIDS in a low socio-economic area of Mumbai, India. This was achieved by interviewing women who were benefiting from a home-based service - Positive Living - An integrated home-based care programme for people living with HIV/AIDS under the auspices of the KJ Somaiya Hospital in Mumbai. This programme provides a nutrition and home-based service to the nearby community slums. The conceptual framework used for this study was developed to evaluate the effects of natural disasters such as tsunamis, floods and earthquakes. HIV/AIDS is no less of a tragedy for individuals, families and communities. Within this framework, human capacity or the ability of individuals to cope is linked to social ecology - the relationship between individuals and their community. This dimension overlaps with culture and values. Three other dimensions affect humans - economic status, the environment and living conditions, and physical health. I have developed this framework further to examine threats and strengths which arise from these dimensions, and which affect human resilience. An exploratory case study was considered the most suitable approach to explore these areas, as it permits more sensitivity and richer data, and enhances rigour. In-depth interviews of 45 women in three different age groups, home visits and observations, focus group discussion, key informants, narratives, vignettes and photographs were supported by documentary data collection in triangulation of the data. A reflective journal recorded observations and perceptions in the field during three months in India.Results from the combined data indicated that IWLWHAs experienced discrimination in their families, communities and health care settings. Fear of future discrimination ensured secrecy which, in turn, prevented them accessing community services which would provide emotional and physical support. A range of reactions was demonstrated by the affected women, half of whom were also infected which added to their burden. Women who could not disclose their condition were extremely isolated, lacked family and community support, feared the future and felt hopeless. Despite their appalling living conditions of poverty, overcrowding, prevalence of disease and pollution, the women displayed a sense of pride, dignity and resilience. Culturally appropriate strategies are necessary to address the lack of education and awareness as only two of the 45 women had any knowledge of HIV/AIDS before their own diagnosis which often followed their husbands' positive status. In addition, the social and cultural dimensions which affect these women have to be explored and examined in order to strengthen the 'shock absorbers' of the family. The community health workers and co-ordinator of the home-based service were vital in providing emotional support and health information to the women. Finally, no change is possible unless men take responsibility for their sexual mores. Policy makers and programmes have to look further for strategies which would engage men in the process to change their attitudes and thus protect vulnerable women and children.

Kuroda, Ken. "Visceral politics of food : the bio-moral economy of worklunch in Mumbai, India". Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2018. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/3792/.
Texto completoResumen
This Ph.D. examines how commuters in Mumbai, India, negotiate their sense of being and wellbeing through their engagements with food in the city. It focuses on the widespread practice of eating homemade lunches in the workplace, important for commuters to replenish mind and body with foods that embody their specific family backgrounds, in a society where religious, caste, class, and community markers comprise complex dietary regimes. Eating such charged substances in the office canteen was essential in reproducing selfhood and social distinction within Mumbai’s cosmopolitan environment. These engagements were “visceral” since they were experienced in and expressed through the intimate scale of the gut, mediating and consolidating boundaries between self and Other on lines of (incommensurable) food habits. Such tensions, most visible between vegetarians and meat eaters, were aggravated in the wake of the “beef ban” in March 2015, which illegalized the slaughter of cattle in the state of Maharashtra, wherein cosmopolitan pleasure gave way to visceral disgust and estrangement. In connection, this thesis examines the vast work-lunch economy of Mumbai through three prominent businesses: the Dabbawalas, a 125-year-old home food delivery network; tiffin services, informal catering businesses operated by housewives, who commercially hybridize homemade food; and tech food start-ups, run by a generation of young entrepreneurs striving for novel takes on homemade food. Whereas anthropological literature on India has analysed either the emergence of a new urban public sphere since India’s economic liberalization, or the ripples it has made in the domestic sphere, this thesis examines how these businesses address commuter specific bio-moral anxieties of maintaining communal identity, purity, and wellbeing within the stressful environment of contemporary Mumbai, by means of mediating domestic intimacy with the urban public, at an affordable price. These interventions are conceptualized as “technologies of purity”, specific forms of visceral politics of food.

Texto completoResumen
Il forte valore rituale legato al Banganga ha attirato un grande flusso di pellegrini e turisti che, oltre ai residenti e agli abitanti dello slum, hanno contribuito all’incremento del degrado in svariati punti intorno alla cisterna: l’area lungo il lato nord, presenta attività commerciali non controllate e un tempio incombente su una strada stretta ma importantissima; l’area a sud, affacciata sull’oceano, ospita la rovina della Rama Kund, in evidente stato di abbandono; l’angolo a sud-est, caratterizzato da antichi lampioni, i deepastambhas inglobati da costruzioni fatiscenti e un bagno pubblico in stato di abbandono; e infine lo slum, in continua espansione verso il mare, quasi totalmente privo di servizi igienici e ad elevato rischio sanitario.
L’area a nord continuerà ad ospitare un tempio, un giardino, una piazza e un mercato, ma saranno in comunicazione tra loro grazie a un sistema modulare che oltre a rispettare e valorizzare l’affaccio sul Banganga, valorizzerà le preesistenze architettoniche, i deepastambhas, transformandoli in “landmark”urbani. Nell’area a sud-est sarà riqualificato il bagno pubblico, un edificio a servizio della comunità e dei pellegrini.
Il Rama Kund, diventerà il Rama “Chowk”, una piazza in cui i dislivelli presenti saranno riorganizzati in una sequenza di piazze a gradoni verso il mare, che introducono nuovi collegamenti tra il Banganga, lo slum e l’area circostante.
Per concludere il problema igienico dello slum viene risolto tramite la presenza di piccoli interventi modulari che andranno a definire cinque coppie di blocchi di servizi aperti su precisi spazi collettivi a disposizione dei residenti. Tutti gli interventi saranno collegati da un nuovo percorso concentrico a quello già esistente dal carattere religioso, a ridosso del Banganga; oltre a gestire i flussi delle persone il nuovo tracciato inquadra idealmente la cisterna, riprendendo l’idea di deambulazione intorno a un luogo sacro chiamato in hindi parikrama.

