This paper sets out the socio-spatial practices of PS2 and Street Society in territorialised, post conflict Northern Ireland – whose work combines pedagogical and improvisation theory to prototype distinctive social models. These practices were formed by a continual process of practical involvement and reflection (through writing) and evaluation (funding permitting), alongside the author-practitioners' search for theoretical concepts that would bring clarity and an alternative perspective to the processes and outcomes. Concepts and approaches taken from pedagogical theory and, uniquely in the case of architecture, improvisational theory, will be used to explore critical aspects of the specific practices, and more generally assert that such socio-spatial ‘street pedagogy’ offers a space of rehearsal and ultimately, a site for the development of socially-just aesthetics. The paper thus proposes a theoretical scaffolding for practices which increase diversity and diminish resource consumption in the contexts of climate emergency and a politics of precarity.

With rapid changes in urban living today, peoples’ behavioural patterns and spatial practices undergo a constant process of adaptation and negotiation. Using “house” as a laboratory and everyday life and spatial relations of residents as a framework of analysis, the paper examines the spatial planning concepts in traditional and contemporary Iranian architecture and the associated socio-cultural practices. Discussions are drawn upon from a pilot study conducted in the city of Kerman, to investigate ways in which contemporary housing solutions can better cater to the continually changing socio-cultural lifestyles of residents. Data collection for the study involved a series of participatory workshops and employed creative visual research methods, participant observation and semi structured interviews to examine the interlacing of everyday socio-spatial relations and changing perception of identity, belonging, socio-cultural and religious values and conflict. The inferences from the study showcases the emerging social and cultural needs and practices of people manifested through the complex relationship between residents, the places in which they live, and its spatial planning and organisation. For a better understanding of this complex relationship, the paper argues the need for resituating spatiality as a socio-cultural paradigm.

The article analyzes the history of the emergence of the socio-spatial phenomenon of the suburbs in the Western world and in Ukraine. A comparison of suburbs in the Soviet Union (with regard to suburban villages, dachas and microraiony) and suburbs in the United States and Canada is presented. An understanding of the suburbs and its architectural / urban planning environment from the perspective of social theory is presented. It was found that the suburbs and their architectural environment were used in the propaganda of the United States and the Soviet Union to produce certain cultural meanings with economic and political consequences. The subtleties of using the concept of the suburbs in the post-socialist context were considered. Based on the main socio-geographical characteristics of suburban areas of Ukrainian cities, it was found that the use of the concept of suburbs requires theoretical analysis in the post-socialist context and its distinction with the concepts of suburbia (direct imitation, written in Ukrainian as “субурбія”) and suburban space (“prymiskyi prostir”). It is argued that the spatial criterion and the criterion of connection with the city (suitable for the allocation of suburban space and suburban area) are insufficient to define the suburbs and do not reflect the complexity of this phenomenon. Important criteria for the allocation of suburbs are also the social status of residents, their daily practices, place and type of employment and leisure activities, which can be summarized as the identity of residents, as well as the type of residential architecture and character of everyday landscapes. It was found that because Ukrainian suburban spaces are eclectic with a mixture of different social classes and housing, retain their rural face with the presence of farming, the concept of peri-urban or rural-urban fringe is a better term to describe the suburban area of post-socialist cities than the suburbs. Only certain parts of the suburban spaces tend to become American style suburbs with a predominance of single-family houses, one social class and car use. The theoretical features of understanding the phenomenon of the suburbs and more successful concepts for its definition in post-socialist conditions are important for the creation of more socially thought-out urban planning documentation and strategy for their development taking into account local characteristics.

This article advances the argument that the acceleration of practices introduced by digital technologies also impact key concepts of social theory. Digital technologies not only give rise to new concepts, but they also reconfigure our entire socio-political conceptual vocabulary. In particular, this acceleration reorganises the relationship between the spatial and temporal dimensions of political concepts. As a consequence, our spatially defined understanding of authority, hierarchy or relation underestimates the repercussions of shifting temporalities. This article pursues this shift from space to time and outlines how temporal relationality is gradually impacting the representations and images we live by.

The article presents the analysis of maternal identities through the prism of the temporal-spatial distribution of everyday maternal practices. Markers are described by which women determine maternal identities, factors of their construction, patterns of the «ideal mother» and the spatio-temporal distribution of everyday motherhood practices in the context of women's determination of their maternal role. Theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of motherhood are analyzed, in particular, the possibilities of applying the activity-structural approach to the analysis of maternal identities and the relevance of the concepts of «care landscape», «ghettoization of motherhood», «temporal poverty» in the context of modern everyday motherhood practices. The application of the structural-activity concept allowed to analyze the daily practices of motherhood in time and space, and, accordingly, to identify the basic conditions for structuring the practices of motherhood of women with different family and work statuses. The paper emphasizes that maternal identities are not rigidly defined and provide opportunities to choose from a fairly wide range of cultural patterns, acting as a result of individual life projects. One of the main contradictions today is the contradiction between, on the one hand, the requirements of the labor market, the processes of individualization that lead to active involvement of mothers in employment and, on the other hand, the spread of «intensive» and «responsible» child-centered motherhood in modern parental culture. These practices are becoming more intense in terms of the time, attention, and effort that mothers put into caring for their children. The article concludes that such «intensive motherhood» acts as a substitute, compensatory mechanism for the functioning of the institution of fatherhood in an unsatisfactory (imperfect) socio-economic environment, as well as traditional for our society gender bias in favor of women in family responsibilities and parental functions.

Universal category characterizing the processes of the modern city is the concept of «modern urban practices». The object of the study is modern urban practices, which include activities and processes that determine the development of urban space and ecosphere of the city, improvement of the urban environment, realization of the «right to the city». The subject of the study is the political aspects of modern urban practices, which have a number of areas for the urban space development, preservation and improvement of the urban environment, and enhancement of the citizens’ life quality. In particular, it includes the preservation of cultural heritage, revival of small towns, development of the city’s ecosphere and solution of environmental problems, as well as the solution of issues related to the adaptation of migrants and intercultural interaction, etc. The purpose of this study is to conceptualize the understanding of «modern urban practices», to determine the socio-political aspects of modern urban practices formation, the role of political factors in their development. The methodology for analyzing these challenges is based on a systematic approach that makes it possible to identify connections and relationships between the phenomena of urban practices, their functions in the general urban space, and the political status of these social practices. The result of the study is a typology of modern urban practices in terms of their determination by socio-political factors, the detection of their essence and focus. The application of the study results is based on the fact that they complement the modern concepts of urbanism; allow us to consider the heterogeneous phenomena of the city development within the framework of social life, determining the influence of political factors. As a result of the study the following conclusion can be drawn: the definition and analysis of the socio-political aspects of modern urban practices make it possible to identify their social essence, the possibility of implementing specific models for the development of the urban environment, creating conditions for its safety and comfort, and improving the quality of human life.

Abstract The current study examined (a) the impact of religious socialization practices and parents’ concepts on the development of an abstract religious concept (i.e., God) in young children, and (b) whether or not children’s socio-cognitive ability moderates the relationship between their religious concept and sources of information about the concept. 215 parent-child dyads from diverse religious backgrounds (Protestant Christian, Roman Catholic, Muslim, non-affiliated) participated. Children were between the ages of 3.52 and 6.98 years of age (M = 4.770, SD = .767). Four main findings emerged from this study. First, children conceptualized God as more humanlike than their parents did. Second, younger children were more likely to have a humanlike conception of God than older children. Third, parents’ concept of God and children’s concept of God had a stronger relationship when the child’s mental-state reasoning was more accurate. Fourth, the frequency of children’s engagement in religious practices was unrelated to children’s concept of God after controlling for child’s age. Taken together, these findings lend support for the view that social cognition is an important factor in young children’s acquisition of cultural information about abstract entities.

