The article analyzes the impact of information on education. This computerization is seen as a social phenomenon. The author refers to the origins of the formation of Social Informatics of the last century, highlighting the social significance of informatization of society as a whole. Understanding the educational space as part of the social, the author shows the influence of information as a social phenomenon on all components of the educational space, while stressing the four leading social aspects. These aspects of the conviction of the author are the following: changes in the components of the educational process under the influence of informatization; change themselves subjects of educational space under the influence of informatization; alteration of the boundaries of space and proper educational change axiological field of educational space, requiring information security measures. The article convincingly proved the lack of educational research in the analysis of social values and social aspects of informatization of educational space. Because of this kind of research is carried out in the sociology and philosophy, pedagogy open to the prospects of new research areas.

The global cities of the world are witnessing a visible disconnection of everyday life. In India the Smart City guidelines acknowledge the need to counter the growing social detachment and intolerance by encouraging interactions. They go further in identifying that preserving and creating of open spaces must be a key feature of comprehensive urban development. Most social relations are cemented within open spaces at the neighbourhood level. Previous studies examine the association between the attributes of neighbourhood open spaces and social activity but neglect to view the issue comprehensively. The present study turns to Lefebvre’s Unitary Theory which states that open space is a result of three forces; 1) perceived space which is the physical dimension and material quality identifiable by the senses; 2) conceived space created by planners and other agents as plans and documents; and 3) lived space which is shaped by the values attached and images generated through user experience. For open space conducive to social interactions these three aspects must work in tandem. With this consideration a framework of criteria and indicators is developed and used to measure and compare the open spaces in select neighbourhoods in Europe and India. The investigation thus reveals differences in all three aspects of neighbourhood spaces. It also reveals a discrepancy between the planning standards formulated and employed by the city authorities in providing the spaces and the actual needs of the community. The research aims to address this gap. The study of the Indian cases lays foundation for the use of the framework to measure open spaces in association with social cohesion and thereby contribute to the enhancement of the social infrastructure of the City.

Different approaches to the understanding of social space in sociology are considered. Attention is focused on the features of the social space in the context of professional mobility. The study made it possible to single out two aspects of considering the category of social space with professional mobility of young people: personal perception of space and the emergence of new structures due to movements and social interactions.

We consider the necessity of the fair activities development in the urban culture space. A fair has the beneficial influence on social and cultural and economic changes in the urban environment. The research is based on the relevance of studying the fair potential as a social and cultural phenomenon, which is both economic and cultural as it contains functions of a social and cultural nature. To determine the fair social aspects in the urban culture space we consider fair as a social institution, examine its social and organizational activities. We consider the historical aspects of the fair appearance and functioning in the urban culture space. The social aspects of the fair are determined in many ways by the material world peculiarities which fill the fair space. Social, cultural senses and meanings are enclosed in the fair things and the fair itself is some kind of a language of culture. Communicative function of the fair is significant, it manifests itself in the creation of a communicative space, which includes communication, information exchange, self-realization, self-representation. A cultural and historical analysis of the fair social aspects led to several conclusions. Firstly, modern fairs are aimed at the preservation and reproduction of traditional culture. Secondly, such events contribute to the formation of new economic and social and cultural communication platforms. Such events as the fair fill the urban space with art, creative life, and allow urban culture to develop. The fair contributes to the renewal and dynamics of urban space. It preserves and complements the traditional sphere of cultural heritage.

This study examined the implementation of a biodanza program in a kindergarten for five-year-olds. The purpose of the project was to understand the contribution of biodanza to social-emotional learning (SEL) of kindergarten children. The exposure of children to biodanza made it possible to stimulate a social-emotional aspects of children’s development: to promote closeness and a sense of belonging to a group, and to encourage children to open up, express themselves, and show initiative. This was a qualitative case study carried out in 2017-2019 in Israel. The findings of this study suggest that the introduction of biodanza into kindergarten encouraged coping closeness, emotional and social expression, and social initiative. Biodanza created social situations that aroused the children’s curiosity to discover many and varied points of view and to cultivate empathy and acceptance. The data have revealed that collective games should be integrated into vivencias, to offer activities that allow the formation of spontaneous connections between the children, in the form of games. In time, the vivencia space was filled with the children’s laughter, and positive gestures multiplied.

Resumen El estudio de las relaciones entre la configuración del espacio público y su uso social es un tema habitual del diseño urbano. También son comunes, en la literatura especializada, las propuestas de tipos de espacio público orientadas al análisis de la trama urbana o como referencias operativas para su diseño. Este artículo pretende cruzar ambas aproximaciones con la intención de confirmar que los tipos de espacio público propuestos hasta ahora no se fundamentan en las relaciones entre forma y uso social sino en otros aspectos: principalmente, en su morfología y aspectos visuales y, de manera secundaria, en su función urbana, percepción sensorial, origen histórico, aspectos ambientales y gestión de su propiedad.Para ello, se establece el alcance de los términos 'espacio público' y 'uso social'. A continuación, se selecciona una bibliografía básica del diseño urbano y se identifican conceptos para posibles clasificaciones de espacio público. Finalmente, se describen y categorizan los numerosos tipos de espacio público recogidos en la bibliografía según los conceptos identificados previamente. Las conclusiones señalan los aspectos comunes en que se basan las distintas propuestas de tipos de espacio público según su enfoque, ámbito territorial y momento de la evolución de la ciudad al que hacen referencia.Abstract Relationships between public space configuration and its social use are common research in urban design and related disciplines. Public space types are usually proposed in specialized literature too, with the aim of being useful to analyse existing urban fabric or to plan and design new urban spaces. This paper intends to integrate both approaches in order to confirm that currently proposed types of public space are not based in a complex vision of relations between its shape and social use, and that there are different key aspects in these classifications: primarily, morphology and visual aspects and, to a lesser degree, urban function, perception, historical origins, environmental aspects and property management.Scope of 'public space' and 'social use' concepts in this text is previously defined in order to achieve this. Hereafter, an essential urban design bibliography is selected and, at the same time, key topics in which these public space types could be based are identified. Finally, public space types included in bibliography are described and categorized on the basis of selected topics. Conclusions identify common aspects in which public space types are based depending on its theoretical approach, territorial scope and historic period covered.