Pohjonen, Matti. "In media res : the problem of cultural translation of international news in Mumbai, India". Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 2014. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/20351/.
Texto completoResumen
My thesis is a theoretically driven yet empirically grounded investigation into the problem of cultural translation of international news in Mumbai, India. Underlying it is the assumption that a significant part of what we call international news is composed of a limited amount of original news material - text and pictures - in circulation on any given day. As a consequence of this, news organisations across the world have to routinely rely on news material produced somewhere else for their own coverage of major world events and themes. What we call international news thus largely consists of different kinds of practices through which this limited amount of original text and pictures is re-used in different ways by news producers in other parts of the world. The thesis explores in detail - empirically and theoretically - the different kinds of relationships that are formed with such practices of re-use and their broader significance to international news as a field of study. These questions are investigated in the thesis by looking at four points of entry to the English-language print and online news media in India: (1) a historical analysis of how the relationship between Indian news media and international news has been imagined since the colonial times; (2) the re-use of international news at the biggest English-language tabloid in India; (3) alternative journalistic practices by a popular Indian blog during the Asian tsunami in 2004; and (4) the discourse of international news in the Englishlanguage newspapers since India liberalised its economy in 1991. A key argument of the thesis is that what we broadly call international news should not be seen as a naturalised object of study. On the contrary, it is itself the outcome of different practices of articulation, sometimes antagonistic and contradictory, through which it has been given closure. These points of closure need to be now opened up for critical analysis. The thesis is thus as much about research into this relatively unexplored problem in international news research as it is a critical reflection into the theoretical frames of reference we use to understand news practices and processes in other parts of the world with different cultural, political and social histories and media environments. This critical dialogue between theory and practice of research developed in this thesis I call the problem of cultural translation of international news in Mumbai, India.

Texto completoResumen
Mumbai, città con la maggiore ricchezza dello stato, vede il 60% dei suoi abitanti vivere negli slum che si distribuiscono sul suo territorio e che si confrontano con un numero sempre più alto di grattacieli costruiti, spesso vuoti a causa del loro prezzo inaccessibile.
L’area di Walkeshwar, è stata fin dalla sua fondazione riservata ad un ceto sociale elitario, immersa nella vegetazione che caratterizza anche gran parte dell’area e dalla cisterna del Banganga, meta ambita dei pellegrini e dei turisti.
L'area di studio presenza di un grande insediamento informale litoraneo che si oppone ad una serie di edifici a torre, generando contrasti forti e rendendo il tessuto disgregato. “Social Square” si pone come duplice obiettivo la valorizzazione di un'importante emergenza architettonica, la Banganga, e la riqualificazione dello slum, privo di opere di urbanizzazione ed a rischio allagamento.
L’antica cisterna viene inserita all’interno di un sistema più ampio per potenziarne potenziate le connessioni. Attraverso la costruzione di cinque padiglioni e di un teatro a cielo aperto, adiacenti alla vasca, viene inoltre riqualificato e ampliato il disegno dello spazio pubblico offrendo nuove possibilità aggregative.
In linea con l’interpretazione della vita quotidiana in India, la riqualificazione dello slum riporta l’attenzione sullo studio delle relazioni tra spazio privato e pubblico: il progetto plasma lo spazio aperto, sempre attraversabile per creare una rete di percorsi, spazi, legami sociali. Configurando una grande piazza frammentata si offrono nuovi scenari urbani.
L’insediamento residenziale segue i principi dell’architettura incrementale e dell’autocostruzione per contenere i costi di edificazione, garantendo tempi di costruzione rapidi. Il progetto per Walkeshwar dimostra come le risorse della comunità possano contribuire alla riqualificazione di un’intera area che potrebbe diventare, in un futuro prossimo, un importante polo attrattivo per la città di Mumbai.

Texto completoResumen
Quando si parla di India, a maggior ragione parlando di Mumbai, non si può non fare i conti con quelle che sono le grandi contraddizioni sociali, economiche e culturali che la affliggono, proprio perché il vivere e le abitudini sono troppo distanti da noi per poter procedere con progetti alla “maniera occidentale”; per questo è assolutamente necessario invertire il punto di vista.
Questo progetto cerca di farlo, nel tentativo di dare una risposta a vere e proprie emergenze con cui l’area oggetto di studio ogni giorno deve relazionarsi, tutte legate al concetto prevalente di sovraffollamento urbano: questo comporta la densificazione residenziale in ciascun spazio non costruito, comprese anche le aree lungo le fasce costiere oceaniche, che mettono a rischio ogni giorno l’incolumità degli abitanti. Tutto quindi si gioca nel risolvere l’emergenza residenziale, promuovendo nuovi sistemi dell’abitare per le persone meno abbienti della società, al fine di poter migliorare le condizioni di vita del singolo nucleo familiare insieme con quelle della comunità, che si mantiene viva grazie alla densità urbana, sinonimo in questo contesto di unità di vicinato. La calibrazione della densità costruttiva si struttura su una presenza consistente dell’area, ossia il waterfront sul mare Arabico, il quale nel progetto diventa punto di forza del luogo e non più minaccia della città, proprio perché l’acqua diviene libera di interagire con nuovi spazi pubblici ampi che fungono da cuscinetto ai rischi di inondazione a cui il nuovo tessuto residenziale non è più esposto. Alla volontà di migliorare le condizioni di vita e all’eterogeneità delle problematiche pragmatiche annesse, il progetto accoglie, nella realizzazione o riqualificazione di alcuni edifici pubblici, quel velo di sacralità che la presenza della cisterna sacra del Banganga porta con sé e che condiziona ogni giorno le abitudini delle persone, le quali vivono il sacro come filo conduttore della quotidianità.