Purpose The purpose of the paper is to explore the use of, and challenges associated with, spatial change management strategies. This is done through a discussion on how spatial environments may be utilised to effect organisational change. The intention is to provoke new thinking on physical change initiatives and to challenge the often highly deterministic view on the effects of contemporary workspace concepts. Design/methodology/approach The paper is structured as a case study-based literature review, drawing on literature from the fields of environmental psychology, organisational branding, corporate real estate and facility management, as well as organisational change management. Findings The study indicates that space management strategies may fail because of the lack of understanding of how organisational events and other contextually specific aspects correlate with the physical change initiative. Succeeding with the spatial strategy requires a strong focus on socio-material relationships and the employee meaning-making process during the spatial change process. Originality/value Contrary to the traditional and rational focus on functional space management strategies, the paper takes a socio-material approach suggesting that there is a need for more empirically based research into the employee meaning-making process and the role of human and organisational practices in the development of new workplace concepts. Focusing on how organisational members understand and “make use of” spatial environments may substantially improve organisations and building consultants’ abilities to strategically manage the physical change initiative and achieve the intended ends.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The article is devoted to the urgent problem of identifying potential possibilities of synergetic methodology for the study of socio-pedagogical activity as a special system that is transformed under the influence of unstable conditions of society. It is emphasized that the subject area of socio-pedagogical activity is currently being transformed, characterized by an increasing trend of spontaneous socialization of children, that its spatial and temporal characteristics are changing, as the space of children's problems is expanding, the time required for scientific understanding of problems and the search for solutions to them is decreasing. The appeal to the synergetic approach is due to the fact that it is focused on the analysis of system processes that are in a nonlinear, non-equilibrium state, in the "order – chaos - order" movement. The article uses the following concepts to describe the process of organization and self-organization of socio-pedagogical activity: "attractor" (an ordered process), "fluctuation" (the presence of potential opportunities in the process both to maintain the system and to destroy it), "bifurcation" (a chaotic state of the process). At the institutional level, the movement of socio-pedagogical activity through the stages of "order - chaos - order" is determined by the value orientations of its subjects. They are the center of attraction for specialists of helping professions and keep the system in a state of stable attractor. Violation of the value bases of socio-pedagogical activity disorganizes the system, leads it into a state of chaos (bifurcation). At the individual level of teacher–child interaction, a sense of stability (attractor) is formed if the practices used to solve the child's problems give a positive result. Otherwise, the teacher plunges into reflection, looking for ways of self-organization that contributes to solving problems.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Abstract This article illustrates two Finnish case studies: one about large carnivores and the other about the protection of the Saimaa ringed seal. These cases are analysed by using the concept of life-mode introduced by Thomas Højrup and rhythm analysis developed by Henry Lefebvre. The objective of the paper is to show how the connection between life-modes and spatial and temporal rhythms of humananimal interactions help to better understand the contradictions and conservation challenges of these species. The introduction of new practices, e.g. a new enterprise or conservation of an endangered species, creates arrhythmias to more traditional practices which can be very resistant to change. This resistance is because maintaining rhythms is also to uphold one’s life-modes and associated identities. Life-modes are expressed and regenerated by different practices, symbols and concepts in time and space

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis explores the relationship between culture and human-centred design in Botswana, a topic on which there is little previous research. The pinnacle of good product innovation is when it is grounded on sensitive cultural analysis of users' culture; however, it has been observed that designers have not yet been able to encode cultural phenomena to the same extent as cognitive and physical human factors. The study develops a theoretical framework of cultural analysis, comparing traditional with contemporary socio-cultural factors that can be applied to designing products. The content analysis method was used to extract and synthesise traditional and contemporary socio-cultural factors from Botswana's cultural sources. An experimental study was undertaken in Botswana to investigate how socio-cultural factors can be integrated in product design, and the participants' challenge was to transfer and apply these into product features that reflect Botswana's culture. This data was analysed using the qualitative method of textual and visual content analysis.
A culture-orientated design model has been proposed to assist designers to consciously integrate culture in their design practice. The framework demonstrates how to specify, analyse and integrate socio-cultural factors in the early stages of the design process by advancing local thought, content and solutions. It advances a new approach to design education, theory, research and practice. It emerged that culture can be used as a resource of information and a source of inspiration for product innovation that connects with users' traditions. The research findings show that culture-orientated products have meaningful content that reflects users' lifestyles as well as providing them with symbolic personal, social and cultural values, and that these aspects facilitate product acceptance.

"BUEN VIVIR ET VIVRE-ENSEMBLE : possitopies d'habitats alter-hégémoniques dans l'Anthropocène : Regards croisés entre des communautés guarani au Brésil et des habitats participatifs en France". Electronic Thesis or Diss., Université Grenoble Alpes, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024GRALH009.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Cette recherche prend source dans le contexte de l'Anthropocène, aujourd'hui fortement marqué par l'héritage d'un système colonial d'exploitation des territoires, et du constat de l'impact des modes de vie modernes sur le système Terre, mettant en risque son habitabilité pour l'ensemble des populations, humaines et autres qu'humaines. Le problème est abordé par l'habitat au sens large, qui, au-delà de l'habitation, inclut partie de l'espace territorial et des espèces qui le composent, permettant à une population spécifique de subvenir à ses besoins matériels et immatériels. Dans ce travail, nous explorons les possibilités de transformer nos modes de vie et d’habiter pour mettre en œuvre les nécessaires transitions sociales et écologiques et pour s'adapter aux changements climatiques, notamment en limitant les impacts de certains modes de vie sur le système Terre.Cette recherche se focalise sur les habitats alter-hégémoniques, qui se positionnent comme d'autres possibles face aux modes d'habiter induits par un système moderne capitaliste tendant à invisibiliser les aspects endogènes de cultures et cultures constructives locales. Pour cela, nous avons donc étudié deux types d'habitats alter-hégémoniques qui présentent des contextes socio-économiques et historiques différents, appartenant aux deux extrémités du système colonial, et induisant des questionnements quant aux revendications actuelles de décolonisation (culturelle, politique, économiques, épistémologiques) : l'habitat des indigènes Guarani au Brésil et les habitats participatifs en France.Plus spécifiquement, cette recherche vise à explorer comment la matérialisation du Buen Vivir et des propositions alternatives dans la production de l'habitat indiquent des pratiques inspiratrices pour s'adapter à l'évolution actuelle et future des écosystèmes qui puissent minimiser l'impact des modes de vie au niveau local et global et contribuer ainsi à l'habitabilité du système Terre.Nous nous appuyons sur la compréhension du Buen Vivir, philosophie de peuples indigènes des Andes, puis sur celle du Nhanderekó, le Buen Vivir des Guarani du Brésil. Dans les habitats guarani, les matérialisation socio-spatiales du Nhanderekó sont identifiées, que ce soit dans l'architecture, l'occupation des territoires ou les systèmes de gouvernance déclinés à différentes échelles. Dans les habitats participatifs en France, nous nous basons sur l'identification de leurs valeurs et modes de gouvernance, pour comprendre comment leurs organisations spatiales contribuent à ces dynamiques qui cherchent également à tisser du lien avec leurs territoires.Nous cherchons à montrer comment, d'un point de vue élargi, ces deux habitats alter hégémoniques présentent des convergences et complémentarités constituant des pistes de réflexion pour penser des habitats propices à des modes de vie en adéquation avec le système Terre. Nous relevons notamment les aspects de collectif et de mutualisation en interne, l'activation des réseaux en externe, l'intergénérationnel et l'éducation, la résilience constructive et alimentaire, la mise en commun des savoir et savoir-faire, entre autres. La prise en compte de ces aspects représente une diversité de pistes à suivre pour envisager de mettre en place de manière effective de nouvelles pratiques endogènes de conception, de production, d'usage de l'habitat vers un mieux vivre ensemble, viabilisé par des gouvernances dynamiques, voire des cosmopolitiques spécifiques à chaque contexteThis research is taking place in the context of the Anthropocene, which is today strongly marked by the legacy of a colonial system of territorial exploitation, and by the impact of modern lifestyles on the Earth system, putting its habitability at risk for all populations, both human and non-human. The problem is tackled through habitat in the broadest sense, which, beyond habitation, includes part of the territorial space and the species that make it up, enabling a specific population to meet its material and immaterial needs. In this work, we are exploring the possibilities of transforming our ways of living and inhabiting in order to implement the necessary social and ecological transitions and to adapt to climate change, in particular by limiting the impact of certain lifestyles on the Earth system.This research focuses on alter-hegemonic habitats, which are positioned as possible alternatives to the ways of living induced by a modern capitalist system that tends to invisibilise the endogenous aspects of local cultures and building cultures. To this end, we have studied two types of alter-hegemonic habitat with different socio-economic and historical contexts, belonging to both ends of the colonial system, and raising questions about current demands for decolonisation (cultural, political, economic and epistemological): the habitat of the Guarani indigenous people in Brazil and participatory habitats in France.More specifically, this research aims to explore how the materialisation of Buen Vivir and alternative proposals in habitat production point to inspirational practices for adapting to the current and future evolution of ecosystems that can minimise the impact of lifestyles at local and global level and thus contribute to the habitability of the Earth system.Our approach is based on an understanding of Buen Vivir, the philosophy of the indigenous peoples of the Andes, and Nhanderekó, the Buen Vivir of the Guarani people of Brazil. In the Guarani habitats, the socio-spatial materialisations of the Nhanderekó are identified, whether in the architecture, the occupation of territories or the systems of governance at different scales. In the case of participatory housing in France, we are basing ourselves on the identification of their values and modes of governance, in order to understand how their spatial organisations contribute to these dynamics, which also seek to forge links with their territories.Our aim is to show how, from a broader perspective, these two alter-hegemonic habitats have convergences and complementarities that provide food for thought for designing habitats conducive to lifestyles in tune with the Earth system. In particular, we note the aspects of collective and mutualisation internally, the activation of networks externally, intergenerational and educational aspects, constructive and food resilience, and the pooling of knowledge and know-how, among others. Taking these aspects into account represents a diversity of avenues to follow if we are to envisage effectively implementing new endogenous practices in the design, production and use of housing, with a view to better living together, supported by dynamic governance and even cosmopolitics specific to each context

