The relevance of psychosocial maps in the study of urban districts
2011
Abstract This pilot study proposes a social map-making method based on the link between the evaluation of the neighbourhoods and the populations residing in them. It was carried on a sample of residents of Dijon’s urban area, a French city (N = 99) divided into four groups, according to the geographical location (in the city / in the suburbs) and the social status (wealthy / disadvantaged) of their living space. The procedure is inspired by social representation gathering methods. Respondents were asked (1) to evaluate their own neighbourhood and others on two scales (social reputation and personal appreciation); (2) to evaluate populations on two similar scales; (3) to determine how these …
Nowe tendencje edukacji pedagogicznej w Polsce i na Ukrainie w zmieniającej się rzeczywistości
2018
Artykuł dotyczy problematyki kształcenia studentów wyższych uczelni pedagogicznych w kontekście rozwoju i modernizacji systemu szkolnictwa wyższego. Podstawowym czynnikiem wymuszających zmiany są procesy związane z globalizacją, takie jak zmiana stylu życia związana ze wzrostem tempa interakcji społecznej pod wpływem nowych technologii, migracją ludności, transferem usług oraz unifikacja kulturową wynikającą z kopiowania modelów konsumpcji i nieograniczonego rozprzestrzeniania idei. Wobec tych gwałtownie przebiegających zmian, jednym z najważniejszych zadań dla kształcenia pedagogicznego wydaje się stworzenie systemu profesjonalnej edukacji nauczyciela potrafiącego sprostać przyszłym wyzwan…

This study is a review of the engagement of local communities in the management of natural resources in the Horn of Africa and Kenya, with the objective to contribute to enhancing equity in the relationship of local communities with protected areas.
La laguna opaca. Gestión y gobernanza del agua en l’Albufera de València (España)
2019
International audience; The Albufera de Valencia is a complex anthropogenic waterscape, constructed by different social groups over centuries. Today water management in the protected wetland remains opaque, much like the water in the eutrophic lagoon. Four major organiza-tions manage this natural heritage, which remains torn between nature conservation and rice growing, in a jigsaw of overlap-ping jurisdictions and crisscrossed visions. Water management in this socioecological-system is complex and contested, and takes place within a changing scenario due to recent variations in the water quality and quantity budgets. This paper analyses this changing socio-ecological system based on interv…

Ceļvedis pilsētu tekstu izpētē
2020
Populārzinātniskā izdevuma pamatā ir trīs daļas: metodoloģiskā, teorētiskā un praktiskā daļa. Pirmā daļa ir paredzēta valodniekiem, valodas pedagogiem un tiem, kuri vēlas iepazīties ar lingvistiskās ainavas teoriju un jaunākajām pedagoģijas teorijām Otrā un trešā daļa ir saistoša valodas apguvējiem un tiem, kurus interesē pilsētu tekstu daudzpusīga izpēte. 1. Metodoloģiskajā daļā tiek runāts par valodas mācīšanas pieejām un refleksīvo pedagoģiju, zināšanu veidošanās procesiem un tekstpratību. 2. Teorētisko daļu veido divas nodaļas, kurās populārzinātniski ir izklāstīti ar pilsētu tekstiem saistīti jautājumi, definēti galvenie termini (t. sk. svešvalodās) un sniegti ieteikumi praktisko pētīj…
Currency unions and trade : what is the impact of the euro on trade in the euro area?
2012
The aim of this study is to estimate the effect of the euro on trade within the euro area. This has been a relevant question for European politicians ever since the launch of the common currency was agreed on in the Maastricht Treaty in 1992. To analyse the topic the gravity model of international trade augmented with several dummy variables is employed using panel data of 29 developed countries between 1995 and 2010. The estimated aggregate trade effect on the euro zone reaches 10 % in the most preferred regression and is comparable with earlier estimates. However, there is considerable variation in the results when different sample sizes are used. This could be a sign of omitted variable …
Public and Private Economic Feasibility of Green Areas as a Passive Energy Measure: A Case Study in the Mediterranean City of Trapani in Southern Ita…
2022
Green infrastructure in urban environments provides a wide range of ecological, social, aesthetic, and health co-benefits. Urban plant covers in particular contribute to improved outdoor environmental conditions that, in turn, influence the energy behavior of buildings and their indoor thermo-hygrometric comfort performance. Within this context, this study illustrates a methodology aimed at verifying the economic feasibility of alternative types of green areas for public and private stakeholders, which are analyzed as passive energy measures. Therefore, our methodology integrates approaches from different disciplines and consists of a microclimatic analysis of different vegetation scenarios…
Considerations about an indicator aimed at describing the energy efficiency of buildings with innovative envelope components at different climatic co…
2020
Green roofs are building components that have become increasingly common in urban contexts because other than the general improvement of the aesthetics of the buildings equipped with them, they have demonstrated to positively improve the building energy performance. Consequently, it would be useful for technicians to have easy and reliable indicators to achieve a synthetic quantitative judgement about the effectiveness of green roofs by an energy perspective compared to others building envelope technologies, for different climates. In sight of the definition of such an indicator, or at least of its properties, some considerations aimed at this purpose, especially concerning the use of new c…
The Impact of Green Roofs on the Parameters of the Environment in Urban Areas—Review
2019
This study presents the results of a review of publications conducted by researchers in a variety of climates on the implementation of ‘green roofs’ and their impact on the urban environment. Features of green roofs in urban areas have been characterized by a particular emphasis on: Filtration of air pollutants and oxygen production, reduction of rainwater volume discharged from roof surfaces, reduction of so-called ‘urban heat islands’, as well as improvements to roof surface insulation (including noise reduction properties). The review of the publications confirmed the necessity to conduct research to determine the coefficients of the impact of green roofs on the environment in the city c…