This research has taken the first step to study child-feeding practices of Indian mothers in relation to childhood obesity. It compares feeding practices of Indian mothers with children aged 1-5 years living in Australia and Mumbai. Mothers in the Australian sample were more likely to use 'positive' feeding practices hypothesized to promote healthy growth and weight status. However, mothers in both samples commonly used coercive feeding practices that potentially increase the risk of childhood obesity. These results will inform interventions designed to promote healthy weight status in this cultural group.

Texto completoResumen
La città di Mumbai è stata caratterizzata da una costante espansione territoriale e demografica. Questo sviluppo massivo ha portato ad un calo sempre maggiore dell’interesse per tematiche come l’abitare, la tutela del patrimonio architettonico, delle tradizioni e delle condizioni di vita minime. Ciò ha favorito un’edificazione intensiva incontrollata che non ha seguito né i caratteri della città di fondazione né della città coloniale ma delle logiche di natura funzionale, politica e, a volte, speculativa.
Il progetto di riqualificazione urbana dell’area Walkeshwar a Mumbai, Incremental Housing, prevede una serie di interventi mirati, che hanno come obiettivo principale il trovare una soluzione stabile e duratura ai problemi di questa grande città in continua espansione. L’analisi dell’area, lo studio della forma urbana e anche delle esigenze della popolazione ci ha portato a preferire determinate soluzioni che rappresentano per noi la miglior scelta in un contesto così complesso e degradato. Si rendeva necessaria una nuova progettazione del waterfront attraverso un innalzamento di quota ma anche l'introduzione di un sistema di “orti galleggianti” necessari per l’autosostentamento degli abitanti.
Nell’area residenziale, tenendo conto di aspetti quali la vivibilità, spazi minimi e autocostruzione, si prevede la progettazione di oltre 200 abitazioni oltre a aree destinate al terziario per aumentare le opportunità di lavoro, una scuola e un centro per le arti per garantire un luogo di formazione per tutte le età, edifici per l’accoglienza dei migliaia di pellegrini che ogni anno scelgono Mumbai come meta religiosa, un incremento delle aree verdi per sopperire alla totale mancanza di vegetazione nel quartiere.
Il progetto cerca allora di dare una risposta funzionale alle criticità presenti nell'area cercando di rispettare alcune parole-chiave che hanno guidato il progetto: flessibilità, modularità, spazi per la collettività, espansione, waterfront ed economia locale.

Texto completoResumen
Two things struck me during my time in Dharavi. The first was the bad public health and the second the ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit of the people who lived there. The health issues, a result of inadequate sanitation, can be directly linked to the shortage of toilets. For every toilet there are a thousand users and because of this over a quarter of the people in Dharavi choose instead to publicly defecate. On the other side of the coin however, stands Dharavi’s remarkable recycling industry and in Dharavi alone 80% of Mumbai’s plastic waste is recycled and given new use. The concept revolves around recyclability and combining industry with sanitation; recycling the produced waste and generating income. If there’s a way to profit from human waste it is likely that people would go to certain lengths to collect the necessary material. By removing the waste and converting it to humanure, positive side effect would include cleaner streets and in general a healthier population. The idea is therefore to build a waste management facility where income is generated through the collected waste and used to improve the surrounding community. In this proposed space you can go to the toilet, throw away your trash and food waste and even use the functions provided to do chores or simply relax. The food and human waste from toilets could be used as fertilizer and sold for a profit or perhaps even used as fuel. The garbage could be collected and sorted on spot and then sold onwards for further refinement.

Globally, there are 2.5 billion people who do not have access to improved sanitation. One third of these people are living in India. Bad sanitation is both undignified and causes the spread of diseases like diarrhoea. It is a large challenge to handle the problematic situation with sanitation, especially in urban areas. Sustainable sanitary systems that are energy self-sufficient and do not require sewage system are needed. There are new techniques with this in mind that are under development. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the possibilities to implement a sustainable sanitary system in slum areas of Mumbai. The chosen area and existing sanitary techniques is investigated in the literature study. To understand the user requirements and their living situation, a field study is performed in slum areas of Mumbai. Interviews are held with experts from organisations working with the sanitary situation in the area to get a deeper understanding about their experiences. The sanitary situation today is not well functioning, a new way of solving the problem is needed and it has to happen soon. Through an analysis of the empirical findings, three different sanitary situations are presented. It is important that each area is investigated to identify what situation there is, before building new sanitary facilities. To achieve a more sustainable sanitation, one system for each of the three situations should be developed. Requirements for each of the situations are presented and they all have two things in common, the toilet is shared between a determined amount of people and the user has the responsibility for the maintenance. From a cross mapping between the investigated sanitary techniques and the requirements for the three situations, it is clarified what techniques that are suitable in which context. No one of the investigated techniques is a perfect match and further development is needed. One of the sanitary situations is taken further through concept development. The concepts are compared against the requirements to identify the best concept. The best concept with modifications is visualised to exemplify how it may be designed. In the comparison between the requirements and concepts, gaps in the design and issues for further development are identified. The core of this master thesis is to emphasise the importance of having a holistic approach concerning the sanitary situation. It is important that new techniques are being developed with a close connection to the users and the specific environment. By investing money in more sustainable systems, the situation for the slum residents in Mumbai can be improved and at the same time contribute to a more sustainable society.