Serafimovski, Nikola. "Extension and practical evaluation of the spatial modulation concept". Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/7597.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The spatial modulation (SM) concept combines, in a novel fashion, digital modulation and multiple antenna transmission for low complexity and spectrally efficient data transmission. The idea considers the transmit antenna array as a spatial constellation diagram with the transmit antennas as the constellation points. To this extent, SM maps a sequence of bits onto a signal constellation point and onto a spatial constellation point. The information is conveyed by detecting the transmitting antenna (the spatial constellation point) in addition to the signal constellation point. In this manner, inter-channel interference is avoided entirely since transmission is restricted to a single antenna at any transmission instance. However, encoding binary information in the spatial domain means that the number of transmit antennas must be a power of two. To address this constraint, fractional bit encoded spatial modulation (FBE—SM) is proposed. FBE–SMuses the theory of modulus conversion to facilitate fractional bit rates over time. In particular, it allows each transmitter to use an arbitrary number of transmit antennas. Furthermore, the application of SM in a multi-user, interference limited scenario has never been considered. To this extent, the average bit error rate (ABER) of SM is characterised in the interference limited scenario. The ABER performance is first analysed for the interference-unaware detector. An interference-aware detector is then proposed and compared with the cost and complexity equivalent detector for a single–input multiple–output (SIMO) system. The application of SM with an interference-aware detector results in coding gains for the system. Another area of interest involves using SM for relaying systems. The aptitude of SM to replace or supplement traditional relaying networks is analysed and its performance is compared with present solutions. The application of SM to a fixed relaying system, termed dual-hop spatial modulation (Dh-SM), is shown to have an advantage in terms of the source to destination ABER when compared to the classical decode and forward (DF) relaying scheme. In addition, the application of SM to a relaying system employing distributed relaying nodes is considered and its performance relative to Dh-SM is presented. While significant theoretical work has been done in analysing the performance of SM, the implementation of SM in a practical system has never been shown. In this thesis, the performance evaluation of SM in a practical testbed scenario is presented for the first time. To this extent, the empirical results validate the theoretical work presented in the literature.

Procter, Lisa. "Children, schooling and emotion : the role of emotion in children's socio-spatial practices at school". Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2014. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/6224/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This doctoral thesis documents a collaborative ethnographic study in a junior school setting applying the Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) curriculum - ‘an explicit, structured, whole-curriculum framework and resource for teaching social, emotional and behavioural skills to all pupils’ (DfES 2005, pg. 5). Children’s emotional skills in particular are positioned as a remedy for the mental health problems perceived to be facing contemporary society (Seligman 2005). However, Gillies (2011) has shown how such understandings of emotion in education categorise particular emotions as right or wrong. This, she suggests, works to pathologise the emotional lives of children (Gillies 2011). In response, Kenway and Youdall (2011) call for a move towards a ‘socio-cultural-spatial analysis of emotion ... [that] ... allows us to engage with emotion in new ways’ (pg. 132). Like Kenway and Youdell (2011) I have found that few educational studies make links between space. place and emotionality, and particularly from children’s perspectives. The thesis develops a socio-spatial lens in order to foreground a definition of emotion as the meanings that people make of affective experiences and productions in relation to particular contexts. In this thesis I am interested in children’s meaning-making and how this is influenced by the school setting. The thesis is divided in two intersecting volumes. Volume A documents how I have developed a methodology for researching emotion from children’s perspectives and Volume B presents a series of vignettes that capture children’s meaning-making. The methodological approach was foregrounded by a concept of emplacement (Pink 2009), which considers place (which is considered to be emotionally textured) as dynamic and socially produced. This perspective attends to the ways that children are both shaped by and shape the emotional landscapes of schooling. In line with this theoretical lens I co-developed arts-orientated methodologies with a group of nine children (aged 9 and 10) to examine the social and spatial dimensions of emotion, such as den-building, film-making and scrapbooks. To reflect the way that the research design shapes research findings, the thesis is designed in a way that supports the reader to make choices about how they move between these two volumes. In doing so I also intend for the reader to construct their own understandings as they navigate the thesis, in order to reflect the subjective and unfolding nature of the research process. The design of the thesis also reflects the complexities of capturing the intersectional nature of the material and immaterial in children’s constructions of emotion, it shows how different moments in children’s school lives are intertwined in the social production of emotional landscapes. In essence this doctoral study aims to show how a socio-spatial analysis of emotion enables alternative (by this I mean moving away from a ‘skills’ orientated perspective) and productive ways of thinking about emotion to enter into educational settings and educational research.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The occupation of public squares during the Arab Spring in 2011 across the Middle East and North Africa have revealed new layers of complex practices of liberation used to counter the strategies of the regime’s security apparatus. There emerged a need to critically detect and analyse the spatial practices of the liberated spaces as forms of sustained resistance that facilitated political gains. During the 18 days of the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, public space, long neglected, again became a political domain that witnessed unusual spatial practices and a contested terrain for society, in sum, a space for protest and resistance for the entire population of Cairo. This research shall focus on Tahrir Square in Cairo as ‘space of politics’ during the eighteen days long Egyptian Revolution, i.e., from Jan 25 till Feb 11 2011. The aim of the research is to investigate how socio-spatial practices transformed public space from being a congested traffic hub into an active and animated space for resistance that was equally accessible to different factions, social strata, media outlets, and urban social groupings, as determined by popular cultures and social responsibilities. It advances our knowledge on the way social movements manipulate, manage and occupy vast urban spaces with great flexibility and autonomous spatial tactics. Tahrir Square was reproduced, in a process of “space adaptation,”1 to accommodate forms of social organization and administration. This adaptation of space embedded spatial patterns of activities and practices from the earliest days, all of which shall be described and classified by the research through a frame structure.
This research investigates the physical appearance of democratic performance in public space through acts of resistance over a delineated space from three-years of socio-spatial fieldwork and spatio-political research. The thesis employs an inter-disciplinary case study methodology comprising of two phases – descriptive explanatory and exploratory – to investigate the change in socio-spatial practices and dynamics of urban space. In this research, an interactive representation of narratives will be presented in order to address the complexity of the problem, i.e., the integration of architectural, social, political, historical, and spatial materials to construct a multi-layered analysis and significant account. Diverse research methods are utilized, such as: the collection of historical background data of space, contemporary reports, unstructured interviews with 50 involved actors, documented narratives, and direct observations. Through undertaking analytical surveys and decoding of information of the events, a systematic classification of socio-spatial patterns and distribution of activities of daily intervals through the five main themes was generated. This research presents a matrix of analytical maps tracing the five main themes: hospitalization and emergency support, living and life needs supplies, media and news display, prayers and ritual practices, and art and freedom of expression. This matrix is a tool with which to display conflict over space, and explicitly, how Tahrir Square was re-conceptualized. In doing so, this thesis deploys innovative ways to highlight social practices that spatially occupied a significant part of downtown Cairo and how changes occurred over the time. Studying the evidence of each theme separately, the dynamics and changing location of activities and rational processes of management can be systematically analyzed and the complexity of the performative space understood. The physical space, hence, became a socio-spatial sphere that is adjustable, flexible domain of human praxis rather than a rigid physical container of human actors.
Thus, this approach proposes a new perspective for looking at the recent uprisings and revolts in public squares through tracing their dynamics and socio-spatial practices. This can be useful in understanding similar cases of uprisings and suggests the value of further research into the process of re-conceptualization of public space. The research presented here, and it is supporting methodology, developed as a way to capture the values and capacities that are in play during such particular ‘spatial of revolt’. The thesis is a valuable addition to literature on the understanding of qualities of, human interaction with urban spaces, and their political role in the contemporary city. It has potential application for activists, public space occupiers, planners, architects, anthropologists, theorists and dictators or governments seeking to control urban unrest.

O presente trabalho propõe a reflexão sobre as práticas socioespaciais enquanto manifestações espaciais e sociais de praticantes, considerando a interação entre os mesmos e entre eles e o espaço urbano. Por meio da observação de dois objetos empíricos distintos o Baixo Augusta - São Paulo/Brasil e a Alameda de Hércules Sevilha/Espanha, enquanto espaços urbanos em transformação e manchas de ócio e lazer , são feitas, inicialmente, reflexões cruzadas teóricas e análises da conformação urbana e histórica de cada um. Em seguida, analisam-se suas atuais configurações a partir das práticas socioespaciais observadas. Para tanto, emprega-se uma abordagem entre escalas e um método experimental, a fim de construir um olhar que busque tornar visíveis aspectos e processos que não se refiram somente a contextos urbanos particulares, mas que também permitam a abordagem de aspectos da cidade contemporânea de modo amplo. Como resultado destas análises, foram elaboradas cartografias socioespaciais capazes de revelar as urbanidades de cada um deles, permitindo-se leituras individuais e conjuntas.The present work proposes the reflection on socio-spatial practices as spatial and social manifestations of practitioners, considering the interaction between them and between them and the urban space. By observing two distinct empirical objects - the Baixo Augusta - São Paulo / Brazil and the Alameda de Hércules - Seville / Spain, as urban spaces in transformation and spots of leisure and leisure - are initially made , theoretical cross-reflections and analysis of the urban and historical conformation of each one. Then, their current configurations are analyzed based on the observed socio-spatial practices. In order to do so, an approach between scales and an experimental method is employed in order to construct a look that seeks to make visible aspects and processes that do not refer only to particular urban contexts, but that also allow the approach of aspects of the contemporary city of mode. As a result of these analyzes, socio-spatial cartographies capable of revealing the urbanities of each of them were developed, allowing individual and joint readings.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Examining emerging themes from the data, the thesis discusses personal and organisational journeys into blind golf. The impact of less tangible barriers, particularly disabling attitudes, on the player’s experiences of access to, and sense of inclusion in, golf are explored. I argue that barriers are embedded in the ‘everyday’ encounters in the golfing landscape between blind and sighted people. Although the golfers have accessed their chosen sport, this participation remains an unequal and disabling experience. The thesis moves from considerations of the golfers’ relationships with (sighted) others predominantly out with blind golf, to the inter-personal relationships between players (blind golfer) and their guide (sighted person). The need for a guide raises key issues connected to disability and feminist debates surrounding the social relations of help. I focus on the way in which help is given and experienced from the perspectives of the player. The thesis then considers the processes through which identities as ‘blind golfers’ take shape within the spaces of blind golf. It demonstrates how the golfers actively mediate their own identities and relationships in blind golf. Identifying, or being identified, as a ‘blind golfer’ is not intrinsically negative yet can be fraught with contradictions. I therefore argue for a more nuanced understanding of blind identities. In conclusion, the thesis suggests that examining subjective experiences of disability allows perspectives on disability to shift from socio-spatial structures to socio-spatial practices. This approach greatly enriches discussion of processes of inclusion and exclusion in relation to disability.

We designed an experiment to evaluate change in students' spatial skills as a result of specific interventions. Our test subjects included high school students in earth science classes, college level non-science majors enrolled in large enrollment introductory geoscience courses and introductory level geoscience students. All students completed spatial tests to measure their ability to mentally rotate three-dimensional objects and to construct a three-dimensional object from a two-dimensional representation. Results show a steady improvement in spatial skills for all groups. They also indicate that students choosing science majors typically have much higher spatial skills as they enter college. Specific interventions to improve spatial skills included having a subgroup of the non-science majors and high school students complete a suite of Geographic Information System (GIS) activities. The intervention at the high school level was more extensive and resulted in significant improvements in both categories of spatial ability. At the college level, the non-science majors that received the intervention showed no significant difference from those that did not, probably because the time spent on the intervention was too short. The geoscience majors had nearly three times the improvement of non-science majors in both categories of spatial ability attributed to hands-on weekly laboratory experiences. These results reveal a wide range of abilities among all groups of students, and suggest that we evaluate teaching strategies in all courses to ensure that students can interpret and understand the visual imagery used in lectures.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In its constructive and speculative nature, design has the critical potential to reshape prevalent socio-material realities. At the same time, design is inevitably normative, if not often violent, as it stabilises the past, normalises the present, and precludes just and sustainable futures. The contributions rethink concepts of critique that influence the field of design, question inherent blind spots of the discipline, and expand understandings of what critical design practices could be. With contributions from design theory, practice and education, art theory, philosophy, and informatics, »Critical by Design?« aims to question and unpack the ambivalent tensions between design and critique.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The monograph traces the history of the development of German neoliberal economic thought from the origins of the Freiburg School in the 1930s to the first results of the practical implementation of the concept of a social market economy in West Germany in the late 1940s-early 1960s. The author demonstrates the broad historical context of the development of German ideas about the theory and practice of the policy of order (Ordnungstheorie und Ordnungspolitik), shows the features of the formation and spread of the scientific and intellectual economic tradition in Germany, as well as beyond its borders, starting with the birth of the German historical school and the perception of its heritage by Russian socio-economic thought in the second half of the XIX — early XX century and ending with the practical implementation of the concept of order of the Freiburg school and the correlation of its ideological and spiritual and moral foundations with the social teaching of Catholicism and liberalism of Friedrich von Hayek. Special attention is paid to some controversial issues of the formation of the theory of ordoliberalism during the period of national socialism and the problems of the social market economy in modern Germany.
The book is intended to fill the shortage of specialized scientific literature on relevant issues and to acquaint the Russian reader, primarily students, teachers and researchers, with the variety of ideological and scientific-theoretical foundations of the socio-economic system of the post-war Germany.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
From user-generated images of streets to professional architectural renderings, and from digital maps and drone footages to representations of invisible digital ecologies, this collection of essays analyses the emergent practices of visualizing the street. Today, advancements in digital technologies of the image have given rise to the production and dissemination of imagery of streets and urban realities in multiple forms. The ubiquitous presence of digital visualizations has in turn created new forms of urban practice and modes of spatial encounter. Everyone who carries a smartphone not only plays an increasingly significant role in the production, editing and circulation of images of the street, but also relies on those images to experience urban worlds and to navigate in them. Such entangled forms of image-making and image-sharing have constructed new imaginaries of the street and have had a significant impact on the ways in which contemporary and future streets are understood, imagined, documented, navigated, mediated and visualized. Visualizing the Street investigates the social and cultural significance of these new developments at the intersection of visual culture and urban space. The interdisciplinary essays provide new concepts, theories and research methods that combine close analyses of street images and imaginaries with the study of the practices of their production and circulation. The book covers a wide range of visible and invisible geographies — From Hong Kong’s streets to Rio’s favelas, from Sydney’s suburbs to London’s street markets, and from Damascus’ war-torn streets to Istanbul’s sidewalks — and engages with multiple ways in which visualizations of the street function to document street protests and urban change, to build imaginaries of urban communities and alternate worlds, and to help navigate streetscapes.