Introduction. Mumbai is one of the most highly-populated cities in the world and the commercial capital of India. Every day, about 6500 tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) and 2500 tons of construction and demolition waste are generated. The collection efficiency in Mumbai is relatively high for an Indian city, but there is a paucity of space for landfilling.. With the introduction of the Municipal Solid Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2000, biodegradable wastes could not be landfilled without prior processing.. To find a solution to this, the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) entrusted a consultancy with the task of determining solutions to the city's waste treatment challenges in the short-, medium-, and long-term. The report, which was readied in year- 2006 recommended the capping of the currently-operating landfills accompanied by landfill-gas (methane) capture, financed through the clean development mechanism. Further, it advised the MCGM to compost 6000 tons of mixed MSW and subject 500 tons of separately-collected market and restaurant wastes to biomethanation daily. The latter solution originates from the MSW rules which state that this fraction should be separately collected and used. This solution would also incur the lowest tipping fees.. Thus, centralised solutions can be beneficial and also more economical. The reaction to there recommendation has been from many that the civil societies role in waste handling have been rejected and that decentralised solutions are more beneficiary and cheaper. Objectives. This study has therefore focused on decentralised and on-site treatment solutions of biodegradable solid wastes, in preference to the conventional, in-vogue centralised solution. The peninsular tip of the city which is an affluent area of Mumbai – the A ward – was selected as the study area. If treatment of waste could be commercially viable, was the driver behind the study. Methods. Material flow analysis of the flow of biodegradable waste has been applied as a basis for this study. Material flow cost accounting has also been carried out. A stakeholder analysis has been performed in order to understand how the system would be influenced by differing perceptions and interests of the stakeholders associated with it. Scenario for treating all the waste of 'A' ward onsite, decentralised and centralised was compared to the current situation. Results. Commercial and institutions were the largest generators in the 'A' ward, and was closely followed by the residences. The generators of waste were the primary stakeholders and the waste managers were the secondary. If all the waste were to be treated on-site of generation, the net cost of SWM services would almost be eliminated. Decentralised and centralised solution had almost the same net cost. On-site or decentralised treatment would require 0.3% of the total area of 'A' ward. Conclusion. The MSW rules which came into force in year-2000 address the health, hygiene and environmental goals quite satisfactorily and degree of compliance to these rules is a good proxy for the level of hygiene and environmental upkeep. In a low-income country, cost-efficiency of SWM services is crucial. Were labour is cheap, costs could also serve as indicator of resource conservation. It should also be mentioned that resource recovery also has several economic, environmental and social side-benefits as well. Tools of industrial ecology like material flow analysis are important for decision support regarding this, however in depth study of the objectives and context of the study should be conducted before deciding on the method.

Texto completoResumen
Les politiques à l'égard de l'habitat illégal jouent un rôle central dans l'effort de réduction de la pauvreté à l'échelle locale et nationale ; étant donné que la pauvreté devient de plus en plus un phénomène urbain. Cependant; la réduction de la pauvreté est rarement définie comme objectif principal des politiques des bidonvilles; mais est une conséquence indirecte de leur application. Cette thèse a comme objectif l'amélioration de la compréhension des effets des politiques à l'égard des bidonvilles sur le bien-être des ménages. Deux cas d'études sont abordés: le Schéma de Réhabilitation des Bidonvilles (SRB) à Mumbai (Inde) et les Projets Urbains Intégraux (PUI) à Medellin (Colombie). Entre autre; nous répondons aux questions suivantes : Quelles sont les causes de la mobilité résidentielle post-réhabilitation ? Quels sont les impacts de la SRB sur l'accès au crédit ? Quels sont les effets des projets de renouvellement urbain sur le niveau de consolidation des logements ? Nous utilisons des méthodologies récentes d'économie empirique permettant de comparer des groupes bénéficiaires des politiques à des groupes non-bénéficiaires. Dans le cas de Mumbai, une enquête a été réalisée par l'auteur auprès de 510 ménages dans 9 bidonvilles cibles de la politique SRB; celle-ci ayant été mise en place dans quatre d'entre eux. Dans le cas de Medellin trois sources d'information ont été utilisés (L'Enquête Qualité de Vie; l'Enquête Medellin Solidaria et l'Enquête SISBEN) permettant le suivi d'un ensemble de bénéficiaires et de non-bénéficiaires des politiques; avant et après les opérations de rénovation urbaineSlum policies play an important role in poverty alleviation efforts at the local scale and at the national scale - as poverty becomes increasingly 'urban' phenomena. However, poverty reduction is rarely positioned as the main objective of slum policies and, when occurring, is an indirect result of their application. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a more complete understanding of how slum policies affect households' welfare. To explore these issues, two slum-upgrading interventions are used as case studies: the Slum Rehabilitation Scheme in Mumbai (India) and Urban Integral Projects in Medellin (Colombia). This research has addressed issues ranging from the causes of post-rehabilitation residential mobility to the impacts of slum rehabilitation on households' access to credit as well as the effects of Urban Renewal Projects on housing consolidation. We used recent evolution in empirical economics methodologies that allow comparing policy beneficiaries to non-beneficiaries. In the case of Mumbai a household's survey was carried out by the author in 9 slum pockets, 4 of which had already been rehabilitated and 5 to-be rehabilitated slums. In the case of Medellin household level information was obtained from three secondary sources (the Quality of Life Survey, the Medellin Solidaria Survey and the SISBEN Survey) that allowed following a set of beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries before and after Urban Renewal Projects took place