The monograph presents the psychological theory and organization of personalized learning in general education schools. The concept of integrative subjectivity of a person as a form of reflexive and areflexive self-existence is considered as the psychological basis of personalized learning. The author characterizes the personality and the social individual in the light of the humanitarian Christian paradigm: reveals the phenomenology of integrative subjectivity, its structural organization, levels and forms of development of the individual and the social individual. From the standpoint of the Christian psychology of education, the general psychological and socio-psychological aspects of personalized learning are revealed, the psychological typification of students and teachers is justified, the extraordinary pedagogical interaction as a psychological mechanism of personalized learning is presented, the experimental construction of psychological types of primary school students based on the perception of educational material, as well as the typological features of teachers. Technologies of personalized learning are presented. The monograph reflects the results of many years of theoretical and experimental research of the author. It is of interest to seminarians, students, postgraduates of Orthodox educational institutions, students of Higher theological courses, faculties of advanced training and retraining, as well as philosophers, psychologists, teachers, social workers, and specialists in the field of education.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This chapter discusses a widespread but underexplored phenomenon in Brazilian cities: the growing presence of walls and other security infrastructures in low-income, peripheral neighborhoods. This practice can often take the form of bounded and internally regulated regimes of residential organization at a hyper-local scale, associated with the emic term condomínio (condominium). The authors propose the concept of “walling” to theorize the practices of socio-material assembly through which peripheral condominiums emerge, driven by the efforts of urban subjects to reconstruct a sense of well-being within environments experienced as precarious and insecure. While walling can significantly reshape socio-spatial relationships and everyday flows of bodies, the authors argue that broader social conditions and relationships in peripheries tend to promote forms of spatial and temporal porosity that weaken or even undermine these regimes of self-segregation. The chapter explores varying dynamics of peripheral condominiums through the presentation of contrasting case studies from three different Brazilian cities: a recently completed Minha Casa Minha Vida (My House My Life) public housing project in Porto Alegre; a partially walled and symbolically partitioned favela in Rio de Janeiro; and an occupied and subsequently formalized public housing project in São Paulo.

AbstractThe growing masses of digital traces generated by the datafication process make the algorithms that manage them increasingly central to contemporary society.There is widespread agreement in considering traces and algorithms as complex objects that intertwine social and material practices with their own cultural, historical, and institutional nature (Halford et al., 2010).Accordingly, given this strong intertwining between the social world and the digital world that is formed by material and technological objects, it becomes possible to consider the algorithms and traces as socio-digital objects. For this reason, this article aims to identify the features that allow us to frame them as socio-digital objects starting from concepts borrowed from the actor-network theory (Latour and Woolgar 1879). In particular, we will first discuss opacity, authority and autonomy concepts and then see how those features emerge in digital geographical traces.

Abstract This chapter offers an overview of ecotourism in forest-protected areas in Vietnam from theoretical concepts and historical evolution of forest conservation to the current structure of governance and management of forest resources and the economic and socio-cultural perspectives of forest resources ecotourism and ecotourists. Differentiated from conventional approaches using cases or empirical research focus on particular sites, the current study systematically analyses national policies and practices of ecotourism in national parks and protected areas (PAs). The review synthesizes existing studies published on various channels in and outside the country and numerous government reports and research conducted by NGOs on ecotourism, PAs and forest conservation. The analysis pertinent in this chapter, however, excludes marine-based ecotourism, which is covered in a separate chapter.

AbstractThis chapter explores possible connections among discourse analysis, materiality and biographical research in the context of subjectivation. The extant methodological/epistemological concepts linking the Foucauldian idea of discourse with biographical research do not provide clear openings for the incorporation of materiality, specifically those in digital form. This chapter proposes an adapted, modified approach to the analysis of material-discursive practices to the end of investigating the materiality and mediality of relationally understood processes of Bildung. In so doing, it identifies a need for a post-anthropocentric understanding of the biographical that focuses on the variety of socio-medial relational reconfigurations.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
AbstractA great deal of the contemporary discourse around circularity revolves around waste—the elimination of waste (and wastelands) through recycling, renewing and reuse (3Rs). In line with industrial ecological thinking, the discourse often focuses on resource efficiency and the shift toward renewables. The reconstitution of numerous previous ecologies is at most a byproduct of the deliberate design of today’s cyclic systems. Individual projects are often heralded for their innovative aspects (both high- and low-tech) and the concept has become popularly embraced in much of the Western world. Nevertheless, contemporary spatial circularity practices appear often to be detached from their particular socio-cultural and landscape ecologies. There is an emphasis on performative aspects and far too often a series of normative tools create cookie-cutter solutions that disregard locational assets—spatial as well as socio-cultural. The re-prefix is evident for developed economies and geographies, but not as obvious in the context of rapidly transforming and newly urbanizing territories. At the same time, the notion of circularity has been deeply embedded in indigenous, pre-modern and non-Western worldviews and strongly mirrored in historic constellations of urban, rural and territorial development. This contribution focuses on two contexts, Flanders in Belgium and the rural highlands, the Mekong Delta and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, which reveal that in spite of the near-universal prevalence of the Western development paradigm, there are fundamentally different notions of circularity in history and regarding present-day urbanization. Historically, in both contexts, the city and its larger territory formed a social, economic and ecological unity. There was a focus is on the interdependent development of notions of circularity in the ever-evolving relations of landscape, infrastructure and urbanization. In the development of contemporary circularity, there are clear insights that can be drawn from the deep understandings of historic interdependencies and the particular mechanisms and typologies utilized. The research questions addressed are in line with territorial ecology’s call to incorporate socio-cultural and spatial dimensions when trying to understand how territorial metabolisms function (Barles, Revue D’économie Régionale and Urbaine:819–836, 2017). They are as follows: how can case studies from two seemingly disparate regions in the world inform the present-day wave of homogenized research on circularity? How can specific socio-cultural contexts, through their historical trajectories, nuance the discourse and even give insights with regard to broadened and contextualized understandings of circularity? The case studies firstly focus on past site-specific cyclic interplays between landscape, infrastructure and urbanization and their gradual dissolution into linearity. Secondly, the case studies explicitly focus on multi-year design research projects by OSA (Research Urbanism and Architecture, KU Leuven), which underscore new relations of landscape, infrastructure and urbanization and emphasize the resourcefulness of the territory itself. The design research has been elaborated in collaboration with relevant stakeholders and experts and at the request of governmental agencies.

AbstractThe health and climate crisis are calling for an urgent re-evaluation of concepts such as resilience and sustainability and how we measure and implement them, sifting the debate towards the role urban design and planning play in driving urban transitions. Recent studies have been introduced to investigate the dynamics of the pandemic in urban areas and the ample literature on tools and methods for measuring vulnerabilities. The paper calls for a need to re-scale urban planning down to a human level by bridging space syntax attributes with measures of resilience. It introduces a data and evidence-based approach framework for driving urban transitions utilizing risk assessment (National Risk Index) and a vulnerability measuring index (City Resilience Index) to quantify spatial attributes which foster sustainable practices. A scenario testing method is proposed to make urban design more consistent with the strategic mission of urban planning driving resilience and transition.

AbstractThis chapter provides an overview of the historical context and contemporary perspectives on urbanization within Europe, emphasizing the sustainability challenges associated with land-use changes. A conceptual framework is presented which introduces key concepts and illustrates the input (drivers), production (decision-making), and outcomes (land conversion and urban form) of urbanization. The driving forces include exogenous factors, such as demographic shifts and economic changes, and endogenous factors, such as infrastructure development, finances, and spatial planning. Production consists of land development practices. Outcomes are described by the amount of urbanization as well as its form (compact, polycentric, and diffuse). The chapter closes with a reflection on sustainability.

The community of Idlewild, located in Yates Township, Michigan, United States, possesses a significant history as the largest historic African American resort community created during the Jim Crow Era. Established in 1912, it thrived for more than fifty years but declined in 1964, with the passing of the Civil Rights Act. Listed in the Green Book, the historical impor¬tance of Idlewild was recognized at the time as a safe space for African Americans to vacation during the segregation era. At a time when African Americans were systematically pushed to the margins of society, Idlewild was viewed as a place where the luminaries of the black community could safely gather and discuss issues of vital collective interest. With a history of vacillation, today, Idlewild is experiencing a measured resur¬gence in its re-population. and has begun to revitalize, with a new influx of full-time residents. These citizens are moving to Idlewild looking for work-life balance in a rural context as a result of societal factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matters Movement and most importantly, seeking residency in a historically safe African American community. Notably, this incoming population resides within infrastruc¬ture that was originally designated for seasonal residents, resulting in a new set of needs for community sustainment. The community’s current needs are twofold: first, significant changes to the system that support full-time residents and second, progress that will respect and revive the historical origins of Idlewild. As an African American community discrim¬inatory infrastructure impedes the ability of the community to thrive, and prevents the support required for a robust quality of life. Local systemic change is required, beginning primarily at the township level. Significant concerns include rural tourism, worker retention, cooperative economics, and local living, among other considerations. Recognizing the need to rectify these burgeoning issues, the Yates Township Board approved the pursuit of development of a Strategic Plan. Overarching Outcomes of the approved Strategic Plan were twofold: first, the township grows strate¬gically with prosperity impacting the township’s year-round residents and tourism, and second, the township celebrates and promotes Idlewild as a nationally historic African American cultural community. This paper will focus on the process and introduce the projects of the Ferris State University fourth-year Small Town Studio as they worked with stakeholders in the Idlewild community and aligned their designs with the needs of the client and the newly Overarching Outcomes implemented in the Strategic Plan. This studio is designed to address challenges that archi¬tects face in the field in its social and environmental context. Students research and analyze existing conditions and client needs, define project requirements, and develop macro-level schematic solutions based on input and feedback of a client community. Emphasis is placed on the analysis, process, and synthesis of architectural problems and their solutions.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This paper proposes using different concepts for guiding institutional practices in times of digitally changing professional teaching work environments. This paper draws upon our previous research and offers a first step of a framework, to understand and explore the new digital changes for professional teaching and learning practice, while engaging in online and virtual work and learning environments. Thereby focusing on the notion of a professional and the social implications of digital work technologies that are used for teaching and learning. The theoretical paper is structured around concepts we identified in our previous work and its potential of adopting them in the context of digital communities of professional practices. Addressing these objectives can hopefully help us to understand, what the effects of digital professional teaching work environments on teaching practice and for teacher’s professional responsibility are, their social effects in everyday teacher work and their practice related knowledge? What capabilities, features or skills are enabling teachers to do so and what guidelines can help them to cope with the current changes? And ultimately, how workplaces, schools and universities can benefit from these ideas? We focus on both human social factors and digital material factors as being inherent to professional teaching and learning practice. We hereby build upon concepts derived from socio-cultural and socio-material theories which are currently not commonly used in the same context, such as: communities of practice which is popular in socio-cultural learning theories whereby the understanding of human development relies on the social world; and extending the community of practice with materiality whereby human development also involves the material world. We contribute with this paper by suggesting that our framework, drawing on concepts of two different but related learning theories is useful for further research, such as on the institutional and individual response to digital change in teaching and learning practice. We believe that our theoretical informed conceptual approach enables to inform an increased professionality of teaching professionals in times of digital work change, activates thinking about different concepts, a change of mindset or at least provide the guidelines for an improved understanding among those involved in teaching practice.

This paper attempts to provide a model for meaning by reading the overlay as potential in a banal – if not bizarre – contemporary project: a Chinese theme park in Orlando Florida. Proposed to prospective visitors as “Authentic” it is in fact an extraordinary collision of temporally and culturally distant spatial concepts and building practices. This paper uses an experimental ‘witnessing7 of the park to lay out a series of spacio-conceptual models for travel as power. These range from looking at the theme park as a Chinese propaganda tool, through Bachelard’s concepts of miniaturization and collection, empirical (Chinese) versus theoretical (American) standards for life safety, spatial strategies of 1 lth century Dream Journey Scrolls, and Feng Shui (the art of Placement) The changing nature of architectural practice instigates a movement from building representations of singular architectural ideas to the constructions of more complex ‘programmatic fields.’ We need neither despise nor formally caricature the polyglot programmatic shifts and collisions of our time. This paper takes a hopeful stance, maintaining that the overlay of resonant paradigms provides an opportunity not realized, perhaps, in the existing construction.

Due to the negative effects of spatial development, the current social and environmental conditions require unified concepts of solutions aimed at reducing disparities, poverty and increasing various forms of justice. Sustainable development, as the predominant environmental discourse of modern times, has been facing the problem of implementing fundamental guidelines in practice since its establishment in the mid-1980s. The balance of socio-economic, economic and especially environmental indicators, which is still perceived as an unrealizable utopia of modern society due to the inconsistent conception of the concept and action from the position of power, influence of capital and interests of "strong" countries, through narrow economic and political interests. In the prevailing, neoliberal global order, it represents an increase in the influence of partial interests (capital, influential countries, elites) on decision-making (including individual economic and political decisions of governments), departure from original, otherwise good intentions and impulses, changes in social behavior. There are several reasons for the mentioned stagnation and unsuccessful activation of changes in space, and especially global inactivity. The fundamental problem is the lack of political justice, which is a prerequisite for ensuring all other justice (environmental, ecological or social), which leads to reducing equality and differences in society and limiting and ensuring the rights and duties of the individual or the interests of society as a whole.