Buscar texto completoResumen
L’area del Walkeshwar di Mumbai presenta una serie di punti critici che negli ultimi anni stanno affliggendo anche altre aree della megalopoli: l’emergenza abitativa e l’assenza di spazi pubblici e servizi di base. I continui flussi migratori hanno plasmato l’area del waterfront in un conglomerato informale che non dialoga con il tessuto circostante e che nasconde in sé una serie di relazioni sociali di altissimo grado: da queste analisi è emersa la volontà di fornire un modello abitativo che preservasse e implementasse il rapporto uomo-uomo e rispettasse gli standard abitativi imposti dalla legge. Si è proposta dunque una soluzione alternativa allo sfruttamento selvaggio del terreno che favorisce un’edilizia High Density - Low Rise con matrici che trovano la loro giustificazione nel Genius loci dell’area: si identificano delle piastre residenziali che riconfigurano il nuovo waterfront, collegate da un sistema viario che connette il progetto al tessuto esistente. L’intervento non si conclude con la sola proposta di un modello abitativo ma si concentra e cerca di risolvere la totale assenza di spazi di aggregazione e aree verdi: riproponendo il primitivo ambiente autoctono della penisola, si è costruita una fascia verde di mangrovie che da un lato servisse all’accumulo di terreno per la realizzazione delle piastre residenziali e dall’altro fornisse una protezione naturale contro le mareggiate che affliggono la costa

Texto completoResumen
La città di Mumabi è stata caratterizzata negli ultimi decenni da un’espansione intensiva, che ha posto scarsa attenzione ai temi dell’abitare, della salvaguardia architettonica, della conservazione dei caratteri tradizionali, favorendo invece una crescita incontrollata e un paesaggio urbano di difficile riconoscibilità.
Parallelamente si assiste a una riduzione delle dimensioni dell’alloggio, destinato a diventare un’abitazione bassa di natura informale, realizzata abusivamente con materiali di scarto e spesso inadeguata dal punto di vista strutturale e impiantistico.
Il progetto per lo Swasti Settlement si occupa del tema dell’”abitare”, ponendosi come un intervento di riqualificazione urbana nell’area Walkeshwar, basato su processi di rigenerazione che trovano principi nel rapporto tra tradizione e contemporaneità, emergenze architettoniche e tessuto urbano.
L’obiettivo è quello di trovare soluzioni alternative al problema delle megalopoli, in grado di instaurare un dialogo tra abitudini e necessità attuali, tra qualità dell’abitare e caratteri del luogo, tra spazio pubblico e spazio privato.
In seguito a un’analisi e una lettura critica dell’area di Banganga Tank, sono state definite le matrici per lo sviluppo del nuovo insediamento:
un waterfront distribuito su due livelli distinti, funge da connessione tra gli estremi del quartiere, offrendo permeabilità fisiche e visive con il contesto urbano circostante.
Sul precedente tessuto dello slum viene ricalcata la definizione degli spazi pubblici, comunitari e delle infrastrutture; mentre per differenza si compongono gli isolati residenziali.
Nove variazioni tipologiche della casa a corte, si distribuiscono moltiplicate e ruotate, prestando attenzione ad aspetti quali vivibilità, spazi minimi, qualità architettonica, microclimatica, autosostentamento e autocostruzione.

Texto completoResumen
Displacement induced by urban development projects, is becoming an
increasingly significant issue in rapidly growing cities with high proportions of 'informal settlements' or 'slums'. In the case of Mumbai, India, the Mumbai Urban
Transport Project (MUTP), financed by the World Bank in 2002, included a
Resettlement and Rehabilitation component with a Resettlement and Rehabilitation
Policy, embracing the World Bank's Involuntary Resettlement Policy, to help restore
the overall living standards of the displaced households. This paper, based on 48
face-to-face interviews with the displaced families, assesses the impact of this
resettlement, by adopting the concepts and theories of "household assets" as
developed by the discourse on international development. The evidence indicating
decreased household assets raises questions about the World Bank's perspective of
resettlement as 'development'. This research shows that the essential endeavor for
consideration in such relocation projects is not only the change in the physical
environment from low-rise villages to medium-rise apartments, but also the way by
which the resettlers organize themselves to manage and maintain their new form of
housing. Hence, the paper suggests that resettlement projects must make a stronger
commitment to allow resettlers to shift in consolidated groups, with special support
for the group members to learn and to cooperate with one another to maintain their
new housing. With respect to the World Bank's involuntary resettlement policy, this
paper argues that the interaction between efforts to consult with the public and
strategies to prevent unauthorized capture of project benefits must be closely
examined. In fact, the policy may be partially applied to restrain the strategies of
local agencies to prevent such capture, as the policy may not always be congruent
with the intricate systems of slum settlements. The conclusion and final
recommendation is for relocation analyses to be extended beyond basic housing
standards, to also evaluate economic, social, and hygienic repercussions, and their
influences on one another.Applied Science, Faculty of

A thesis submitted to the University of Mumbai for the Ph.D. (Science) degree in Physics
under the guidance of Prof. Nathani Basavaiah.Brief of Conclusion : Environmental pollution due to anthropogenic sources of vehicular exhausts and industrial emissions is rapidly becoming a critical issue of public concern worldwide. Industrialization, urbanization, population growth and associated increase in energy demands have resulted in a profound deterioration of environmental quality in urban India. Specifically, burning of fossil fuels in industries and transport sector has led to increase in concentrations of particulate pollutants in the environment leading to pollution, which can threaten the health of human beings and affect the quality of environment. The increasing pollution level day-by-day has prompted policy makers, scientists, environmental organizations to opt for fast, cost effective, complimentary yet reliable tools against the existing traditional time consuming, cost intensive and destructive tools for quick information. Environmental magnetism is one such tool which has been widely used to investigate the degree, source, scope and spatio-temporal evolution of anthropogenic pollution related to industrial and other human activities in this thesis. The determination of different magnetic mineral sources, called magnetic components, is an important task in environmental magnetism. The premise is based on that human activities constitute an additional source of magnetic components, which can be utilized for pollution monitoring. Technical challenges in recognition of anthropogenically produced magnetic particles in high magnetic background values from Deccan Trap basalts pose difficulties in order to define accurately a standard magnetic reference level. For the first time, two case studies of a successful pollution screening from Deccan Trap basalts employing integrated environmental magnetic, geochemical and microscopic investigations were carried out. Further, in situ susceptibility survey and laboratory measurements of a suite of rock magnetic parameters were carried out for obtaining information on spatial magnetic dust/soil, carrying a load of environmentally relevant heavy metals. Mineral magnetic measurements as a tool for mapping heavy metal contamination of road dusts and topsoils around a power plant were reported here. As aforementioned, virtually all types of magnetic matter generated by anthropogenic mechanisms outlined were within coarser particle range from 0.2 m up to tens of m. Thus for representative particulate nature of the road dusts and contaminated topsoils and for minimization of natural magnetic contamination of the basaltic environment, the dust samples <44 µm and topsoil samples <63 µm fraction were analyzed in detail. This fractionation process ensured removal of coarse grains of basaltic material and contained a large component of the anthropogenic dust particulates of airborne origin. We briefly summarize the results and provide a brief of the future scope of the present thesis work.

Texto completoResumen
L’area d’intervento si trova a Mumbai, a sud di Malabar Hill, è compresa tra il Mar Arabico e un’antica cisterna sacra denominata Banganga Tank ed è interessata dalla presenza di un insediamento informale ad alta densità. La tesi ha permesso il confronto con un problema diffuso che caratterizza le aree urbane e suburbane dell’India, ovvero la presenza di insediamenti informali sorti all’interno del tessuto consolidato della città, privi dei servizi primari e delle condizioni igieniche essenziali. Per approfondire la conoscenza dell’area sono state effettuati dei sopralluoghi mirati sull’area di progetto e sono state studiate e visitate alcune città e architetture indiane appartenenti prevalentemente all’area nord-occidentale del paese. La riflessione progettuale sarà focalizzata sulla relazione tra residenze e spazio pubblico, più precisamente il progetto si mira a tracciare delle linee guida generali per il rinnovamento dei caratteri identitari del luogo, relazionati al monumento sacro preesistente, la cisterna del Banganga. Il progetto propone pertanto la ridefinizione del disegno del sistema urbano, insieme a un piano per lo sviluppo di soluzioni puntuali orientate alla riorganizzazione delle residenze e degli spazi pubblici, in accordo con le necessità delle comunità di abitanti attualmente insediati, attraverso un processo di gestione della realizzazione del progetto in fasi successive. Esso mira quindi alla valorizzazione delle preesistenze architettoniche, importante patrimonio per la città di Mumbai, proponendo un processo di pianificazione per fasi orientato a definire delle strategie d'intervento finalizzate alla rigenerazione del tessuto informale e dello spazio pubblico.

Texto completoResumen
Teacher attrition is a problem that has consequences for children and schools in many countries; children are affected negatively both emotionally and intellectually, while schools suffer setbacks, such as financial stress and disruption of the learning environment. This multiple case study explored the perspectives of stakeholders in India regarding how teacher attrition in private early childhood schools influenced students, teachers, parents, school leaders, and schools, as well as the factors that stakeholders identified as important for teacher retention in private early childhood education. The conceptual framework was Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory. Data were collected through interviews with teachers and school leaders with at least 2 years of experience, and parents of children at affected schools. Twelve participants were selected via homogenous purposive sampling, with 4 in each group. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results of data analysis showed that teacher attrition led to an increase in workload for the remaining teachers, causing mental and physical stress. Positive workplace relationships were needed to stem the problem. School leaders felt that teachers' salary should be commensurate with workload, while parents believed teacher contracts should include a minimum number of years of service required. Future research might focus on factors considered important to stemming teacher attrition such as flexible timetables, reduced workloads, and teaching independence. The study has implications for positive social change by providing insights to help policy makers and education leaders in India understand and possibly lessen the problem of teacher attrition