This article reflects on characters, interactions and conflicts between multiple practices of spatial production in the foothills of the Ecuadorian Amazon, making operational some concepts elaborated within 'Decolonial Thought', particularly the concept of 'colonial difference'. The case study investigated is the Tena Canton, Napo province, a territory marked by socioeconomic and environmental inequalities and even broader political divergences. The hypothesis supported here is that, by making visible the forms and logics of the relationship between the different social groups that are established from the bodies-knowledge, it is possible to imagine territorial planning strategies in search of new spaces, economies and styles of settlement. Keywords: Amazon decolonial urbanism, Relational urbanism, Chakra kichwa El presente artículo reflexiona sobre personajes, interacciones y conflictos entre múltiples prácticas de producción espacial en el piedemonte de la Amazonia ecuatoriana, haciendo operativo algunos conceptos elaborados dentro del ‘Pensamiento descolonial’, en particular el concepto de ‘diferencia colonial’. El caso de estudio investigado es el cantón Tena, provincia del Napo, un territorio marcado por desigualdades socioeconómicas, medioambientales y divergencias políticas aún más amplias. La hipótesis aquí́ apoyada es que, visibilizando las formas y las lógicas de la relación entre los diferentes grupos sociales que se establecen desde los cuerpos-saberes es posible imaginar estrategias de planificación territorial en busca de nuevos espacios, economías y estilos de asentamiento.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The focus on social responsibility is even more pronounced given that competitiveness in the private sector can be surpassed by responsible business policies towards both the environment and the community. All institutions from public sector should act in the interest of the communities they represent, promoting at the same time the benefits of the “social responsibility” concept. Including this concept within the public sector creates an added value, in terms of both the morality of the decisions (taken by the legal representatives of the communities) and this kind of behaviour’s promotion by the organizations working for the public sector or by the companies which represent the private sector. Since ancient times, moral judgements were concepts debated by both psychology experts and within the church, however, at present, this area has been expanded so that major companies are building their development strategy by placing customer satisfaction as the central element; and the public sector has the same target: solving citizen’s needs. Making ethical decisions, by taking into consideration communities’ benefits, is a goal both public and private sectors are trying to achieve in their approach of carrying out their mission: act for the good of the community by including social measures and environmental protection in the foundation of their decisions. Competition between community initiatives and socio-environmental projects where companies get involved is getting tighter and tighter in a context where business practices are more and more visible.

"Art-Neuroscience: poetic-artistic investigations on the impacts of Hostile Architecture on the homeostasis of users in the central region of the Sao Paulo city, in the context of COVID-19 pandemic". In LINK 2021. Tuwhera Open Access, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.24135/link2021.v2i1.132.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This research is based on the theoretical and poetic-artistic production on the theme "Hostile Architecture", which comprises urban elements and practices that restrict the permanence of individuals in public space, such as metal spikes on walls or boulders under viaducts. The reason why these elements are placed in the public space is related to security and they serve to inhibit undesirable social behavior, although they promote fear and, as consequence, leave abandoned spaces in the city which become susceptible to violence. It mainly affects the homeless population, but also affects delivery men, people with low mobility, families with children, among others urban dynamics. By limiting urban shelter, these hostile urban elements and practices act as aggressive stimuli, which disturb the balance of the human organism and are intensified with the socio-economic aggravations intensely triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. The initial focus of this study is the central region of Sao Paulo (the biggest city in Brazil and the most affected by the pandemic, with the highest number of cases and deaths) and a critical bias of such practices is proposed, especially regarding its impacts on the biological homeostasis of users in this region. Therefore, the research is based on cooperation between the fields of Architecture and Cognitive and Behavioral Neurosciences, especially in the concept of Homeodynamic Environments and Products. The research methodology comprises a transdisciplinary approach and involves four main stages of development: [a] literature review under the Hostile Architecture theme; [b] theoretical articulation between the proposed theme and the concepts of Cognitive and Behavioral Neurosciences, especially from the perspective of biological homeostasis concept; [c] field research aimed at the observation, recording, analysis and interpretation of users behavior in face of the stimuli caused by hostile urban elements/practices, as well as the application of unstructured interviews with the referred public, to find out how such elements affect their physical and mental states during the pandemic context. The material resulting from these analyzes is the basis for the concept and development of the artworks produced by the artist-author; and [d] conception and development of a physical-digital poetic-artistic proposal. The poetic-artistic proposal is produced from two articulated approaches: the first is a digital platform for collective mapping of hostile architecture elements in Brazil territory as well as for discussion and scientific dissemination about the hostile architecture theme, through texts and posts on social networks. In this way, all collected material is organized in an interactive map with photos and their locations. The platform broadens critical perspectives and encourages reflections about the hostile architecture through drift and photographic action. The second one comprises the author-artist's poetic practice, elaborated as drawings, collages, three-dimensional objects and digital art. It is based on her immersion in each research development stage mentioned above, which aims to present and discuss new possibilities of presence and urban experience in pandemic and post-pandemic contexts.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Originated from New Village Ideal in Japan, New Village was introduced to China in the early 1920s and became a byword for social reform program. Many residential designs or projects whose name includes the term “Village” or “New Village” had been completed in China since that time. This paper uses the Textual Criticism method to sort out the introduction and translation of New Village Ideal theory in China, and to compare the physical space, life organization and concepts of the New Village practices in ROC with in early PRC of Tianjin. It is found that the term “New Village” continued to be used across several historical periods, showing very similar spatial images. But the construction and usage of New Village and the meaning of collective life changed somewhat under different political positions and social circumstances: New Village gradually became an urban collective residential area which only bore the living function since it was introduced into modern China. The goal of its practice changed from building an equal autonomy to building a new field of power operation, a new discourse of social improvement and a new way for profit-seeking capital. With the change of state regime, the construction had entered a climax stage. New Village then became the symbol of the rising political and social status of the working class, and the link between the change of urban nature and spatial development. Socialism collective life and the temporal and spatial separation or combination between production and live constructed the collective conscience and identity of residents. The above findings highlight the independence of architecture history from general history, help to examine the complexity of China’s localization New Village practice and the uniqueness of Tianjin’s urban history, and provide new ideas for the study of China’s modern urban housing development from the perspective of changes in daily life organization.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Our study’s main object is travel anthropology, the branch of science that studies the history and nature of man, socio-cultural space, social relations, and structures by gathering information during short and long journeys. The publication aims to research the theoretical foundations and genesis of travel anthropology, outline its fundamental principles, and highlight interaction with related sciences. The article’s defining objectives are the analysis of the synthesis of fundamental research approaches in travel anthropology and their implementation in journalism. When we analyze what methods are used by modern authors, also called «cultural observers», we can return to the localization strategy, namely the centering of the culture around a particular place, village, or another spatial object. It is about the participants-observers and how the workplace is limited in space and time and the broader concept of fieldwork. Some disciplinary practices are confused with today’s complex, interactive cultural conjunctures, leading us to think of a laboratory of controlled observations. Indeed, disciplinary approaches have changed since Malinowski’s time. Based on the experience of fieldwork of Svitlana Aleksievich, Katarzyna Kwiatkowska-Moskalewicz, or Malgorzata Reimer, we can conclude that in modern journalism, where the tools of travel anthropology are used, the practical methods of complexity, reflexivity, principles of openness, and semiotics are decisive. Their authors implement both for stable localization and for a prevailing transition.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The Socio-Economic Energy Model for Digitalization (SEED) quantifies digitalization's impacts on technology investment choices, energy consumption, and emissions in different energy sectors. It belongs to the class of Agent Based Models and simulates the decision processes of various heterogenous actors of the energy system: households, services sectors and industry sectors. These decision processes relate to the adoption of digital services and practices, as well as the investment in end-use energy technologies to support them. The model represents a large set of complex interactions between its actors, such as peereffects, producer-consumer relationships and employee-employer relationships. It can also be linked to the Swiss TIMES energy system model (STEM) to evaluate broader implications to the energy supply and infrastructure arising from the decisions of the SEED actors. The current article formally describes the SEED model based on the Overview Design Concept and Details (ODD) protocol. It also lists its main features, assumptions and data sources.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The article clarifies of gender identity stereotypes in modern media. The main gender stereotypes covered in modern mass media are analyzed and refuted. The model of gender relations in the media is reflected mainly in the stereotypical images of men and woman. The features of the use of gender concepts in modern periodicals for women and men were determined. The most frequently used derivatives of these macroconcepts were identified and analyzed in detail. It has been found that publications for women and men are full of various gender concepts that are used in different contexts. Ingeneral, theanalysisofthe concept-maximums and concept-minimum gender and their characteristics is carried out in the context of gender stereotypes that have been forme dand function in the society, system atizing the a ctual presentations. The study of the gender concept is relevant because it reveals new trends and features of modern gender images. Taking into account the special features of gender-labeled periodicals in general and the practical absence of comprehensive scientific studies of the gender concept in particular, there is a need to supplement Ukrainian science with this topic. Gender psychology, which is served by methods of various sciences, primarily sociological, pedagogical, linguistic, psychological, socio-psychological. Let us pay attention to linguistic and psycholinguistic methods in gender studies. Linguistic methods complement intelligence research tasks, associated with speech, word and text. Psycholinguistic methods used in gender psychology (semantic differential, semantic integral, semantic analysis of words and texts), aimed at studying speech messages, specific mechanisms of origin and perception, functions of speech activity in society, studying the relationship between speech messages and gender properties participants in the communication, to analyze the linguistic development in connection with the general development of the individual. Nowhere in gender practice there is the whole arsenal of psychological methods that allow you to explore psychological peculiarities of a person like observation, experiments, questionnaires, interviews, testing, modeling, etc. The methods of psychological self-diagnostics include: the gender aspect of the own socio-psychological portrait, a gender biography as a variant of the biographical method, aimed at the reconstruction of individual social experience. In the process of writing a gender autobiography, a person can understand the characteristics of his gender identity, as well as ways and means of their formation. Socio-psychological methods of studying gender include the study of socially constructed women’s and men’s roles, relationships and identities, sexual characteristics, psychological characteristics, etc. The use of gender indicators and gender approaches as a means of socio-psychological and sociological analysis broadens the subject boundaries of these disciplines and makes them the subject of study within these disciplines. And also, in the article a combination of concrete-historical, structural-typological, system-functional methods is implemented. Descriptive and comparative methods, method of typology, modeling are used. Also used is a method of content analysis for the study of gender content of modern gender-stamped journals. It was he who allowed quantitatively to identify and explore the features of the gender concept in the pages of periodicals for women and men. A combination of historical, structural-typological, system-functional methods is also implemented in the article. Descriptive and comparative methods, method of typology, modeling are used. A method of content analysis for the study of gender content of modern gender-labeled journals is also used. It allowed to identify and explore the features of the gender concept quantitatively in the periodicals for women and men. The conceptual perception and interpretation of the gender concept «woman», which is highlighted in the modern gender-labeled press in Ukraine, requires the elaboration of the polyfunctionality of gender interpretations, the comprehension of the metaphorical perception of this image and its role and purpose in society. A gendered approach to researching the gender content of contemporary periodicals for women and men. Conceptual analysis of contemporary gender-stamped publications within the gender conceptual sphere allows to identify and correlate the meta-gender and gender concepts that appear in society.