Texto completoResumen
The thesis portrays various spaces in Mumbai where certain non-normative sexualities interact in relation to the consumption of cultural or material resources with which they build their gender, identity and sexuality. In relation to it, this piece of work interrogates the hijra or the popular transvestite population in Mumbai, and the ways in which they represent their bodies. It explores linkages between these processes, and the modern consumption of beauty practices, feminization of their bodies like the consumption of female hormone tablets, and surgical measures like silicone breast implants. Through these mechanisms, the hijras embody beauty and other facets of bodily modifications in constructing their identity. These embodied practices of beauty by the hijras further charts the new meaning of the hijra body in respect to the local identification of their identity in relation to the global transgender identities. Furthermore, with regards to the body modifications and construction of identities, the research also draws attention to the transsexual identified individuals in Mumbai and the clinical discourses that are related to transsexual experience in this context. Thus, the thesis as a whole negotiates the various strands of transgender identities in Mumbai and (dis) similarities in which hijras represent their identities to the society, and claim their gender.

Texto completoResumen
As gender-based discrimination and violence against women continues to be a critical human rights issue across the world there is a growing demand of engaging men in transforming the relations, norms and the inequal social structures. Even though there are many laws and policies in place to protect women’s rights they are poorly implemented due to the fact that society and social institutions do not fundamentally support them. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate how interviewed male college students describe their experiences of participating in a one-year program led by the non-governmental organisation called Men Against Violence and Abuse (MAVA), based in Mumbai, India. Focus has been on the training program seen from the participating students’ perspective and in what way they perceive it has had an impact on their view of gender-based discriminations, equality and patriarchal norms in society. The collected data has been analysed through the theory of patriarchy and gender socialization. The results of the study show that, even though the program has been successful in their goal to change the participants mindset to some extent, the main visible change seem to have been on the students interpersonal skills. The interviewed students report an awareness of gender-based issues in society but also a change on a personal level such as a developed confidence and communication skills. Methods like interactive sessions and street-plays as well as being exposed to new environments, are recurrently expressed to have been positive and beneficial experiences. Another finding is the belief that gender-norms and behaviour are deep-rooted in society. Therefore to change the mindset and changing the norms is a slow process and something that will take time.

Texto completoResumen
Interorganizational arrangements, such as partnerships between non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and governmental organizations (GOs), are increasingly regarded by policymakers as critical to effective social sector development. This is particularly true in the arena of housing provision for residents of slums and squatter settlements. The recent pursuit of collaboration between NGOs and government housing agencies in large urban agglomerations such as Mumbai, India marks a significant shift from the adversarial climate that previously characterized NGO-GO interactions. In other words, NGOs engaged in housing issues appear to be evolving from ''housing rights advocates'' to ''housing developers''. However, very little research has examined the struggles and pressures facing organizations as they travel from confrontational to collaborative relationships. This dissertation provides an empirical and theoretical basis for examining the evolution of NGO-GO relationships over time and, in doing so, links research on urban political economy of housing to research on organizational life cycles and strategic institutional change.
Two questions are central to the dissertation: 1) How do shifts in state housing policies influence the strategies pursued by advocacy NGOs in housing the poor? 2) What are the factors that influence the emergence and sustenance of NGO-government housing partnerships? To address these, I use a multiple-case study analysis of critical incidents in the history (from 1981 to 2003) of three NGOs in Mumbai: Nivara Hakk Suraksha Samiti, Youth for Unity and Voluntary Action, and Society for the Promotion of Area Resource Centres. In addition, I examine five state and city level housing authorities. The dissertation's findings address three broad themes of literature: i) NGO-GO Interaction Styles; ii) Institutional Isomorphism; and, iii) NGO Development Continuum. Findings related to these broad streams of literature suggest that NGO behavior is shaped both by public policy orientation and by internal strategies and decisions. In efforts to gain and retain legitimacy, NGOs will likely use multiple interaction styles both simultaneously and sequentially. Analysis of internal institutional processes in NGOs suggests that organizational responses to isomorphic demands are circumscribed by path-dependent factors and the variability in NGO resource environments. NGO development strategies have evolved towards greater complexity and sophistication.Ph. D.

Indian youth, as young members of the South African Indian diaspora, are inheritors both of a conservative - yet adaptable - home culture and the marginalised identities of apartheid. However, the tensions between their desire to be recognised as both 'modern' South Africans and as ' traditional ' Indians create a space in which they are able to (re)create for themselves an identity that can encompass both their home cultures and the desires of a Westernised modernity through the tropes of Bollywood. Bollywood speaks to its diasporic audiences through representations of an idealised 'traditional yet modern' India. Although India is not a place of return for this young generation, Bollywood representations of successful diasporic Indian culture and participation in the globalised Bollywood industry through concerts and international award ceremonies has provided an opportunity for young Indians in South Africa to re-examine their local Indian identities and feel invited to re-identify with the global diasporas of India.