Abstract. The article dwells upon the Earth remote sensing data as one of the basic directions of Geo-Information Science, a unique source of information on processes and phenomena occurring in almost all spheres of the Earth geographic shell (atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, etc.). The authors argue that the use of aerospace images by means of the information and communication technologies involvement in the learning process allows not only to increase the information context value of learning, but also contributes to the formation of students’ cognitive interest in such disciplines as geography, biology, history, physics, computer science, etc. It has been grounded that remote sensing data form students’ spatial, temporal and qualitative concepts, sensory support for the perception, knowledge and explanation of the specifics of objects and phenomena of geographical reality, which, in its turn, provides an increase in the level of educational achievements. The techniques of aerospace images application into the modern school practice have been analyzed and illustrated in the examples: from using them as visual aids, to realization of practical and research orientation of training on the basis of remote sensing data. Particular attention is paid to the practical component of the Earth remote sensing implementation into the modern school practice with the help of information and communication technologies.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In many parts of the world, the centralized grid provides energy to the population only to a limited extent. The electrification for sub-Saharan Africa countries is the lowest in the world, representing half of the world's population withoutelectricity. However, during the last years there has been an increased attention to rural areas in the Global South beyond the centralised grid, especially with respect to improved possibilities of solar power systems. The transition from one dominant form of energy provision to various alternatives includes different dimensions and depends on specific socio-spatial contexts. Energy systems are framed within systems of spatial practices, performed by a variety of involved actors, like consumers, local suppliers, international for-profit companies, international development donors as well as national and regional authorities. As such power systems arealways cause and effect of socio-technical change This study takes the example of Rwanda to analyse the marketization of decentralised energy systems. Based on empirical field work with energy entrepreneurs it combines Post-Colonial Theory with Science and Technology-Studies to theorise the role of energy to the social production of space beyond the grid.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Unfolding processes of timbre and memory in improvisational piano performance This exposition is an introduction to my research and practice as a pianist, in which I unfold processes of timbre and memory in improvised music from a performer’s perspective. Timbre is often understood as a purely sonic perceptual phenomenon. However, this is not in accordance with a site-specific improvisational practice with changing spatial circumstances impacting the listening experience, nor does it take into account the agency of the instrument and objects used or the performer’s movements and gestures. In my practice, I have found a concept as part of the creating process in improvised music which has compelling potential: Timbre orchestration. My research takes the many and complex aspects of a performance environment into account and offers an extended understanding of timbre, which embraces spatial, material and bodily aspects of sound in improvised music performance. The investigative projects described in this exposition offer a methodology to explore timbral improvisational processes integrated into my practice, which is further extended through collaborations with sound engineers, an instrument builder and a choreographer: -experiments in amplification and recording, resulting in Memory piece, a series of works for amplified piano and multichannel playback - Piano mapping, a performance approach, with a custom-built device for live spatialization as means to expand and deepen spatio-timbral relationships; - Accretion, a project with choreographer Toby Kassell for three grand pianos and a pianist, where gestural approaches are used to activate and compose timbre in space. Together, the projects explore memory as a structural, reflective and performative tool and the creation of performing and listening modes as integrated parts of timbre orchestration. Orchestration and choreography of timbre turn into an open and hybrid compositional approach, which can be applied to various contexts, engaging with dynamic relationships and re-configuring them.

This brief distils best data practice recommendations through consideration of key issues involved in the use of technology for surveillance, fact-checking and coordinated control during crisis or emergency response in resource constrained urban contexts. We draw lessons from how data enabled technologies were used in urban COVID-19 response, as well as how standard implementation procedures were affected by the pandemic. Disease control is a long-standing consideration in building smart city architecture, while humanitarian actions are increasingly digitised. However, there are competing city visions being employed in COVID-19 response. This is symptomatic of a broader range of tech-based responses in other humanitarian contexts. These visions range from aspirations for technology driven, centralised and surveillance oriented urban regimes, to ‘frugal innovations’ by firms, consumers and city governments. Data ecosystems are not immune from gendered- and socio-political discrimination, and technology-based interventions can worsen existing inequalities, particularly in emergencies. Technology driven public health (PH) interventions thus raise concerns about 1) what types of technologies are appropriate, 2) whether they produce inclusive outcomes for economically and socially disadvantaged urban residents and 3) the balance between surveillance and control on one hand, and privacy and citizen autonomy on the other.