Texto completoResumen
Les politiques à l'égard de l'habitat illégal jouent un rôle central dans l'effort de réduction de la pauvreté à l'échelle locale et nationale ; étant donné que la pauvreté devient de plus en plus un phénomène urbain. Cependant; la réduction de la pauvreté est rarement définie comme objectif principal des politiques des bidonvilles; mais est une conséquence indirecte de leur application. Cette thèse a comme objectif l'amélioration de la compréhension des effets des politiques à l'égard des bidonvilles sur le bien-être des ménages. Deux cas d'études sont abordés: le Schéma de Réhabilitation des Bidonvilles (SRB) à Mumbai (Inde) et les Projets Urbains Intégraux (PUI) à Medellin (Colombie). Entre autre; nous répondons aux questions suivantes : Quelles sont les causes de la mobilité résidentielle post-réhabilitation ? Quels sont les impacts de la SRB sur l'accès au crédit ? Quels sont les effets des projets de renouvellement urbain sur le niveau de consolidation des logements ? Nous utilisons des méthodologies récentes d'économie empirique permettant de comparer des groupes bénéficiaires des politiques à des groupes non-bénéficiaires. Dans le cas de Mumbai, une enquête a été réalisée par l'auteur auprès de 510 ménages dans 9 bidonvilles cibles de la politique SRB; celle-ci ayant été mise en place dans quatre d'entre eux. Dans le cas de Medellin trois sources d'information ont été utilisés (L'Enquête Qualité de Vie; l'Enquête Medellin Solidaria et l'Enquête SISBEN) permettant le suivi d'un ensemble de bénéficiaires et de non-bénéficiaires des politiques; avant et après les opérations de rénovation urbaine.

This dissertation view a sample of projects conducted by two different non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Dharavi, a slum-area in Mumbai, India, and examines how they con-tribute to children and youth ́s social development and empowerment. Due to the large global population of children and youths, as well as that a large percentage of the world ́s inhabitants reside in slum-areas, it is considered of importance to gain information regarding the social work that isbeing conducted with the focus. The field work is carried out through interviews and observations in the area. The focus is five different projects that are conducted by two different NGOs in Mumbai. This dissertation display how the two theories, empowerment and social development, are connected to each other as well as the positive impact the NGOs have on the participating childrenand youths. The findings of the field work lead to an understand-ing in which ways NGOs can help children and youths to reachempowerment and how they contribute to the social development of the participants. The research shows the impact the organizations activities have on the children and youths lives.Denna uppsats granskar ett urval av projekt som genomförs av två olika icke-statliga organisationer i Dharavi, ett slumområde i Mumbai, Indien, och undersöker hur de bidrar till barn och ungdomars sociala utveckling och empowerment. Då en stor del av världens befolkning består av barn och ungdomar, samt att en stor del av den globala populationen lever i slumområden, anses det viktigt att inhämta information gällande det sociala arbete som bedrivs i dessa områden. Data till uppsatsen har inhämtats genom intervjuer och observationer från två icke-statliga organisationer i det valda området. Uppsatsen visar hur de två teorierna, empowerment och social utveckling, är kopplade till varandra och påvisar även det positiva inflytande de icke-statliga organisationerna har på sina deltagare. Resultaten av fältarbetet leder till en förståelse för på vilket sätt de enskilda organisationer kan bidra till att barn och ungdomar uppnår empowerment samt hur de bidrar till deltagarnas sociala utveckling. Forskningen visar den effekt organisationerna har på barnen och ungdomarnas liv.

It has been claimed that the Internet is influencing not only ways of doing business and modes of communication and recreation, but also the ways human beings practice religion. Most studies undertaken on how people are using the web for their religious needs are done in North America, largely among Christians. This study was aimed at testing whether this was true of Catholic users of the Internet from the Archdiocese of Mumbai, India. In order to verify the religious use of the Internet, focus groups were conducted among various sectors of Catholic users to explore whether differences in age, sex and religious groupings resulted in significant variations in net usage. The data obtained from the focus groups was further tested with a survey questionnaire, administered to a representative sampling of Catholics from the Archdiocese of Mumbai. The data provides not only general trends of net use among the Catholics, but also nuanced perceptions of the net in relationship to its religious use. Research evidence indicated that the Internet was not being used for religion by the Catholics of Mumbai. The fact that there was an inclination towards and ambivalence to using the net shows that there are deeper issues that are influencing net usage. These issues could relate to the free-for-all style of the net and the authority-bound character of the Catholic faith; the interactive character of the net in contrast to the top-down style of communication of the Catholic church; and the global virtual community of the net in comparison with the tangible faith commitment to the local parish community in worship and practice. In conclusion hypotheses proposed to explain the poor usage of the Net are substantiated and new issues suggested, that require further research in the context of net use for religion.

""How are my students supposed to learn anything when they are hungry?" : Different approaches to curricula and teaching in preschools of varied socio economic capital in Mumbai, India". Thesis, Stockholms universitet, Barn- och ungdomsvetenskapliga institutionen, 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-130450.
Texto completoResumen
This paper is based on a study conducted in Mumbai, India, regarding how early education is organized in the absence of a national curriculum for the pre-primary education and how the quality of the teaching seems to be affected. The purpose was to learn what actors in education believe is important for child development and how that differs in schools with different socio-economical capital. To gain this knowledge, qualitative interviews with teachers and principals were conducted to outline what they find important in their schools, what they wish to develop and change and how they assess their work. The respondents are working in schools very different from each other and the answers were accordingly. Conclusions are that in schools with students of favorable socio economical situation, a progressive approach including play and a child-centered teaching was used in contrast to schools of low socio-economical standard where a traditional take on education was in place, making students school ready through focusing on reading and writing skills. Spirituality, religion and manners were brought to the researchers’ attention as important aspects in education for the respondents, which mirror the cultural environment of India. The decentralized school system and the lack of a legislated national curriculum do not benefit disadvantaged children. An expansion of high-quality Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) in India is suggested as well a progressive approach to teaching with play incorporated.

If we don't take care of how people are moving into cities, it will continue happen in the form of slums. This project is an attempt, a start in the search of finding a typeology that we clearly need.
